Hafiz Cherating Activities
We took the Night Fireflies tour on 14-March-2020. It was a great experience for my whole family. The tourguide, Hafiz, was so knowledgeable and had so much experience. He explained to us in detail the lifespan of fireflies and the dos/donts to the fireflies when we set out. Our parents and children really enjoyed the trip. Thank you!

Mangrove cruise and turtle release - Hafiz activities
We did a 4pm river cruise. Very beautiful and relaxing. Perfect for kids any age as it is safe and slow and stress-free. We saw snakes, bats, monkeys and lizards. We then did the 6.30pm turtle release about a 20min drive away. We all loved it, but the amount of plastic litter in the area was appalling. The guide warned us of the dangers of plastic waste in the oceans, but the turtle sanctuary couldn't be bothered to clean up the plastic around their own area. There was even a big bin bag of plastic waste spilled and left lying there. The baby turtles were put in basins for us to see and hold (with gloves) for about 30mins before they were released. I felt a bit uncomfortable with this as everyone, young and old were picking up the turtles for photos and they were handled a lot in that time. Maybe it's not a problem for the turtles and they seemed to have no problem finding their way to the ocean when they were released, but it seemed like uneccessary stress for the turtles. But all in all it was a lovely activity especially for the kids.
