Our tour guide, Edward, was very nice. There weren't any "professional photographers" on the beach as mentioned in the itinerary, but the guide himself took excellent photos. He provided guidance on poses and even helped take various photos and videos. Note that you need to wear water-resistant pants and shoes to fully enjoy taking pictures on the beach. There were many beautiful fireflies. The guide said that unless there's a heavy rain, you can generally see fireflies year-round. However, the itinerary was rather rushed, with most of the time spent casually exploring. Nevertheless, it's still worth a visit. 1) Very kind and nice tour guide Edward 2) Lots of fireflies 3) You must wear pants and slippers/sandals that allow you to step into the water so you can take great pictures! 4) No "professional photographer," but the tour guide is professional at taking reflection pictures on the beach.
