Blue Ghost Firely Tours

Step into a hidden forest near Asheville and witness the rare glow of the Blue Ghost Fireflies, a magical natural phenomenon found only in select remote areas of North Carolina. Unlike common backyard fireflies, these mysterious creatures float slowly just above the forest floor, casting a soft and steady light through the darkness. Their brief mating season and fragile habitat make this experience truly special and available only for a limited time each year. Small group sizes ensure a quiet and respectful atmosphere deep within a private woodland setting.

This nighttime adventure invites curious and patient guests to sit in near total darkness while surrounded by nature. A short hike over uneven terrain leads to the viewing area, so moderate fitness and comfort walking at night are important. While the tour is not focused on photography, guidance is offered for those bringing proper equipment and carefully covered light sources. Protecting the ecosystem and preserving the experience for all participants remains the highest priority throughout this unforgettable evening.
