As dusk settles over the Smokies, the forest slips into something softer — a place of shadow, sparkle, and quiet magic. Flight of the Firefly invites guests into that in-between hour, when the day fades, the night begins to sing, and fireflies blink among the trees like the tiny fairy lights we remember from childhood stories. 

With 19 known species of fireflies in the Smokies, this seasonal evening walk explores the glowing world of fireflies, nocturnal animals, night sounds, and the deep stillness of the mountains after dark. 

Led by a knowledgeable guide, guests learn about firefly behavior, forest ecology, night vision, and the creatures that wake as the sun goes down. Thoughtful and low-impact, this walk offers a respectful way to experience the nighttime Smokies — quiet, memorable, and touched with a little fairytale wonder. 

Transportation from the meeting location is included in this tour.

Best for: Families, couples, nature lovers, seasonal visitors, firefly enthusiasts, and guests looking for a unique evening experience in the Smokies.
