Very nice day with our guide Jessie, who shared with us the love of her country, its culture and its traditions. This guide has a lot of humor and formed with his driver a great team. He knew how to listen to us, answered our many questions, it was a very pleasant and informative day, thank you again to Jessie!

A perfect day! A kind, attentive guide and driver, a journey out of mass tourism... visit the tarsiers sanctuary from the opening to avoid the world, chocolate hills side nature without the mass of tourists... coconut wine tasting at the Filipino, local market with speciality tasting... a day at the top to recommend without hesitation!

Very good but windy trip. Saw dolphines on the way. Saw a sea turtle while snorkling and many little clown fish. A bit of stings from the gobbles in the water. Jessie, our guide, gave a good tour of the island. Skipped the virgin islands as it was too crowded and saw Isla Tomasa instead. The island hopping from Bohol has many tourists, so it is busy and crowded no matter what. But still a must-do recommendation.

We enjoyed our island hopping experience. We got the chance to snorkel at Balicasag Island, eat a private lunch on the boat and enjoy Virgin Island as well. Our tour guide and two captains of the boat took care of us. We recommend this private tour to everyone!

This trip was the highlight so far! We saw so many dolphins swimming beside the boat and jumping out of the water it was incredible. We both loved the island visit, we saw barely any tourists and was lovely to see that Ecotravelers gives back to the island which is wonderful. Lovely to meet the locals and the young children at nursery who all waved and said hello. Jessie was amazing he answered all our questions and was very knowledgable. Thank you. We snorkelled and saw turtles which again was truly amazing. Lunch was a banquet for two. This private tour was amazing. We booked purely on the reviews on here and booked direct. A trip not to be missed when visiting Bohol

This excursion was fantastic. We were picked up on time, saw the dolphins, had a lovely and educational walk around the island, went snorkelling to see amazing fish, coral and a few turtles and finally had a lovely and well prepared lunch on board. On the way back we visited Virgin Island which is a lovely sandbank out in the ocean and was very nice to walk around in the shallow and crystal clear waters. Our guide Fronie was incredible. Very easy going, knowledgeable about local culture and super helpful with our 3 year old daughter. There was a lot of carrying required for the wee one and we got so much help from Fronie from carrying the wee one to helping with the bag and snorkelling equipment. We can’t recommend Fronie and this excursion highly enough

Must do in bohol - our favorite tour by far including coron & el Nido! We saw dolphins which were incredible at sun rise & swam with two big turtles - surreal! I requested a couple of things like visiting the local school and the tour operator arranged everything. Jessie is super personable & knowledgeable so you get a glimpse into authentic php culture. I loved the school, the kids were so cute & friendly. The food was the best tour food we had all trip. Definitely book this tour - island hopping - and ecotraveler who shy away from all the usual tourist spots and focus on sustainable practice. Thank you!

Really great tour. Jessie our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on the Philippines history and current day affairs. Lunch was great and he made sure we got snorkelling in quiet location.

Excellent way to spend the day. Being in the Philippines you almost always get good service from all the people here. But Jesse was next level. His attention to customers and servicabiltiy towards your every need was out standing. With out even asking most of the time he picked the type of people we were and made sure we had little distractions from other tourists from where swam, dived and even organised getting our food on the boat so we can eat alone.
