5.00We had such a wonderful time during our Daracutan day trip! I celebrated my birthday with my friends, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences. We enjoyed coral snorkeling, shipwreck diving, a cooking class, and even bracelet making. The water was very clear, and the whole place was absolutely beautiful. Special thanks to our tour guide, Kuya Josh, for assisting us throughout the entire tour. He made us feel like VIP guests. Even though I don’t know how to swim, he patiently taught me how to free dive, which made the experience even more special and unforgettable. All of the staff were kind, friendly, and very welcoming. You can really feel their hospitality and care for the guests. If there’s one thing that could be improved, it would probably be the food from the restaurant, but it was still fine overall. Also, thank you so much to Mango Tiger Agency for booking this amazing trip for us. Special mention to Valline for being so kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout the process. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Highly recommended!
A day well spent!
