5.00We had an absolutely incredible boat trip around El Nido, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Dolphy. From the moment we set off, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had the best experience possible. Dolphy took us to the most stunning spots, shared great insights about the islands, and made the whole day feel easy and enjoyable. His energy, humour, and professionalism really stood out. The tour itself was well-organised, the scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience felt unforgettable. If you’re visiting El Nido, I can’t recommend Dolphy and this tour highly enough. An amazing day with an amazing guide!
Dolphy you Legend, Amazing trip!!

5.00Amazing experience with Dolphy and his team. Super cordial, respectful, and professional given its typhoon season. They made sure to maximize our time and ensure we had a good time. Would do more excursions with them in the future.
Wonderful time

5.00We had a wonderful time. The crew was super helpful and friendly. Our tour guide Alvin was the best part of our trip. He was really good and accommodating when it came to taking pictures of us. Would definitely choose this tour again when we come back.

4.00This is the most amazing tour! We did a private tour and it was great! We got to each stop before the crowds. We went on the kayaks and our guides son lead us into the bay and through the tunnel to the small lagoon it was amazing! Don’t miss this tour. The larger tour was on their own and I don’t think they knew about the tunnel.
Great Private Tour A!

5.00Had an awesome day out with our guide Jo on Tour A today. We booked the tour the day before and received confirmation pretty quickly, and Jo picked us up at our hotel right on schedule as promised. We were taken to the beach and got our fins for snorkeling then hopped on the boat and were off. All the stops were great, and because we did a private tour we didn't have to wait for 20-30 other people to get off or on every time we had a stop, or deal with other people's pace or limitations. It was so nice to go at our own pace. Jo offered information and assistance throughout the day and showed us some great sights, and was very helpful. We ordered a vegetarian lunch which was provided as promised and was very good....we ate it on the boat docked in a nice quiet spot with beautiful scenery all around. We saw tons of beautiful fish snorkeling and spent time relaxing on 7 Commando Beach with almost nobody around. Then later, just as it started to get crowded, we left so were almost always away from the crowds...and that's exactly how we like it. And the weather was perfect! I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, especially with Jo as our guide. Highly recommend the private Tour A if it's your first time in El Nido.

5.00Fantastic way to explore the islands! A private tour is perfect as you don’t have to make small talk with strangers (a holiday is a break after all) and you get to chat with the crew and have the best time! Manuel and the crew were so great I requested them for the next day too. Manuel told me a little about each destination, came snorkelling with me, joined me on the kayak and took some great photos (he’s also a good singer!) and the crew took me to a more quiet beach for lunch close to the usual one. This was extra fun as I had some chilled quiet time in the sun (we’d had a bit of rain earlier!) and I met some local people on their holiday and chatted to some kids who wanted to practice their English which was such a lovely experience you wouldn’t get on a group tour. The crew were all very kind, even with little things like washing sand out my towel in the sea, making suggestions on timings to avoid crowds and I could go completely at my own pace. Highly recommend as a way to do your A but with a more special experience!
