I gave this a five star rating because the scenery was wonderful. The grotto‘s were amazing and breathtaking and the beaches were beautiful. Could’ve been a four star, but that would’ve been because the windy day that made for some rough seas and mechanical problems but the captain was skilled and got us there and back safely. Our guide Alton was attentive and informative and fed us a wonderful lunch on the beach. This is just the right amount of sightseeing and relaxation on beaches and in the water.

The boat crew andnour tour guide were really great. The boat captain -Oliver was amazing. and made sure of our safety. Our tour guide Darrel was very helpful in keeping everyone safe and was knowledgeable of the different islands as well as a good photographer. We enjoyed our boat crew. The food that was serve was very ordinary and cold. the company should have provided with a better one with the amount of money we paid for the tour.

This experience was fantastic, our tour guide Jonard was also great. Had enough time for every stop to enjoy the scenery with my wife on our private day trip. He was very attentive and took us to the spots before they would become very crowded perfect timing! Highly recommend his crew!

Professionalism, courtesy and class all the way. Jul and RJ made this an unforgettable experience. They know all the best spots when they’re not crowded, help with everything and know how to take the best pictures. Highly recommend them

My partner and I loved our private day trip, especially the visit to 7 commando beach. We think it is the best beach we have been to so far in the Philippines. Jonard and the crew were fantastic. Because it was a private trip we were able to get ahead of the crowds, and Jonard was very accomodating, letting us spend as long as we wanted at the lunch, beaches, snorkelling spots etc.

We 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!
