  • Fun Family Snorkeling Experience

    Overall great experience learning a bit about life on the smaller islands near Cebu and enjoying some fun snorkeling in the clear waters. Our guide Kenn was very friendly and knowledgeable. Group size was perfect as we were just under a dozen on the boat so we didn't overwhelm the locations like some of the larger boats did.

  • Nalusuan marine sanctuary was the highlight of this trip

    Unfortunately our boat broke down after our first stop at Gilutongan marine sanctuary - and we had to wait 1.5 hours for it to be fixed ! 😩 The next stop at Nalusuan marine sanctuary was wonderful - shallow waters with so many colourful fish (including nemo 😃) - the next stop at Caohagen island - was interesting walking through the pretty little village but 1.5 hours a little too long there (only needed to be half hour) - unfortunately the break down of the boat tainted our experience and made to overall trip too long

  • Kawhagan Island

    I went on a private tour of the three islands in October. It was unfortunate that the planned Pandanon island was temporarily banned from Cebu due to Bohol policy, and it was changed to Cowhagan a few days before the event, but Cowhagan was the only island I imagined in the Philippines itself where I could enjoy shopping without any sense of value due to the low yen. The first time I snorkeled here, I was parked in the deep sea, where there was nothing around, and as soon as the small boats swarmed, I was forced into a situation where I had no choice but to buy empty sea urchins and other items that were not for sale, without any questions asked by the Japanese bella bella vendors. The tour company replied that selling things on the sea was a source of income for the local islanders, but if that was the case I wanted to contribute to Cowhagan and it would have been a good memory if it had been priced right. I took more with me because I was told that you can enjoy shopping in Cowhagan 🥹 Is the photo a hanging object made from shells bought on Gauhagan Island? . It is a medium-volume item with a strong presence, and I love it when you put Minnie on it, it looks like you are on a balloon. I was impressed by the way they were devised so that you could take them home properly. It was 300 pesos. There were many other cute accessories made of shells and small items that I had never seen in attractive Japan, and I wanted to buy more, but I had no choice but to give up. I was scared of the push from the sellers, but I enjoyed it because when I said no at an acceptable price, they pulled out. Is Gauhagan Island rustic? Is it modern or not? - Yeah. This building is a school. But the school was closed after the disaster and now I study online. I was surprised by the guidance!

    Great organisation, Farrah was very helpful and managed to answer my many questions about the region and its culture. The crew ship is professional and very friendly.

  • It was fun.

    There's a reason to leave early in the morning, and other tours allow you to enjoy nature before the island gets crowded. The guides are there to make sure the group members are comfortable, so there is nothing to worry about if you join alone. There was nothing awkward about not having to pay anything extra besides the tour fee. You can enjoy a pleasant day!

    Experience was superb! Specially stop at Nalusuan Island, we did swimming there. It’s almost like I went down to a big aquarium. It was really breathtaking experience. Our tour guide was Mae! She was super cool, made sure our tour goes smoothly. For those who seeking a chill & relaxing trip, definitely, you should go for island hopping.

  • 3 island hop day trip with snorkelling

    This is a good option to visit a few different islands, snorkel and see some amazing fish, coral, starfish and get away from the busy city. As a group tour there are other pick ups on the way and traffic is always busy so expect a good hour or more travelling to and from the port. The bus driver was very helpful and stopped at a 7-11 store so people could get drinks/breakfast snacks as the picks ups began at 6am. Mae was our guide once we got to the port. Super friendly and informative, she explained how the day would plan out and what we would be doing at each location. The boat men were very kind and helped people on and off the boats via the gang plank. We were in a newer faster boat so it took about 15 mins to each island. First one we didn’t access the island but dropped anchor and snorkelled all around. The next island we did walk all around. Amazing starfish, as we walked along the pier then we could snorkel again, these were shallower warmer water with such a variety of colourful fish. We went back in our boat to enjoy lunch before taking a little boat to the last island. This is more a small section of the island to walk around with some tourist stalls but a great sandbank where you could walk with starfish and find lots of cool shells. If you wanted to just relax on the main big boat you could choose to do that too or swim as on this last island it’s too shallow to swim. Overall great day out to experience the islands and sea life and Mae and the whole boat and driver team made us all very welcome.

    From start to finish, this experience was outstanding. I had to rebook my trip and, with just a small amendment fee, the process was made incredibly smooth. A special thank you to James from customer service—he was so helpful and made sure everything was sorted perfectly. The tour itself was amazing. We visited beautiful islands where we fed the fish and went snorkeling—the fish swam right up to us! Liza, our tour guide, was warm, attentive, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. The boat crew was equally wonderful, adding to the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It was such an authentic and memorable experience, the kind that truly captures the beauty of Cebu. I’m so happy with the service and highly recommend it to anyone visiting—this is an absolute must-do!
