Romantic, Beautiful, Therapeutic: Perfect!

5.00We couldn't be happier with our island-hopping experience. It was just the two of us, our guide, and the boat crew for the entire trip. From the amazing lunch of seafood caught and presented right in front of us (I don't think it's possible to eat fresher seafood), to the expansive, beautiful views, to swimming through schools of exotic fish- all the boxes were checked: romantic, relaxing, delicious, therapeutic. You can't go wrong with this business, and our guide was the best one I have had on any of these trips.
⭐ 5/5 — We Had an Amazing Island Hopping Day!

5.00We had such an amazing time on this island hopping tour and we would recommend it to anyone staying in Mactan. Kenn was our tour guide and he made the whole experience even better. He was communicative, funny, and very informative, so we always knew what was happening and felt comfortable the entire day. — We felt secure from start to finish, whether we were on the boat, snorkeling, or exploring the islands. — Nalusuan Island was our favorite spot. The water was crystal clear and full of fish, and we loved that we got to spend the most time there. The timing at each island felt perfect. Nothing felt rushed and nothing dragged on. — Lunch was delicious. We had grilled skewers, rice, and fresh mangoes, and everything tasted amazing after swimming. — If we had to mention one small con, it would be the loud boat. It is pretty common around Mactan, so it did not take away from our experience or change our rating. Everything else was so good that it barely mattered. — Another big perk was that the tour left right from Mactan, which made it very convenient from our resort. — Overall, we had a blast and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable island adventure.
Escape the city and do a little island hopping on this tour!

5.00How enjoyable! Everything was just as described, efficient, and on time. We swam and snorkeled in clear waters, fed a bazillion colorful tropical fishes, and saw three islands with beautiful white sand and tropical waters. Our Guide, Richel and the crew on the boat were fun and professional. The lunch cooked and served on board the boat was absolutely delicious.We highly recommend this tour.
Enjoyable island hopping day trip

5.00We were picked up exactly on time from our hotel and the day was exactly as described, with snorkels and masks, water, lunch and towels provided. The first stop was quite choppy but they provided life jackets if required. The next two stops were very calm with plenty of fish (especially when they’re fed!). They sell cold drinks on board and you’re able to hire water activities after the boat tour but there’s no hard sell. Our guide Farrah confirmed the tips are shared between the guide and the team on the boat as they did an excellent job of keeping an eye on us in the water, feeding us and helping us at any point.

5.00Our Cebu 3-Island Hopping tour with barbecue lunch was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire day was well organized, relaxing, and filled with beautiful scenery and great hospitality. A special thank you to our tour guide, Elvira, who did a fantastic job throughout the trip. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Her energy and professionalism really made the tour memorable, and she took great care of our group during each stop along the islands. I would also like to recognize Francisco, our driver, who was punctual, professional, and ensured our transportation was smooth and safe the entire day. His reliability and positive attitude helped make the experience even more enjoyable. The island hopping itself was incredible—clear waters, beautiful beaches, and a delicious barbecue lunch that was the perfect break in the middle of the day. Everything was well coordinated, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend the Cebu 3-Island Hopping tour to anyone visiting the area. Many thanks again to Elvira and Francisco for their excellent service and for making the day so enjoyable.

5.00This was a great first day tour because it’s simple, relaxing and you see plenty of beautiful fish while snorkelling. It’s good to do before some of the bigger full day tours in other areas. The BBQ lunch prepared on the boat was a nice local touch
This was an amazing tour...

5.00This was an amazing tour that everyone should experience while vacationing in Cebu. All 3 islands were beautiful, but Nalusuan was definitely our favorite. Make sure you use the restroom while there because the facilities on Caohagan are not as nice and you have to pay to use them. The staff on the boat are such hard workers. We got stuck in shallow waters and they pushed the boat to shore. They were also very attentive to my 9-year-old daughter and mother who are not strong swimmers. I almost forgot to mention, the fish you see while snorkling are beautiful as are the corals at Nalusuan. Walking along the beach in Caohagan we found many seashells. Last but not least, the bbq lunch was delicious. What a great day!
Nicely organized tour...

5.00Nicely organized tour over 3 small islands. Hotel pickup worked like a charme and the team and crew was nice and helpful. However would be good to have a bit more of snorkeling but I assume than you have to book a different tour. All in all : recommend.
Fantastic tour and great food

5.00The tour was a great time pickup was smooth and we had a bus with AC take us to the port. The boat ride was very fun, the crew took pictures of everyone (optional) and they made the journey entertaining. The snorkeling was nice (my first time) at the first and second island. The lunch on the boat was fantastic! The crew cooked up 1/4 chicken, beef skewers, grilled shrimp, rice and had mango and banana. Overall I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re in the area.
