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.
Weather was rainy but still lots of fun!

5.00Great tour. Tour guide communicated clearly before the tour; engaging and very knowledgeable. Stops for swimming and snorkeling were fantastic; very clear water. Also got to understand island life during those stops. Lunch was sufficient on the boat. Started very early but ended before 4pm.

4.00Elvira and the crew were excellent and were very attentive for all our needs. Lunch was nice and the islands were very chilling however due to low tide we couldn’t do much swimming.

4.00Overall 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.
