  Very friendly and accommodating guides, Island hopping is great to get away from the stresses of the city, lunch was provided too and satisfied every tummy. Don't miss the snorkeling, lots of colorful fish and starfish to see, there's also nearby speedboaters offering rides if you're feeling more adventurous

  Great experience. JZ was my tour guide and he was hospitable and knowledgeable about the country and the islands we visited. I got to go snorkeling, eat some Filipino food for lunch, and hold a starfish. This was a very relaxing experience. I had to whole cottage to myself since I booked during the off season. This was a great way to see some of the islands from Manila. They even picked me up from my hostel. It is a long 2.5 hour drive there and 3.5 hour drive back. My driver was great and expertly navigated the streets. I just napped on the way back.

• Excellent choice for a Manila day trip

  Our family of three visiting from the U.S. thoroughly enjoyed this. It is a bit of a trek from Manila (approx 3 hours each way), but totally worth it. For kids - we even had a stop where our ten year old was able to stand in the ocean, it was that shallow, and pick up starfish. The snorkeling spot was excellent, and the whole setup with the houseboats was very unique. It’s an excellent day trip from Manila, and unlike many others doesn’t require you get up at an absurd time to make it there and back. Thank you Via!

• Ideal for families

  Amazing excursion! A boat trip with transparent waters. Ideal for families. The guide and driver very friendly. Forecast Manila traffic.

  The trip was a great experience. Andrei our tour guide was exceptional. From the moment we were picked up till we were dropped off, the trip was amazing. I am not a swimmer, but I got I to the water and participated in the snorkeling. It was relaxing and fun, exactly what we wanted and needed. The driver,Noey(not sure of the spelling), took us there and brought us back safely, and kept us entertained with awesome music. The car was air-conditioned and comfortable. I recommend this tour a 100%

  Andrei was an amazing guide. Andrei shared a lot of local details and information on our way to the Bamboo Cottage. We enjoyed swimming and looking for shells. The grilled lunch was absolutely delicious. Our family of 7, range in age from 77-12 and everyone enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend.

• The pictures don't do it justice. Honestly just buy it rose was amazing and made we got to explore the water and local markets.

  Rose and Malone were awesome. They gave us a history lesson and an adventure. Form the drive to the destination there wasn't a dull moment. Got to really learn about the beautiful culture and became good friend in the process. Went to some markets and even got to see the food they purchased for us to eat on the boat. Got to meet some locals and do some gift shopping. Then when we arrived we got on the boat and we're taken to 3 destinations. Got into the water and explored the area. Water was crystal clear and full of life. When we got back into the boat we had food prepared for us from chicken to fish and corn and rice with some soft drinks. Then did more exploring and got to meet locals on the water. Will definitely do this again the next time I come to the Philippines

  Had a great time on this tour with Nona, Kyle , and Kenji. All three tour guides brought forth their own energy which made the day that much more enjoyable. Thanks for showing me around and allowing me to experience the beaches of the Philippines. Salamat-po.

  I thought this would be a great way to spend a day long layover in Manila for my family after traveling in Bali. I booked three weeks in advance. On the drop down menu for the tour, the airport was listed as a pick up/drop off point, but the night before my flight to the Philippines, I received a call from the tour guide that I would need to pay an additional $50 to be picked up at the airport and that my tour was then considered a private tour, rather than what I had booked because there were no other customers. We changed our last $50 into pesos and they picked us up. It took 3.5 hours to get to the location (advertised as 2 hours) with very little traffic on the way. The guide was very thoughtful and knowledgable. We learned that she was fired this day for disagreeing with her boss about the airport pick up fees. The location was horrendously dirty. Trash floating in the water. Snorkeling equipment was all broken and dirty. I got very ill from Bali Belly and we had to leave early, which was a god send. The drive back to the airport was 4.5 hours long, so I basically paid for 8 hour in a crappy van at the cost of nearly $600. I will advise Viator to drop this tour.
