    Great day out, the crew on the boat were super friendly and helpful. The scenery and locations we visited were amazing. Also a great buffet lunch was provided.

  • Good day on the water.

    We booked this tour to include pick-up at our hotel but the day before, when we checked the time we were to be collected, we were told there we were not being picked-up. If we had not checked we'd have been waiting in vain at our hotel as that was the meeting point on all our correspondence! Other than that the tour was good and the staff were all very helpful and friendly with the stops and lunch all good.

    This was our favorite tour, the stops were beautiful but also the staff were amazing. It was very well organized, everything went as planned, and the boat crew including our guide Brian, was very helpful and friendly. We had great fun on this tour:)

    A good tour, excellent crew. If I had to choose between Tour A and Tour C I would go for Tour C. Tour A felt like repeating the same process each time we arrived at a similar looking bay/island.

  • we loved it !

    As all reviews note some of these sites are crowded but our boat was definitely less crowded than many. Very efficient staff, lunch (including location) was great and 7 commandos beach at the end was a great end to the tour.

  • Good swimming and snorkeling

    There were 25 people on this tour - it felt a bit crowded on the boat. The locations were nice - swimming and snorkeling in lagoons and beach time. We had lunch on the boat and that felt even more crowded. Other than the amount of people being too many - it was enjoyable. Good for people who want ti swim and snorkel.

  • Good value tour with nice buffet lunch

    Full day island hopping close to El Nido. Our guides Bernard and Leo were fun to be with and safety conscious. The buffet lunch was better than expected and included grilled fish, crab and shrimp. Traditional boat, participants need to be fit and agile. There were 24 in our group which felt big for a small group tour. Overall good value for money.

  • Fantastic trip, excellent value

    It was a fantastic trip! Great value for the money. The tour guide Wendell was very friendly and explained everything well. Wendell and the other 3 crew members on the boat were quick to give us a helping hand when we had difficulties getting on or off the boat or getting to the shore. We were glad we wore our water shoes and swimming suites because we got totally wet many times, in a fun way.

  • You will get wet!

    Great excursion to the islands with tasty lunch and helpful crew. You will have to swim to and from boat with your belongings so get a dry bag from a vendor on shore.
