  • Lovely tour, nice lunch!

    Our guide Bernard was amazing! It was a bit hectic when you first arrive to the beach because so many people are waiting for tours but it only improved from there. He was a lovely guide. Great buffet lunch on a small island. Great snorkeling and overall experience. If we had more days, we would have gone with this same group again!

  • Overall good but beware..

    Overall it was good, but worth noting you have to swim to the boat at the very start of the day with water up to your shoulders. Plus, I get it’s a super cheap trip - hence they REALLY pack the boat. So please don’t expect any room at all.

    Despite high winds and fairly choppy waters we had an Amazing day exploring all the wonderful places in Group A island hopping tour. Our wonderful guide Duy from Seatours and his fantastic team made sure we were safe at all times while ensuring everyone got the best experience from their tour. Lunch was delicious served on a beautiful beach lined with coconut trees and beautiful white sand. Would definitely recommend this trip and a big thank you to the crew for their kindness and making our day such a great experience.

    Cannot recommend this tour. It was advertised as a small tour, but it was the biggest tour I have ever been on. The tour guide was fairly nice, but there was nothing to see—the sheer number of ships and their anchors around the islands has basically destroyed everything that once lived in the sea. The description did not match the activities we actually did, and there were additional extra fees. Two separate environmental fees were charged, even though it’s clear no one gives a flying f*** about the environment. Fun fact: you need an extra 200 PHP just to see the first lagoon, because swimming is not allowed and you are required to rent a kayak

  • Unforgettable Tour A in El Nido

    We had an amazing time on Tour A in El Nido! The service, food and stunning scenery left us in awe. Despite some choppy waters, the team made sure we were safe throughout. The islands were absolutely jaw dropping and we hope they remain as beautiful for years to come. A kayak rental on Big Island is definitely worth it being able to explore every nook and cranny was such a special experience. The tour team went above and beyond to ensure a memorable time and we really appreciated their commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommended!

  • Good but disorganised.

    Good varied tour that goes to five different places. Guides were great and lunch was delicious. However no toilet stops and lots of hidden costs which include: 600 pesos for environmental tax You have to rent snorkel and flippers (don’t need flippers) for 100 and 150 300 for a kayak Basically everything that would expect as part of tour was extra so be prepared. Finally check in is quite chaotic, we nearly got on the wrong trip as they didn’t explain anything on arrival and it started over an hour late. You should definitely do this trip when in El Nido but maybe shop around when you are there

    Five starts to Leo and his boat crew! They made our Christmas Day tour so enjoyable. The length of the tour was just right and the stops were planned out in a great order of offering different activities and stopping for lunch. We felt safe and comfortable the entire journey and greatly appreciated that vegan options were available to eat :)
