  • As all reviews note some...

    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.

  • Fun Island Hopping Tour with Great Scenery

    Great scenery and yummy lunch. The areas you visit are crowded (because they are so beautiful). This is not the fault of the tour company - this is just how island hopping tours are in El Nido. I would highly recommend this tour. It is a great value for the price and the sights are awesome. Bring money for snacks and drinks on Commando Beach and to rent a kayak. (All are very reasonable!!)

    The tour very good! He says it's small group, but it's really 15 people! Bryan the guide was very attentive and took us to the best places when there were not so many people

  • 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..

    james b,Jan 26, 2026

    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.
