Great experience! Not only was I blown away by all the beautiful fish, I was also blown away with our amazing tour guide JC and our driver Carlos! They made sure everything ran smoothly, really engaged in conversations with us, made us laugh, and taught us about the area and the marine life. We came away with wonderful pictures, incredible memories, and two new friends!

Highly recommend… this was my most expensive excursion I booked while in the Philippines but you get what you pay for, as they say. Mark and Miel tag teamed as the driver and tour guide… Miel got us to and from safely in the crazy Manila traffic, while Mark kept the conversation going with Filipino history, highlights… along with a few tips and tricks to get around in Manila. You’ll be able to recognize Miel… he’s the better looking of the two. But honestly, nothing can describe the sheer beauty of area they’ll take you to… the crystal clear turquoise water, rainbow of colors of fish, not to mention the reef life. I’ll be coming back next year with my youngest son, and I’m going diving this time. If you’re on the fence, do it and ask for Mark and Miel you won’t regret it.

This was a last minute decision for a tour and turned out to be a “should’ve booked it” tour! Team was great with communications, updates and transfers back and forth. The fish were bountiful and had a great opportunity to see “Nemo” as well as swim with a large school of Jacks. I would recommend this tour to any one looking to get wet in the Philippines.

Such a fun experience! Saw tons of fish and beautiful coral. Miel was a great tour guide. The water is cold though!!

We booked the Anilao Snorkel Safari and were pleased with the experience. Our guide and driver fetched us from our Manila hotel and drove us to Anilao, ensuring we had adequate comfort and food stops. The snorkeling was fun and since it was a week day, it wasn't crowded.

Our tour guide "Andrei" was great !! We went to beautiful
area of the Philippines to Snorkel. We fed the fish and had them
feeding out of our hands. A lot of beautiful fish to see !! Thank
you for this great experience. Shannon Santos

Having so many beautiful fish so close to us was such a special experience we will never forget. Gerald was on time, friendly and very knowledgeable about other activities we could try in the greater Manila area. I would say this is a must do trip for anyone traveling to Manila that enjoys snorkeling and being on a boat. Thanks again Gerald. You’re awesome buddy!!!

Amazing sites with beautiful fish and coral, very helpful and friendly guides. Enjoyed the whole day, lots of time spent snorkeling freely, was able to explore and see a variety of sea creatures including turtles and octopus

This was a great experience! Well worth the money. Mark and Gerald and Rencly were great guides. I’ve been snorkeling in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, and New Zealand. This was one of the best! Amazing coral gardens, lots of fish. We even got to swim with a huge school of snapper! The whole trip was fantastic; thanks guys!

Our tour guide Gerald was amazing! He made sure we had everything we needed, even making special stops to buy extra supplies that we had forgotten to bring. This was a great way to get out of Manila for a day to explore - I would highly recommend!

We were in Manila for a basketball tournament and had one day available to do something fun and chose this! Price was reasonable compared to other excursions found online for similar activities. The van picks you up at your hotel and it’s air conditioned and comfortable. The resort to chill at for the first stop was super chill. There is food available and restroooms. The two spots you are brought to for snorkeling had amazing coral and lots of fun fish to see!! This was our first time in the Philippines and our first day in over a week to get out of city Manila and we LOVED IT! was just me and my 16 year old son and he had an amazing time! Mark the tour guide was helpful and fun and really went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. Mark also knows those angles to get a good photo! And shout out to Carl for driving us in the crazy 6pm Manila traffic to get us home. Trip in total was a little more than 10 hrs. It’s 2 hour drive each way and the scenery is nice. Highly recommend!!!!

The two snorkel locations were great and had a huge variety of coral and fish to observe. While it was on the high end of my price range as an individual, I think it was a good value and would highly recommend to anyone - especially at the price for 2+ people.

The coral reef was breathtaking, though the physical amenities of the area where the boat docked were lacking.
Joe_P, Nov 2019
The guides were great and the snorkeling fantastic. Lots of fish, some turtles, blue starfish and even an moray eel. Water was grate and the boat ride fun. The drive from Manila to the site was a long. BUT worth it as you get to see parts of the country one wouldn't see from a hotel room. The helpful boat guides and tour guides were in the water to assist and guide as well as attract fish. Three sites, lots of fish, great clear water. Go.

We had an awesome day with Paulo Ryan and Mark! They picked up our group of 3 from the hotel right on time and after about a 2 hour drive we arrived in Anilao where the boat was waiting for us. We went to 3 amazing snorkeling spots and explored some caves. The shallow reefs are absolutely gorgeous and teeming with sea life- we saw so many things that we have never seen before! (The clown fish are really fun to watch) The water was warm and calm and the clarity was virtually perfect! It was an amazing day, very relaxing. It was just our group of 3 for the day, Paulo and his crew took good care of us, and we got to explore at our own pace, honestly it felt more like a day hanging out with good friends, than a tour! After a shower and dry clothes we had a delicious family style lunch at the resort and then headed back to Manila arriving around 6:30pm. I can't say enough about how great this tour was, many thanks to Paulo, Ryan and Mark for an awesome day!

The snorkel trip was worth while. The entire trip was professional, timely and well planned out. When the weather was a bit poor for snorkeling the boat guides and our guides looked for a good place for us to swim and until they found a spot. The lunch was first class. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a nice day on the water, enjoying the day, swimming snorkeling and relaxing. Very professional.
