    Above and beyond! These guys literally saved my drone (and my trip)!

    Trajon_S, Feb 2026
    I’ll be honest: communication was a bit shaky at first because I had a US number, and it took a few tries through my hotel front desk and WhatsApp to get everything synced up. We had to reschedule twice—once due to weather and once because I got sick—and I was worried about the lack of response the night before the trip. However, once the tour started, everything was absolutely perfect. The fishing in Palawan was fantastic, and the lunch with local fishermen was some of the best food I’ve had. My guides, James and Janill, were incredible. They were professional, helpful, and very kind. The highlight of their service came when I crashed my drone into a tree about 100 feet up a steep mountain on an island. I thought it was gone forever, but James and Janill insisted on climbing up to find it. They used the 'Find My Drone' feature on my phone, located it, and brought it back safely. They even went the extra mile to drop me off at right at the shore at Lio Beach at the end so I could meet my family before our flight. Yes, you might need your hotel's help to call them if you have a US number, but trust the process. These guys are hardworking, genuine, and will do whatever it takes to make sure you have a great time. I cannot recommend James and Jonel enough!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much for your honest and detailed review. We truly appreciate you sharing both the initial challenges and the highlights of your experience. We sincerely apologize for the communication difficulties at the beginning. International numbers can sometimes create connection issues, but we understand how stressful that can feel—especially the night before a scheduled tour. Thank you for your patience while we worked through the rescheduling due to weather and your illness. Your understanding means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear that once the tour began, everything exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the fishing experience in Palawan and the lunch with the local fishermen—those authentic moments are exactly what we hope our guests take home with them. James and Janill (and Jonel) will be especially happy to read your kind words. Going the extra mile—whether it’s climbing a steep mountain to rescue a drone or ensuring a timely drop-off so you could meet your family—is exactly the level of care and dedication we strive for. We’re incredibly proud to have them on our team. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Palawan for another adventure in the future!

    Mixed feelings. On one...

    Dmitri_R, Jan 2026
    Mixed feelings. On one hand, the trip itself was good, the boat crew was knowledgeable. On the other hand, there were no life jackets provided. At all. Just no such option available. That made the trip super stressing for my wife, who's not a swimmer and crossing deep water in a very small boat without the life jacket was a disaster for her. Once the tour operator finds a couple of life vests, the tour will be a real five-start experience.
