The tour spots were set-up perfectly, each stop had it's own beauty. The best part though was our tour guides, full of energy and provided great vibes. Excellent tour, I recommend to anyone visiting El Nido

DO NOT BOOK with LAGUM Adventure. Booked tour A and boat was broken down til nearly 11 am in harbor. After waiting and waiting for initially repairs then different boat I climbed off boat and went to shore letting them know I wanted to cancel with refund. Also had a more expensive fishing tour lined up with same company and was about to book private tour C with them as well. Refused to issue a refund under fair circumstances and so I cancelled everything. Not smart or fair people. Lost $500 to keep $89 - super goofy.

The sites are gorgeous. However the experience with the captain and tour guide was disastrous !
We met the coordinator of the tour on shore. He never warned us about rocks to get to the boat.
When embarking at the port onto the boat, the captain kept the boat very far back, we all had to float/ swim over rocks just to get to the boat and several people injured.
My husband and myself hit our feet against the rocks their knees against the ladder. When my husband told the guide why we we not told anything about rocks before taking people to the boat, instead of apologizing thĂŠ guide gave us an attitude snd completely checked out on us for the est of the tour. No more updates on where we stopped or anything.
They changed the boat we went on was old and the stairway short. So anytime we needed to hop on the boat, you either needed help or your knees get injured. Two people on the boat got wounded on their knees hopping back on the boat.
They changed the order of the itinerary, skipped stopping at payang beach ( which is supposed to be an hour snd a half stop).
Lunch was insufficient for a group of over 20 people on the boat !
The sites are gorgeous but there are better operators to go with.

Fantastic tour in El Nido! Albert, Ramon, and rest of crew were incredible. We really enjoyed our tour.
Shawn_N, Jan 2026
I think the crew are amazing. The congestion at each of the stops was like waiting for a ride at Disneyland, I think the last stop at the beach was unnecessary, crowded and extremely difficult for the boat to load & unload.
Tianja_S, Jan 2026
We did both A and B and I can confidently say that A as 1000 times better. Our guides were professional and all bout safety (which was the exact opposite of the guides we had for tour B who didn't hold the ladder for people entering and existing the boat and I sustained an injury).

You get what you pay for when it comes to tours. Spend the extra cash - go private tour if possible! Itâs a completely different experience.
The TOUR
Pros- itâs cheap
- friendly staff
Cons- long lines/wait times
- getting into that boat from the shore can be challenging- buy a dry bag your going to need one.
- lots of smoking on the boat from the crew members
- waiting to the secret beach is a long wait and while you are waiting waves crash into you. only one person can enter at a time it takes a long time- there are other groups there too.
- lunch was ok
- each stopped felt rushed because you spent so much time waiting to get to what you had to do.
We did Tour C private - BEST EXPERIENCE we ever had as a tour and finished 2 hours earlier. Wish we had done Tour A private if it was possible.
Beautiful island!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Holly,
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and weâre glad to hear you had an amazing experience on your private Tour Câand that you found it worth it.
We also understand your concerns about the shared/group tour experience, especially the long wait times, queues at Secret Beach, and feeling rushed due to crowding and travel time between stops. During peak periods, some locations naturally become congested, and we know this can affect the overall pacing of the tour.
Regarding your comments about smoking on the boat, we take this seriously. We will raise this directly with the crew and reinforce stricter rules to ensure a more comfortable experience for all guests. We also appreciate you mentioning practical tips like bringing a dry bag, especially for areas where waves can splash while waiting.
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to El Nidoânext time, weâd be happy to arrange private Tour A for a smoother, more relaxed experience. đ´â¨

Awesome experience helped by good weather and an enthusiastic local guide. Stunning day on the water with our guide more than happy to take videos and photos, including the best cringeworthy reels ever. The guide/captain tailored the day to accommodate timing and enjoyment, changing up the order of stops based on how busy each one was. We enjoyed snorkelling, squeezing through the rock gap for Secret Lagoon, swimming and exploring. Unfortunately didnât see any turtles but thatâs never guaranteed. Recommend bringing your own fins and snorkel; we were able to swim out further and see more because of the fins. The team were highly organised, fun and accommodating. This was the best of the two tours we did during our time in El Nido

This was a great tour! The service was awesome and they helped my mom get ina nd out of then boat, and the lunch was great! Awesome local food! And of course the islands were beautiful !!
Christopher_R, May 2025
Great Location and very nice view! You will be amaze with the mountain facing the hotel. Morning walk is a must!
Archie_L, Apr 2025
We had an amazing experience on El Nido Tour A with Albert and his crew! They were incredibly professional, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and cared for throughout the entire excursion. We visited five beautiful islands, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and they even helped take photos for us along the way. Albertâs warm hospitality and huge smile made the day extra special. Definitely a 5-star tour â highly recommended!
Piedad_P, Mar 2025
In general tour is good, Willy takes care of people, schedule was met and lunch is good. However, the boatâs driver looks like need more experience parking the boat at each stop.
Christopher_A, Feb 2025
Totally great value and experience with a great crew. They are totally focused on safety and ensuring you are having a great time. The food that was served for lunch was great and had a good variety. Overall a great tour and would definitely do it again.
Alanna_B, Feb 2025
We had a great day on the tour. The tour staff me.bers were very friendly and helpful. The places we saw were beautiful. There were many other boats and a lot of tourists so patience was helpful.
Antonio_C, Feb 2025
It so much worth to visit the natural beauty of El Nido islands. The guide were and boat crew were very nice and everything went as expected. The sequence of activities were even adjusted on sights to avoid cross in some areas and that really paid off. Water shoes and waterproof bad are a must. Snorkle not so much for this tour.
Azra_B, Jan 2025
The staff was amazing! They were incredibly accommodating to my elderly parents who couldnât do all the activities. It was a great day and so beautiful!
Don_M, Dec 2024
No snorkeling at the first beach but the information said kayak and snorkeling. Kayak rental was optional for a fee but if you didn't pay the fee, you couldn't leave the boat.
The third stop had everyone walking in the water, over large rocks, for over 50 feet. Quite dangerous!
Michael_R, Sep 2024
They boarded us on a nice double decker boat. Great customer service from the tour guides onboard the boat and safety were their most primary concerns. The view of the islands were amazing.
natalieromero2, May 2024
I had a great time on the tour and saw beautiful areas. My only wish is that we could have stayed in the areas a little longer; it seemed too short. Also I thought the lunch would be on a beach, but we are on the boat.
The tour guides were very nice and helpful too and the price was very reasonable for the tour.
Godiel_B, Mar 2024
Each island has its unique characteristics that make it one of the best places to visit. The snorkeling and kayaking was great.
KADIR_Y, Jan 2024
Big lagoon is amazing , no words to say that beauty , we enjoyed with kayaking . The meeting point were too crowded and you are heading to boat by walk through sea anyhow it was well organized . I recommend to have same waterproof bag for protection.
Thamer_B, Mar 2023
Stunning scenery and very joyful trip. The staff are friendly and easy to deal with. The lunch is good.
MATEUS_M, Feb 2026
This tour goes to several paradisiacal places, but I would like to exalt the Big Lagoon as it is the most beautiful place in the Philippines! I suggest taking a drone to take aerial images! Bring waterproof bag, as the boat does not leave the pier, and the tourist has to enter the sea to access the boat. If you can do a private tour!
