Had a great day with our guide and crew-Jeffry, Jamal, Lester and Captain Jason. Jeffry was very attentive and super helpful. The lunch on the beach was awesome! Would recommend this crew to anyone.😁😁😁😁😁

Worthwhile tour.

Janice_J, Jul 2026

This tour was quite the adventure. We’d anticipated rain but the weather was beautiful which enhanced our overall experience. We didn’t feel rushed, we felt safe, relaxed, and everyone was very hospitable. I highly recommend this tour as it covers enough islands to satisfy your island curiosity. Kuddos to Jeff our tour guide and Nan our photographer for an outstanding tour. Thank you from the Perez and Powell family.

Wonderful experience

El Nido island hopping experience

Lorna_B, Dec 2025

The crew is very good but the food is not. We were expecting to have a picnic like lunch by the beach but what we had was a COLD flattened packed lunch and a SPOILED watermelon for dessert. The crew told us that we’ll have zero sugar soda (my husband and I are diabetics) per my request on our first day (tour A) but we had the same original one like the first day (We did both A and C with the same tour provider). If only we knew beforehand that drinks won’t be cold, we could’ve bought an icebox and bring ice ourselves What’s very sad and disappointing is the snorkeling experience. We did it twice (in tour A and C), there are no more live corals and the fishes are not as much. What happened to our nature? We were there just 10 years ago and it was fantastic - the ocean is full of live corals and different colors of fishes. The whole experience is so DISAPPOINTING .

Fun, laughter and memories in the rain

Francesca_W, Apr 2025

Such a fun experience, it thundered most of the day and if anything that added to our fun as we all laughed so much! Having already spent the day with the crew the day before I felt like we were old friends by this point. The captain was so steady with the boat and shows his skill as I have been on bigger boats in rough seas that haven’t handled so well, he was always adjusting and steering and watching. The storm kicked up a lot of plankton so they kept me safe at me beach by asking me to wait until it cleared so I didn’t get stung. Swimming in the sea with lightening and laughing as the rain battered will remain core memories for me and so much fun! Manuel as guide was very attentive and most kind considering that for him it was very cold (me being English still finding it positively tropical). I’m only removing one star as unfortunately I was violently sick for the rest of the day. I only ate bread in the morning and food from the boat so sadly I lean towards that as the pharmacy told me food poisoning, however as I ate food the day with no issue I think maybe bad luck something just on this day, maybe not with preparation but storm humidity or rain water - I’m still inclined to think it was a one off but for fellow travellers I’d just advise on stormy or very humid days maybe take additional water and steer more towards eating fruits. 24 hours later and I’m nearly ok again so no problem. As you can see I’m still giving 4 stars and I would still use this team again, honestly I had the best day!

Excellent

Nicky_G, Jan 2024

We were unfortunate that we needed to switch the tour from C to A because of weather. Nonetheless, our guides were ready to make sure we saw everything in the most efficient way with the fewest other guests from other groups. Edwin, our guide, and his team really worked so hard to make a windy/choppy day much more fun (which it was). We got great views, laughs, and the food was really tasty. Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip to see El Nido!

Christopher_L, Nov 2023

Absolutely loved this tour. The Boat and the crew were awesome! The beaches and views were breathtaking.

Highly recommend

David_L, Nov 2023

Great group of guys. Very helpful. The boat and everything were in great shape. I would definately go with these guys again.

Un experiencia buen pero prescindible

CAROLINA_P, Feb 2024

El tour es mucho más caro que tomarlo en el lugar o en el hotel (+30%) la atención y el servicio de la tripulación es buena y amable pero no se respetó la ruta ni el itinerario.
