Professionalism, courtesy and class all the way. Jul and RJ made this an unforgettable experience. They know all the best spots when they’re not crowded, help with everything and know how to take the best pictures. Highly recommend them

Had a great experience....

Constance_K, Jun 2026

Had a great experience. Family of 5 who could choose however long we wanted to stay at each location. Staff very friendly and let us enjoy the scenes at our own pace. Only comment is we waited a while for our pickup at 8:30 but very minor compared to the wonderful day we had.

Excellent tour with Norly and boat crew

Sampaguita_F, May 2026

Private tour is the way to go! Our tour guide Norly and the crew; Rico, Jake plus one other member were outstanding. We were able to cater our tour to how much or little time we spent at each location. For the most part, we avoided large groups. Norly also worked as our camera man, he’s a wizard with an iPhone! Side note, my daughter cut her foot on jagged rocks. Norly swiftly tended to her to prevent further injury. Overall a wonderful experience with incredible photos.

Unforgettable day!

A great way to spend time on the water near El needle

AnthonyIan_B, Jan 2026

I gave this a five star rating because the scenery was wonderful. The grotto‘s were amazing and breathtaking and the beaches were beautiful. Could’ve been a four star, but that would’ve been because the windy day that made for some rough seas and mechanical problems but the captain was skilled and got us there and back safely. Our guide Alton was attentive and informative and fed us a wonderful lunch on the beach. This is just the right amount of sightseeing and relaxation on beaches and in the water.

The island hopping

maria_G, Jan 2026

The boat crew andnour tour guide were really great. The boat captain -Oliver was amazing. and made sure of our safety. Our tour guide Darrel was very helpful in keeping everyone safe and was knowledgeable of the different islands as well as a good photographer. We enjoyed our boat crew. The food that was serve was very ordinary and cold. the company should have provided with a better one with the amount of money we paid for the tour.

Awesome

Adam_L, Jan 2026

Awesome day. The snorkeling was incredible. Swam with a school of 300-400 fish in the reef. Unforgettable. Great day

Professionalism, courtesy and class all the way

Beautiful tour with...

Kristi_S, Mar 2025

Beautiful tour with unreal destinations. We truly enjoyed booking private as we weren’t waiting a ton of people to move on to the next stop. Everything was based on our preferences, great crew and guide!

Do not use Viator to book

Kyla_R, Apr 2024

The tour to the island and its operator was great but do not use this company or Viator to book. They changed their rates and told us we needed to pay for our transfer, it was printed on our paperwork as 1900php but they said it was 2500php when we got there. When we showed them the paperwork they left us stranded in El Nido, luckily the local transfer rate was only 1000php and we had no trouble hiring a tricycle on the street.

Marc et son équipe étaient au top ! Grâce à eux, nous avions passé la meilleure excursion aux Philippines. Le tour privé ça change tout et 1000 merci à eux vraiment.
