Great place to visit but tour not well organized.

Masha_M, Mar 2026

The experience ocerall is nice and Balabac is an amazing place. However the camp where we were accomodated is quite bad, the food also is very, very basic and not diverse. I've been to other exoeditions (El Nido-Coron) where both accomodation and food were much better. We also had the worst tour guide that I've ever seen. He was not even a guide, not giving us any information about how long we are staying at certain place etc. Once we came to a beach full of sand flies. He knew that but didnt mention anything to us. Later, I found out from another group that thier guide told them to put the repellent on before coming to that beach. As a result, I had more than 50 bites of sand flies.

Balabac tour

Babette_S, Feb 2026

We did the 4-day, 3-night Balabac tour with very high expectations, but unfortunately the experience was quite mixed. We had carefully chosen our original dates after checking the weather forecast in advance. However, the tour operator informed us that the minimum number of participants had not been reached for those dates and moved our booking. Since we were already in the Philippines with internal flights and a fixed itinerary, we had little choice but to accept the new dates if we wanted to do the tour. We clearly expressed our concerns to the tour coordinator. Out of three full days, two were absolutely beautiful: stunning locations, crystal-clear water, and breathtaking nature. Unfortunately, on the last day it rained heavily all day — exactly as I had anticipated based on the forecast. This is why I had repeatedly asked about the weather conditions and, most importantly, clearly stated that it was essential for me to return on the 26th because I had an international flight on the 27th. I have written messages where I explicitly mentioned this. Despite that, the coordinator later told my friend that I had never said anything about it. I find this lack of communication and accountability extremely unprofessional. Another negative point concerns the transfer. The driver contacted us and said he would pick us up at 2:30 AM. I asked several times to confirm the time, and he reassured me it was correct. In the end, he arrived after 3:00 AM, leaving us waiting for over 30 minutes in the middle of the night. Not the best way to start the tour. That said, I want to be fair: the local guides, the boat crew, and the staff at the village where we stayed were absolutely exceptional. They were kind, helpful, professional, and always smiling. They truly made a difference and did their best to make the experience enjoyable. In summary: Balabac is incredibly beautiful and definitely worth visiting. However, the organization and communication from the tour coordinator were very disappointing. Zero points for management and coordination, but top marks for the on-site staff.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi Babette, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience felt mixed and that communication didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding the transfer: our policy states pick-up is between 3:00–4:00 AM, or earlier if advised by our transport team. Pick-ups are done within a one-hour window as drivers collect multiple guests, and exact times can shift due to guest readiness at different accommodations . That said, we understand waiting at night is uncomfortable, and we’ll work to improve real-time updates so guests feel informed. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guides, boat crew, and village staff.
