Unforgettable experience you have to book!

We had an amazing time island hopping and exploring the stunning crystal blue waters of Palawan. We chose small group Tour A and there was plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the sea breeze. The lunch was delicious and beautifully prepared. The crew was kind knowledgeable and took some of the best videos and photos of our time together. I highly recommend you book this tour when your in El Nido!

Nice day-experience from El Nido with a variety of activities!!

This was a very enjoyable day trip out of El Nido. The staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. Thanks to Regie and all of his crew. The boat was a nice size and very comfortable ( we had around 26 passengers). The excursion offers a nice variety of activities, including swimming in the Secret Lagoon, snorkeling at at least one location, a beautiful 1-hour kayak ride surrounded by limestone formations, a nice lunch on the beach, and, to finish things out, beers (for purchase) and beach volleyball on picturesque 7- Commando Beach. Well done!!!!

Good day on the water.

We booked this tour to include pick-up at our hotel but the day before, when we checked the time we were to be collected, we were told there we were not being picked-up. If we had not checked we'd have been waiting in vain at our hotel as that was the meeting point on all our correspondence! Other than that the tour was good and the staff were all very helpful and friendly with the stops and lunch all good.

This was our favorite tour, the stops were beautiful but also the staff were amazing. It was very well organized, everything went as planned, and the boat crew including our guide Brian, was very helpful and friendly. We had great fun on this tour:)

Good trip

A good tour, excellent crew. If I had to choose between Tour A and Tour C I would go for Tour C. Tour A felt like repeating the same process each time we arrived at a similar looking bay/island.

As all reviews note some...

As all reviews note some of these sites are crowded but our boat was definitely less crowded than many. Very efficient staff, lunch (including location) was great and 7 commandos beach at the end was a great end to the tour.

Good swimming and snorkeling

There were 25 people on this tour - it felt a bit crowded on the boat. The locations were nice - swimming and snorkeling in lagoons and beach time. We had lunch on the boat and that felt even more crowded. Other than the amount of people being too many - it was enjoyable. Good for people who want ti swim and snorkel.
