Gigantes Islands Hopping from Iloilo (Private and Joiner)

Excellent service. From the shuttle service to the tour, we were very well taken care of. Plenty of food was available during lunchtime. Since I was a joiner and traveling alone, I barely needed to use the tripod I brought because the guides themselves would take pictures for me. It was also memorable for me since it was my first time island hopping, and it was my birthday, haha (just sharing). Besides that, my companions were super kind, especially the seniors, and the crew and our tour guide (Tony?). Thank you, and until next time.

this tour was facilitated by Gigantes Islands travel and tours. the boatmen assigned to us were all nice especially kuya Gerald of Mark 3 boat. he was funny and very accomodating, he keeps asking us if we are okay and if we want to have our photos taken. the tour started from 8:30am and we got back by 4:30pm. we were able to visit the 7 islands stated in the itinerary. the tour also comes with free lunch with unlimited scallops. the lunch was so good! the tour itself is very nice and we’re glad we availed from them! highly recommended!

As a first-time solo traveler in Isla Gigantes, I can say that the people are warm and welcoming. 🤍 Seeing the crystal-clear waters in person made everything worth it—the long travel, the waiting, everything. Truly an unforgettable experience. Thank youuu 🌊✨

The tour guide is very helpful and polite…very accomodating and willing to take you a good pics…overall the experience was fun and memorable…the travel is just exhausting and quite long…

We were able to complete the itinerary, so that's perfect. Everything went smoothly, also because the weather was good. Shout out to our tour guide Kuya Patrick who was very patient in taking our photos. Also to our driver and crew of our boat "Junathan" 😂. The beaches are super clean and we enjoyed swimming! Tip to joiners: Don't choose to ride in front rows of the boat if you dont want to get wet during travel between islands 😂

safety: POLROWEN team is amazing, our Captain (Sorry, I forgot your name Sir) and JP our tour guide did such a great team effort. Mostly for those gravity waves we’ve encountered. The Captain feels us safe and amazed on how he gently controls the approach in avoiding abrupt movements in maintaining stability, safety and accuracy during our ride. And for Jp, the friendly tour guide, thank you so much for all your kindness. A hopsitbke and passionate tour guide who simply has the joy of sharing knowledge, love interacting and connecting with guests. We enjoyed riding with POLROWEN. Gigantes Islands are beautiful eventhough weve only visited 3 places but still we were amazed and treasures our experience. Only my suggestion is the port restaurant timing. After the boat ride we are starving and looking for a light meal but sadly the only open was the sari sari stores. Thank you Gigantes Islands Tour

All the islands we visited were beautiful, even the boat we used. The tour guide was also great at taking pictures. My only concern is the safety of the van transfer; the driver was going so fast it felt like a rollercoaster, haha.

The island hopping is definitely worth it. The tour team contacted us a day before to confirm the details of our tour and to provide reminders. During tour day, were picked up from our hotel on time. Luckily, the shuttle wasn't full so it was comfortable. The islands are really beautiful but manage your expectations. Some of then do not have sari-sari stores and comfort rooms/toilets. Make sure to bring your own water and snacks.

If you are planning to take this tour, make sure to alot 1 day of your stay in Iloilo as you will leave very early and come home late in the evening. We availed the shuttle service and Kuya was kind and a good driver. It was a 3-hour drive that gets very dark at night and Kuya drove safely. After that, at Bancal port to eat simple breakfast and change clothes (where you’ll also change and shower after the tour). Left the port riding the boat with life vest. Our tour guide was Kuya Gerald who took awesome pics and made sure we have enough time to take photos and enjoy each island. During lunch, he made sure food was ready before we get off the boat. Food was okay, we bought fruit shakes and scallop and squid chicharon. On Cabugao Gamay island, tourists tend to pile up and he made sure we will be able to get our shot as this is the iconic place and also in Tanke saltwater lake. Also the other kuya will assist you going up and down the boat. Overall good, must try and experience!

This tour was amazing! Kudos to the operator for organizing everything from the pick up, island hopping, lunch and the drop to our hotel. It was a spontaneous activity for us and we enjoyed it. Don't forget to buy the dried scallops chicharon thingy from the lunch place. I'm not sure if it's available on the market. Super crunchy and yummy. My son loves it. Kuya Dindo our tour guide was great, very helpful, funny and would take and direct your pictures. This tour is highly recommended!
