splendid experience. given the crowds at each destination, it comes as no suprise that I preferred the coron ultimate tour (far more peaceful to take the sights in) but it goes without saying these factors are out of the control of this tour agency. For the factors in their control, I was pleased by the competency of the crew on board and agreeable schedule, constantly relayed to us throughout. highly personable and social experience made possible only by the kindest, fittest and highly generous crew members. thank you to albino and co for their hospitality and care to make it the best experience possible for us. retired captain Mike was bursting with fascinating stories too about his near death experiences in his career (fortunately none on these tourist tours). the highlight for me was kayaking in a 2 seater with another solo traveller Hakim from Bangladesh. especially lucky to have caught sight of the Palawan hornbill at the big lagoon. many friends made and stories to tell.

Tour A in El Nido was such an amazing experience! The destinations were absolutely beautiful, and every stop felt like a dream, especially the Big Lagoon. The crystal-clear water and towering limestone cliffs made it one of the most unforgettable places we’ve ever seen. What really stood out were the tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and explained each location clearly, which made us appreciate the places even more. Their communication was excellent, making everything smooth, organized, and easy to follow throughout the day. Overall, Tour A is a must-do in El Nido. The combination of breathtaking spots and professional, friendly guides made the whole experience truly memorable 🌊✨

Driver picked us up promptly and got us to the drop off point on time. Whole crew on the boat were excellent our tour guide, boat crew, and captain were all eager to help and put together a fantastic day. We were given adequate time at each stop and they all offered to help take pictures for each of us. The tour itself was remarkable. Each destination was amazing and the water was warm and crystal clear, with a free tint. I’d def recommend to anyone!!!

Staff was very helpful and communicated with us both before the trip as well as after the trip to follow up. Our tour guides were amazing kuyas who were so friendly and informative! Kuya Alvin and the crew deserve a ton of praise. They made sure everyone was safe and had a good time. Lunch was delicious! We enjoyed our meal (included crabs) with a view. The tour itself took us to some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Fave was kayaking the big lagoon. Unreal. Not to be missed! Also — be sure to tip your guides. These tours, even with the added fees, are inexpensive compared to other parts of the world… and the guides work so hard to make sure everything goes smoothly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting El Nido!
