Lio Beach tours

Our tour guide Grace and driver Julius provided an unforgettable tour experience for us, catering for inclusivity for my 77-year-old mother, who was able to access the hiking to and from Bulalakaw Falls. The entire tour was exceptional as we got to experience both the tourist attractions that El Nido had to offer but also explore the surroundings and everyday lives of the locals in Palawan via the Bucana village. Grace was a fantastic tour guide who really made the day. Apart from the initial hike, it’s a change of pace to the boat tours but it gives you an authentic look at life in El Nido - and gave me some ideas of where I might stay in the future too!

We had a nice time in Lio and Nacpan beach, I met new friends and the crowd was so nice! A great El Nido experience! The farm is not really a farm setting, just to set the expectation of those who will be joining but the food is delicious. Thank you!

I recently booked a 3D2N tour package that included transfers from Puerto Princesa to El Nido, and overall, it was a well-organized and enjoyable experience. Here’s a breakdown of my thoughts: Convenient Transfer: The transfer from Puerto Princesa to El Nido was seamless and hassle-free. The driver was punctual, and the vehicle was comfortable, making the long journey quite pleasant. It was a great way to transition between the two destinations without having to worry about logistics. Well-Scheduled Itinerary: The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to experience the highlights of both Puerto Princesa and El Nido. In Puerto Princesa, we had enough time to explore the Underground River, which was breathtaking. In El Nido, Tour A was included in the package, and it did not disappoint—the lagoons and beaches were stunning. To make the most of our time, we also booked Tour C for the following day, which was absolutely worth it. The additional tour allowed us to see more of El Nido’s beauty, including hidden beaches and snorkeling spots. Communication Issues: One downside was the lack of communication before the trip. The contact number provided was outdated, which made it impossible to reach out with questions or coordinate details in advance. We only received a text from the tour operator the night before the trip, which caused some anxiety, especially for someone like me who likes to plan ahead and know all the details beforehand. Improved communication would have made the experience much smoother. Overall Recommendation: Despite the communication hiccup, I would still recommend this tour package. The transfers were convenient, the itinerary was well-planned, and the tours themselves were unforgettable. Just be prepared to wait until the last minute for confirmation and details. If you’re flexible and don’t mind a bit of uncertainty, this package is a great way to explore Puerto Princesa and El Nido without the stress of planning everything yourself.

Ivan and his Crew were amazing. very friendly, yet professional. With high energy and positive attitude. They were all fabulous! The destinations were great and we didn't feel rushed. The lunch buffet was also great too. I will definitely recommend Happy Tours to anyone who wants to have a great day out with such an amazing group of staff. A+

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 package included lunch, and breakfast was a simple bread and Sprite. I especially loved the barbecue on the boat. I booked this boat specifically after seeing a blogger's barbecue, which saved me the trouble of asking around once I got there. The communication before departure was very smooth, and our guide on the day was excellent. They started grilling the barbecue on the way to Balicasag Island, haha, it smelled so good! My boyfriend and I both love Filipino grilled pork and chicken. There weren't many people on our boat that day, just six of us, so the experience was great. However, sometimes there might be more people, as I've seen larger boats too. We didn't rent a GoPro, but the guide recorded videos and took photos for us for free. These were taken when we went diving again after returning from Balicasag. I can't swim, but I fell in love with snorkeling and even fed the fish. Oh, and we saw many dolphins and lots of sea turtles, as well as sea snakes. The experience was fantastic! Since I love barbecue so much, I spontaneously decided to write a good review. It seems many local tours don't include lunch, so it's a good idea to confirm that in advance. This is for everyone's reference.

We had an amazing countryside tour in Bohol with our driver, Manuel, and I highly recommend him! Manuel was incredibly informative, patient, & attentive throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts about each destination. Our adventure started at the breathtaking Chocolate Hills, where the kids had an absolute blast riding the ATVs—it was definitely one of the highlights of the day! We then visited the Tarsier Sanctuary, which is a must-see when in Bohol. We made a quick stop at the beautiful Man-Made Forest for photos before heading to the Loboc River Cruise. Lunch on the Loboc River Cruise was fantastic. The food was delicious, the riverside scenery was stunning, and the live entertainment from the singers and dancers made the experience even more memorable. We ended the tour with visits to the historic Blood Compact Shrine and the beautiful Baclayon Church, the oldest church in Bohol. Thank you, Manuel, for making our trip so enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour!! The organization, the guidance, the photography.. everything is perfect. No time pressure.. You are allowed to stay anywhere for as long as you want.. The price is not cheap for a private tour, but it is worth every peso... Thank you Happiness for a perfect tour!!
