Overall we really enjoyed this experience. The views are fantastic and the water was calm. Our guide Ton was friendly and took lots of photos and videos of us on the water- No need to bring your phone. Facility has small lockers for your valuables. The transport from your hotel is included, they also provided bottled water and some fresh fruit when we finished our tour. We booked a 2 hour paddle board tour, but could only do about 70 minutes because it was low tide and the water was very shallow in some place. We went in the late moring around 11 am, so I recommend an afternoon time slot. We spoke to Ton who said we can come back later in the day or the next day. Unfortunately the weather didn't permit it. The paddle boards are a bit worn but functional. I recommend that you ask what the best time of day is for paddling when you confirm your booking, as this changes with the weather (amount of rain) and the season. Life jackets weren't offered but we didn't request them either.

Service: Excellent. The staff were welcoming, the food was delicious, the view was beautiful, and the room was clean. Just a small suggestion: the lighting in the room could be brighter.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers book relatively close to travel dates—on average about 2 days ahead—so you can be flexible when planning. Earliest planners lock things in up to one week out, and during the April–May peak months it helps to book sooner rather than later, especially for popular water activities. Klook booking data shows last-minute options remain available but peak months fill faster. Use Klook to compare experiences and secure specific time slots for boat trips or shows; booking a few days in advance often gives the right balance of choice and flexibility.
