A good day with visits to 3 islands - There was only one participant in this tour, which was me! I was able to enjoy this privileged trip to the fullest with one guide (driver) and 3 boatmen. What else could you expect with 1-4 tour? In addition, lunch provided by the tour operator was the most delicious meal I had ever had in the Philippines. The cooked seafood was prepared by the mother of the company owner. Thanks for the homemade Philippine food! I loved it.

Great experience! I was chicken at first haha. Will definitely do again - This was sooooo good! It was great value for money! The seafood lunch was great too!! I felt like I was in a travel commercial lol.i t was only me and my friend on the boat so they adjusted the time on each island to suit us. I would definitely do this again! Tip: Take some cash so u can buy drinks & park access on the islands.

The excursion was... - The excursion was relaxing and beautiful! As advertised, the tour went to three islands. We left the itinerary flexible, focusing more on beach time than snorkeling time. We travelled with our son who is almost three, so the flexibility was great. The lunch on board the boat exceeded expectations. If you’re looking for a quiet tour at your own pace, filled with the beauty of the open seas and small and quaint beaches, this is for you.

Raw & Awesome - No gimmicks, just straight fun to perhaps the best underwater snorkeling visuals I have ever seen, who knew snorkeling in the Philippines was do good, I didn't. First off, my driver/guide was Simar, a great guy. Took me to the boat, three people working the boat took me to the first island, handed me my mask/snorkeling and I jumped in. Wow, the most fish ever surrounded me including big green beautiful Parrotfish. Snorkeling at the second island was just a wonderful. The third island is white sandy beach and relax before lunch. It was a great day. This tour is not fancy, the boat is not modern, in fact a piece of the bamboo support came loose during a wavy ride back but all was good, just seemed all like the Philippino way; raw but fun.

Mactan Island hopping - The experience of swimming schools of fish is amazing and highly recommended. Also, my driver, Angelo, and the boat crew were all very nice and helpful.

Refreshing Snorkeling Dive - The snorkeling was definitely the best part. Our guide kept throwing rice in the water to attract more fish. I saw a green sea turtle on the ride to the next island as well.

Nice places - unpleasant crew - The spots you visit were nice, especially the last island. But unfortunately the tourguides and the boat crew are not friendly at all. You dont feel very welcomed and they just try to rush you through the tour. It was written that youd be on the boat for 6 hours, it were like 4-4,5h. The nature is great but the people really could do a better job. The vibe was quite unpleasant so that I can recommend going there but maybe with another tour.

Unfortunately a disappointment - As someone already said, I wish I have done better job at reading all of the reviews before booking and not just relying on this company being number one in the area. Few things were an unpleasant surprise. Firstly, booked this as a solo traveller. The cost is significant for what it was. First shock was finding a boat to be huge for carrying just one customer. I shared same boat with 20 other people on other tours. It was very loud and went extremely slow. When I asked why was the boat running so slow, the answer was it was running on one engine. I imagine to save fuel costs. It was painful. For islands so close it took half hour to make it to each. This is my week three in various areas of Philippines and those boats go much much faster usually. A second big disappointment was learning on arrival that tide was very low. This meant lesser quality of experience at each of the three stops. First one, had significant sea grass floating on the surface of the water, and despite having a lot of fish to see, having grass stuck in your face, body and hair was terrible. Second stop had absolutely nothing to do but snorkel close to the end of jetty in a very small and shallow fenced off area. Great for children and people with little experience, but was a bit of a waste for me. I was happy to move on. A third stop could have been skipped all together. I was not going to purchase sea food, nor could I swim there at all, as tide was still super low. So after sitting in the heat for half hour I was glad to head back to shore. Being private tour, with no time restrictions on my end, I would have expected an experienced tour operator to suggest later departure in alignment with tide times, to ensure a better client experience. But no one cares. Additionally, contracting a more compact boat for small groups is a better environmental choice, and would prevent wasting a lot of time on crawling your way to the islands. I had very little interaction with my guide after the first few minutes. He largely left me to fend for myself while he sat in the back of the boat with the crew. The crew did not engage at all. Having done other private tours in this country, this one was by far most awkward. Please take time to consider your choices.
