To be fair, the crew did their best to ensure we still had a pleasant day, and we thank them for that.
At the end of the first day, we were dropped off at a campsite that was not the one we had booked. The campsite we had reserved was described as “quiet” in Karel’s brochure, whereas the one we were taken to was clearly intended for groups of young partygoers — something the owner herself confirmed, as she was surprised to see us there.
After several exchanges with Karel, he managed to find us another accommodation the following day, which was great, but asked us to pay an extra charge, using questionable calculations and deducting the missing equipment. No commercial gesture was made.
The next day, a larger boat came to pick us up. It was closer to what we had paid for, but once again, more than half of the equipment we had paid for was missing.
In response to these issues, Karel justified the situation by saying he had been overwhelmed by too many bookings during that period. This is simply unacceptable given the amount we paid (several thousand euros), believing we would be spending a pleasant family holiday.
Additionally, certain “details” were questionable. For example, you are required to pay for the rental of a kayak, which is necessary for all movements (reaching the shore, transporting luggage, food, etc.). What happens if you do not wish to rent one?
Thank you for all the crew members for all the memories but for a private boat, go with another company
1. We provided dietary restrictions ahead of time and confirmed with them at least once prior to the day of the tour, but they weren’t prepared for a vegan lunch. We had some rice noodles and fruit but it wasn’t a very complete meal that we would have expected given that it was quite an expensive private, tailored experience.
2. Similarly with the snorkeling equipment. We requested and paid extra for snorkeling equipment. However, the boat only had 2 broken masks and no snorkels or fins. Had we known, we would have rented equipment ourselves and brought it. Again, given that we specifically requested an itinerary with snorkeling sites and paid for the rental of equipment, we believe this should have been handled better. Since we didn’t have proper equipment, we didn’t really get to experience any good snorkeling spots which we were really looking forward to since El Nido is known for this
We enjoyed the day but overall are disappointed that the expense of a private tailored tour was really not worthwhile. There were other less expensive group tours that we could have done and had a better experience with better prepared operators.
Good recommandation for the overnight stay.
The crew was very helpful
and they prepared very nice meals for us.
Strongly recommended
I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a special engagement in beautiful El Nido!!
Melasel arranged everything for me and had so many great suggestions and knowledge of how to make this a magical day! I was super worried because it is difficult to arrange such an important event when you live on the other side of the world! But Mel was amazing and understood exactly what I wanted! And went out of her way to accommodate all my requests!
She even had a clever story to tell my girlfriend to cover the photographer being with us all day!
On the day the weather was very rainy with many showers. Mel and Rene were in constant contact with me with plan B and even contacted our hotel to discuss options of hosting the proposal there. Completely above and beyond what I paid for.
Luckily in the end the weather gave us a small window and Mel set everything up beautifully on a sand bar floating in the middle of crystal clear waters surrounded by limestone islands with stunning rocky formations.
Island Hopping in the Philippines somehow peered into my brain and delivered a perfect replica of the proposal I had in my head.
It was simply perfect down to the smallest detail! Thank you so much, I cannot recommend you guys enough!!
As most of people usually feel, once your money has been transferred out to someone you do not know, you probably frustrated that your money would not be able to be refunded.
But not in my experience. I dont need to be worry, the owner refunded me the money he has received (minus the bank fees). He promised to refund me and he did it. It was around 18.700 Pesos.
So, eventhough i didn't manage to go with the tour, but i am really satisfied with their legitimate and great business practice. Hopefully, people will try their services and not worry about their legit business!
Thanks a lot!
First of all the booking part was really simple. I organized this trip to the Philippines last minute for my family (my parents and my uncles) but Karel answered all my questions very quickly and really made everything easier for me. It was an incredible experience. Albert, our tour leader, is a wonderful guy, always smiling and ready to help us. They assisted us in everything and really took care of making everything go smoothly. The accommodation on the islands is as spartan as you expect but the location of each hut alone is worth the trip. The wonder of nature was then added to the goodness of cuisine. It's really difficult to argue how you can cook all that goodness on a boat.
If you are looking for an authentic experience, in contact with nature, off the beaten track, this company's private expedition is certainly for you.
Super ultimate tour is the best with Kayangan and barracuda lake, twin lagoons (my favorite), coral garden (blue fabulous coral) were the best. It’s really worth it to pay for private tour (3500 to 4000 PHP). You will also have to pay for entrance fees (150 to 200PHP by location) and eventually shopping at the market - must do (count 300 for 2 for fish, pork, fruits and vegetables, water).
Based on the comments, I contacted Mel.
Very responsive, very efficient and perfect organization.
The on-board staff were very friendly and very helpful.
And I'm not even talking about the meal on board...a marvel.
In all fairness, this excursion will remain an excellent memory and I cannot recommend Mel and his team highly enough.
A big thank-you.
If you love camping this is definitely a tout you should do, it has been the highlight of our trip!!
