The trip was amazing, food was delicious, staff was friendly and helpful, sites where beautiful. The only thing we found missing was rental of snorkeling gear. Even though, there was no snorkeling gear for rent the guys managed to arrange some extra masks for us from a different boat.
We found the crew was amazing and very accommodating. We felt really cared for.
P. S. We will miss fried bananas
It was one of the most special things my husband and I have done. Thank you so much!! We will definitely return!!!
Trip went very well thanks!
We made some really nice stops along the way and camped overnight on an island just north of Linapacan. Food was very decent and crew was always very helpful.
Honestly, it was amazing. michael was really awesome and the whole crew was so accommodating and friendly. he even helped us get a tricycle to our airbnb after dropping us off at the dock. we have nothing but nice things to say about this experience.
The other night while setting up camp on the beach, a few other boats were doing the same and we made friends with a group of other travelers. at some point during the night, a crew member from another boat became inappropriate and aggressive towards a couple of the girls from our new friend group. michael and the crew handled the whole situation very professionally and made sure we were ok and all was settled before going to bed themselves. you’ll be glad to know this crew member is not part of your operation and we hope there are consequences for someone who behaves this way.
All in all, 10 out of 10 for us and we would do it again. it’s been the best part of our trip here in the philippines. thanks again for following up!
The boat tour was really nice, and eventhough conditions were not perfect (windy and some swell), everything went smoothly.
Snorkeling was really nice and the crew was perfect. We really enjoyed our time.
Thank you for everything.
The tour was amazing! The crew was great, the locations beautiful ! Everything was perfect 🙂 thanks for organising.
It was the best experience we had in the Philippines by far , so thank you again.
Review from Kate’s tour in October of 2023: We had an amazing time! Albert and the crew were so friendly and helpful. The food he made us was delicious!! We were amazed at what he could do on the little boat stove. We were really fortunate with perfect weather as well and got to enjoy all the beautiful stops. Thank you for organizing and putting it together. It was a very special holiday.
Hi, Do you guys run this tour during the period of September? Because of Tao doesn’t during that time.
yes we do, all year round.
Hi,
This is sofia from bangladesh. Me and my husband want to go phillipne in next june 2019. Can anyone help to make a tour plan. We want to stay their for 7 days and visit coron, El nido, cebu. Is it possible to visit all this place in 7 days. And also i want to do diving ,island hopping, zip lining. Plz give some suggestion and help us to make our trip plan.
Hello Sofia, you can check out my suggested travel itinerary for the Palawan area. 7 days might be enough for Palawan alone, but definitely not some far place like Cebu and I’d suggest you come back for that some other time. Tons to see in that area as well. Philippines is simply too big and spread out to see effectively in such a short time. There is tons of diving in Coron.
Hi SailorSam,
we exchanged a couple of emails before, but I cant find them… Can you please help me to book a boat from Coron Island to Sibaltan? I really can’t work out on here, is 3 days a 3 night or only 2 nights included in it? I want the boat to leave on the 19th April from coron to drop us off at Sibaltan on the 21st. 2 people private tour, we have ticked out the main attractions in Coron so what we want to see: the other deserted islands and private beaches(No Name Island, Araw Beach, Linapacan area, Deserted islands, CalaCala Island, Takling Island, Pical on Iloc Island which stands out). We would like to sleep with the natives for the two nights. Can you please come back to me with a price and send me an invoice/link where I can book you. TIA

Once I find a boatman for you, I will send you a request to make a deposit to reserve the boat, with more information (examples of the sizes of boats and much more information). Once you make the deposit I will then send you the final information, which includes the contact details to the boatman.

Hello
What i don’t understand is, if we make a private tour, is there someone on the boat to drive it?
We can’t drive a boat.
Thanks
Ilkay Conde
no boatman will let you drive their boat, and it is probably illegal. each boat always has a crew of at least 4 people to help steer it with long bamboo poles and throwing out anchors etc. Not to mention they cook for you 🙂

Dear Sirs,
I am a solo traveler (32 years, male, from Italy) and currently I am visiting Philippines.
Is it with much interest that I read about you tours in Linapacan. I would be very interested in the tour of 3nights/4days starting from El Nido and up to Coron.
Could you please inform me if you are organizing such a tour starting from 4th January ? And if so, is it possible to add myself to the group and share the costs ?
Look forward for your kind reply.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Best regards,
Sorin

Hello,
Me and my girlfriend have a trip planned to the Philippines in January and are staying in Sibaltan from the 20th to the 23rd of Jan. We have been thinking about doing a boat trip to Coron after this and we would like to know what the options are for a 3 day 2 night trip starting the afternoon of the 23rd from Sibaltan. We are open to having other people join but would like it to not be a large group at all.
Best,
Jesse
