I went with a couple of friends and my partner. We enjoyed and had a lot of fun. Is a really good option if you need some adventure and contact with nature. Gener is an excellent guide, and he cooked sooo good! He does everything you need and want. The trip around the river was really beautifull, you can really... More

A great experience. Beginning with a short jungle hike to the river, followed by a peaceful paddle down a beautiful river on a locally made bamboo raft, until a break for a 5 star lunch made by Gener, who runs the expeditions. More paddling to our rustic night stop. A lovely welcome by Ador, on whose farm we stayed, and... More

My wife and I had an unforgettible tour with Gener and his crew in November 2011. He picked us up in Sabang (underground river), then we had a short drive to the starting point of the jungle hike. It was quite slippery but we saw a flying squirrel. Gener was very excited, because they are usually hardly visible. The tour... More

My fiance and I joined Gener on a REAL boat trip up the babuyan river. It was amazing! The area itself was so quiet and perfectly rural, not to mention the crystal clear and sometimes turbulent currents. Using man power and laughter alone, in our traditionally crafted canoe, we made our way to a rest-stop for some much needed food.... More

Me and my wife taken out a 3 day 2 night tour exploring Palawan off the beaten track. If you are seeking adventure, and away from the tourists hot spots then this is a must. Our host Gener from Palawan has a vast knowledge of its ecosystem and is a fine cook. The tour involves hiking through the jungle, Bamboo... More

Our family has really enjoyed this sailboat trip on Honda Bay, in fact we have done it twice. The big boys enjoy the thrill of sailing, our smaller son rides with me in the accompanying outrigger boat. It's a great way to see the lovely Honda Bay, and a great bonus is the wonderful lunch cooked on one of the... More

We were very lucky to come across Gener who took us on a guided trip. He is so knowledgable and I was truly inspired by him! He has travelled quite extensively so is quite worldly which makes communication so easy. He took us to a part of the island and made us the most fantastic meal on the beach, I... More

My family and I live in Puerto Princesa so we have the good fortune of being able to go on Palawan Sailing Adventure tours every few months or so. We love this business so much that when we have visiting friends, we send them off on tours as well. Whenever we do a Honda Bay Sailing Tour or a beach... More
