What travelers are saying
- Darryl ANew Westminster, Canada9 contributionsThe natural beauty of tour destinations is spectacular. 10 days is far too short to explore the scope of what Palawan has to offer. They still have some way to go to reach the equivalent development of its neighboring countries, but is working on it.Written June 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Arlene CUnited States2 contributionsWe took a private tour with Alvin (tour guide) Jake (life guard) and Jesus (captain) and had the best time. If you decide to take this tour I highly encourage you to include Alvin when you rent a kayak at the Big Lagoon/Secret Lagoon. He took excellent pictures and videos I was able to share with family and friends that they have now added this tour on their bucket list when they visit El Nido. The lunch provided was also delicious. We never felt rushed especially at the snokeling spot. We saw beautiful corals and all types of fish. I highly recommend this tour.Written October 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- FamBamClan19 contributionsTour C was so beautiful and we were lucky enough to experience a beautiful sunny day in June. Was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our boat wasn’t over crowded and felt like we got to see a lot for the price.Written June 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sina K2 contributionsThe Tour A includes nice spots in Palawan. The beaches are so special and we went into a cave at secret beach. The pick up was honestly bad organized and in general it is too pricy. My advice book it when you are in El

Last year on my birthday trip as solo and this year with my kiddo! Last year was really fun in El Nido though I didn't feel well on my first day cause of the travel, they made sure I am taken care of and even sang happy birthday in their office, the staff were so cute and nice! This year in Puerto Princesa was a bit different since I decided to bring my kid last minute and again, the staff is super nice and communicates with me all throughout our stay. Definitely recommended and will surely book them again for my Coron trip next year!

- TomNewport News, VA8 contributionsThis was a such a great way to spend a day in Palawan. Our tour was professional and friendly with our knowledgeable guide, Echo, whose English skills were outstanding. We had a great time and had a unique experience in a beautiful part of the world.Written November 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ian WSydney23 contributionsWhat you have read is true, A and C are the best tours - I did all four of them.
The companies will get you there and feed you. Don’t expect too much more, they are there to get their job done.
I did four tours while I was there, the places you go are amazing but the level of care from the operators seem impacted by their familiarity of the setting - it’s special to you, not to them after the thousandth time!Written February 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not only they offer variety of island hopping they also have great variety of seafood fest!! I loved all the island that we’ve visited. The waters are very pristine. I enjoyed snorkeling.Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Maps637642734801 contributionWe were on a very tight schedule, landed from Cebu at 8am, made it to the hotel by 8:30am and got straight into the pick up van. The trip organizers were very accommodation and we are so glad we made it. The beaches were gorgeous. Up there with the best I’ve ever seen. We got a chance to spend enough time at each spot to be very content and went home really happy. The boat crew was courteous and funny! Definitely recommend this one if you want white sandy beaches in the middle of crystal clear blue waterWritten March 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul YMelbourne, Australia5 contributionsWent and saw so many things. Hospitality was top notch and everyone was happy to help us with food/lifejackets etc. Remember to bring some Peso's for the kayak hire when going into the lagoon. Food was excellent and snorkling in the private beach was awesome - watch out for the spikey sea urchens. They hurt! Highly recommended.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Bente v1 contributionI love the snake island the most, we arrived during low ide, which lagum adventure made sure of that so we can enjoy the beautiful island!

Our tour guide on the boat, Kuya Nep was very well informed and expertly crafted our tour to get the most out of each island. He also helped my mother (senior woman) get the most out of the trip even when she doesn’t swim. Very grateful for his excellent service.
Could not be more highly recommended!Written January 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From the pick-up to drop-off. Sir Mark was very insightful. We learned about the history of El Nido through the witty trivias of Sir Mark along with his dad jokes. We were able to go to their private beach which was very peaceful and relaxing. We also enjoyed listening to music whole going from one island to another. We also enjoyed the Small Lagoon and Cadlao Lagoon all by ourself with no crowd at all because of Sir Mark’s perfect timing. We highly recommend El Nido Yachting for your El Nido adventures.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
