Superlatives fall short. Do this tour. Emilio thank you. Dexi and company are amazing. - From the very start, it was readily apparent that this group is genuinely interested in your well being and strive to give you the best experience you can have. Meet the owners. Meet their son Emilio who ran our tour. Take a banka which functions as a tender to the trimaran. Welcome and introduction to crew. Baseline expectations already met and surpassed.
The trimaran has lots of seating areas, bean bags, netting/hammocks, pillows, a second floor, and a bar. An actual bathroom with an honest to goodness toilet meets your needs. Not lacking for space to wander around in or just plop down under a canopy that shields you from the sun. You’re taken to the various sites in comfort and upon reaching the destination a tender brings you in for the final few hundred feet. Lunch is served partway through and Emilio crafted the menu that the chef cooked to perfection. Best chicken inasal I had in Coron.
A synopsis of the tour is the sites are wonderful to stunning. That’s all well and fine and can be done with anyone. But what makes this company special and more than sets them apart is the care they gave us. Our 80 year old mother was worried about getting off and on the tender and the physicality of some things. Dexi made sure she didn’t miss a step. Never faltered once. Held her arm for hundreds and hundreds of steps up and down to Kayangan lake. Practically levitated her up from the banka to the pier. He took care of her like his own grandmother. The respect and care was heartfelt. The same care was extended to the rest of us. A team was put together with the ideals of the owners. Do a better job for the customer than any other company could do. Mission accomplished and job well done. My thanks Emilio.
Use these folks for your Coron tour. Zero regrets.
Remember the full sized toilet in their bathroom? Think about the panic of going on tour with a banka for several hours and no relief in site. These folks have all your bases covered and are worth every penny.

Awesome day out - Amazing trip to go and visit the islands. Would definitely recommend spending the bit extra as the boat is awesome and huge and the staff are great. Nothing was to hard and we all had a great day. May surprised us after an amazing lunch with a cake congratulating us on our recent marriage. Awesome day out and would definitely recommend to anybody looking to do the ultimate tour but with the added luxuries

Fantastic - Everything about this boat and experience is exceptional. The staff were amazing and the boat was very comfortable. Food was also delicious. Bri g your walking shoes to climb the stairs. And extra money for fees, ours were $1500 peso per person on the day.

Top notch & well organised. - Had a wonderful day out on this grand vessel. There were just 4 guests on our day so we had a lot of room to spread out between the various day beds and hammocks.
The food was delicious and top notch, service (there were more crew than guests) was high end attentive and the vibe was a happy one.
At each of the stops we went at our own pace and were showed where to snorkel and given space to explore on our own rather than glued to a big group.
We've now been on one of the small private boat tours and this larger one. It's great to not have the motor noise and smell of the engine smoke constantly that you get on the small boats, as well as bathroom facilities.
Highly recommend, even just to feel like royalty for a day!

A “bucket list” experience. - From start to finish, this was an awesome excursion. - in fact, the best excursion we had during our 28 day cruise through SE Asia! May and Miguel are wonderful hosts and their crew are just the best. We had a tight schedule due to an early ship departure but their team ensured we had a full experience and yet returned us to the ship as required.
The trimaran is in excellent condition and the facilities are great. The welcome aboard refreshments, bar service and lunch are first rate. At each stop we had a guide for snorkeling, kayaking or just swimming showing the way to some awesome hideaways and sights.
Transfers to and from the cat were prompt and convenient. We were personally met by May and Miguel who assured us that we’d be well taken care of - which we were and far exceeded our expectations!
For those traveling or cruising to Coron, Cinco Ninos is a must experience which you will remember fondly. It truly is a Luxury, Style and Comfort Experience.

All Great. - It was just the two of us as the other group that planned to join had flight issues. Non related group. They had no problem only taking the two of us on such a big boat which was wonderful. We went to great places and all the crew was wonderful. They were very helpful with some of my mobility issues. Met the owners as well and they were delightful. I would highly recommend them.

Luxury day out - Lucked out by being the only couple on board. The tour guide was so great and changed the typical itinerary so that we weren’t fighting with tourists. The food was amazing (plenty of it) and the crew were so friendly and accommodating. Went to some absolutely incredible places on this trip including a cave that had just opened in which you can swim in the super deep cold water and a stunning coral reef called the “coral garden” which was like a different world. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

Incredible people and experience - The Cinco Ninos team were absolutely amazing. From start to finish, we were treated with care, and we had an incredible day seeing all the most beautiful sites surrounding Coron. We started the day with some personal challenges and when I messaged the tour chat to advise we might be a little late for pick up, they immediately offered to help sort everything out with the support of some local knowledge. Once we made it on the boat the team were waiting with fresh drinks and snacks - their outstanding chefs prepared the best meal of our whole trip for lunch! The boat captain personalised our tour based on our preferred sites and made sure that we beat the crowds and got as much time as possible to take in all the gorgeous sites. Would absolutely recommend again and again.

Unforgettable Island Tour! - Unforgettable Island Hopping Experience with Cinco Niño in Coron, Palawan!
Our private island-hopping adventure in Palawan was made truly unforgettable thanks to the amazing crew and service on the *Cinco Niño* boat. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of hospitality that made us feel right at home.
The boat itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable ride as we explored the stunning islands of Coron. The crew particularly our awesome guide are knowledgeable, providing us with interesting insights about each destination, and they made sure we were safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
What made the experience even more memorable was the attention to detail—the team ensured that every stop was well-timed, allowing us to fully enjoy the pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life without feeling rushed. We had ample time for swimming, snorkeling and taking photos in all our destinations, which was really awesome!
If you're looking for a hassle-free, enjoyable, and truly memorable island-hopping experience in Coron, Palawan, I highly recommend *Cinco Niño*. It's the perfect way to explore the beauty of the islands while being in the hands of a professional and friendly team.
