A Highlight of our Honeymoon: Helicopter Island! - Tour C was AMAAAZINGGG!! Some of the most stunning views we’ve ever seen in our lives and such a fun boat ride! The guides and food were awesome too! Tour C is also less crowded than Tour A. Highly recommend renting the kayak and snorkeling gear. Helicopter Island was one of the most gorgeous spots we experienced on our honeymoon! :)

Tour C - We did your C, as it’s a more active tour. Swimming to beaches, that you can’t see from the boat, and swimming through holes to get to a beach. Fantastic time, incredible experience. Food was good and they took lots of pictures! Highly recommend if you are adventurous. Our guide June, and his crew were amazing!

Great adventure - I think I prefer your C to the famous tour A in El Nido islands. This tour offers great fun and adventure, swimming trough water caves or reef areas to access tiny and encapsulated secret beaches. But there is also plenty of resting time. I really recommend it. But I must advise on the following. The company must inform on the tour description the level of adventure and sometimes danger this tour entails. Several people got hurt on rocks or sea urchins, and some people didn’t find themselves fit or with enough swimming skills to jump of the off the boat and go shores over the reefs and caves. Water showers and snorkel are a MUST for this tour. I repeat, I must have. It is definitely more than a sightseeing chilling tour. So be aware. Of course nobody is forced to leave the boat. The sailing experience is nice on its own, but of course one would like to see the highlight spots. Food could also be better, but it’s still a good meal provided for the remote conditions. The crew provided us also good assistance overall. Only one down side, which I think it doesn’t happen all the time but can be improved: we had to wait almost an hour on the boat for the captain to arrive before initial departure. But no impact on the time spent at the locations.

Tour C - The tour was amazing! Initially I thought we would be kayaking, however the weather allowed us to visit 5 islands and the swimming was fun! The tour guides were very supportive and knowledgeable. The food was great too! I’d do this event again!

Amazing nature - lots of people - The nature of El Nido is amazing, but there are quite a lot of people on these tours. The corals are all broken as the boats anchor up there. We were on a big boat and not that many people, so that was really nice. Other boats were packed. The price you pay for the ticket at Tripadvisor are really expensive compared to the price on site. 45$ at Tripadvisor and 25$ on site. And there a so many boat I doubt that the trip will ever sell out. So just buy the ticket on site instead and then you can also see how the weather is gonna be.

Tour C El Nido - We did tour A in El Nido and it was very good. However, this tour C was not. Schedule and stops were changed last minute and replacement stops were not as well as the original. And same driver as in tour A is missing experience to park at each stop.

Mediocre Snorkeling Tour At Best - The snorkeling was mediocre. Out of five stops, only two had snorkeling (and this was the snorkeling tour) and the fish and coral were disappointing. El Nido was supposed to be great, but it was not great snorkeling. I suspect the sites visited by this tour are overused. A multiday expedition from El Nido to other islands may have the elusive snorkeling that was advertised by oversold.

Very unorganised - I received a message the day before the tour saying that the tour could be cancelled due to weather, which was expected as it had been windy and rainy for the past few days. We got the all clear that tour C would go ahead, and when we boarded the boat, the informed us that we would not be able to visit any locations in tour C due to the weather. Instead of giving us an explanation on what the rest of the day would look like, the tour guide made us (the whole group) decide what we wanted to do, without knowing the options. Getting off the boat to go into the beach was extremely dangerous, with huge waves crashing and dumping everyone into the water and sand. I was completely understanding that the weather can take turns suddenly, however, the way the captain handled it, almost guilt tripping us into making the decision to be safe, made the whole tour feel uneasy and everyone was very confused and annoyed that we didn’t do any stops of tour C regardless of being told that tour C would go ahead as per normal that morning. The only thing that made the tour bearable was the people I met on the boat. The captain kept hitting on me and making me feel uncomfortable. Overall, it was a pretty poor day

Horrible. - We paid an extra €150 to privatize our tour: big scam! We were already wet to get on the boat: no one helps you. 7 hours of excursion: a small bottle of water was planned ... I was thirsty. The food was medium: no shrimp or fish as planned by the agency. The worst thing: when we got off the boat... our clothes and bags were wet: we made you go down in a tide at 2 meters... Also we privatized to have calm: the crew spoke loudly throughout the voyage
