What people are saying about Palawan

This is a great tour that takes you to some fantastic beaches and swim spots, away from the crowds of Tour A. The guides are always excellent and friendly and very helpful. Lunch is amazing, worth the price alone! I definitely recommend this tour company, we took 2 of their tours. Tour A is the most popular and most crowded so this Tour C was a nice change of pace to relax more. The company is also very accommodating and communicative.

This is a great tour to see the UNESCO underground caves...it is much more impressive than you would think, and well run. Corazon Tours is an excellent compay, we used them for 3 tours, they are very accommodating and a pleasure to work with!

The islands we visited were very beautiful, they were little paradise islands! Though it was raining later on still the experience was great. Lunch prepared by the team was very delicious. Thank you, guys, for such great experience!

Kim and James were awesome! They made it so much fun. Very attentive and courteous.

Had the greatest tour guide, excellent group, nice trip
