The advertisement said they would pick you up in an air conditioned van and we got picked up by what the locals call a “new van” which is basically another name for a tricycle, but it seats more. So immediately I was skeptical, but they explained that they had a lot of people on the tour that day and I don’t personally mind riding in the native style The tour guides were awesome and understood English pretty well, and had great senses of humor. The locations that we traveled to were all absolutely stunning! Without a doubt, the most beautiful water and beaches I have ever seen! I highly recommend renting the clear kayaks to cruise around in and I also recommend either renting or bringing snorkel and mask. There are vendors that will meet you as you’re getting on the boat to sell you water boots, masks, snorkels, flippers, sunscreen, etc, but they’ll charge excessively compared to other shops in town. You’ve been warned

The tour was extremely well organized. Despite a slightly late pick-up we arrived well on time in El Nido. The boat company were great, we were told 5 stops and we got them. No rushing and ample time to enjoy each spot. The scenery is stunning and really good snorkeling and beaches. Lunch is cooked and served on the boat. They put a lot of emphasis on safety and we were well looked after during the day. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Well worth the price and journey.

Amazing experience. Pick up transportation from Puerto Princesa to El Nido was smooth, driver picked us up from our hotel at the exact time given and got us there safely after a 5 hour drive. Tour guides Jason and Nathan on the Marielle boat really put an effort in making sure we enjoyed the tour. They were very friendly, accommodating and our family enjoyed our conversations with them.

We had such a wonderful time. The crew were so nice an accommodating. We hired a photographer and the photos turned out amazing!!! The lunch was so delicious. We were able to get to the highlight areas before the crowds and come and go as we wanted. Highly recommend a private tour for Coron! We had such an amazing time!

we had so much fun no words can explain how great we have to this agency...
