★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 132 reviews · 6 hours · from $23Book this one

Kayak Big Lagoon, swim and snorkel near secret coves, and relax on 7 Commandos Beach, with lunch at Shimizu Island.

“We waited for a while to start the day, around 45mins. After leaving the day went as expected. First island was beautiful, wish we spent more time there. An hour isnt enough time to soak up the views, palm trees, swing and swim. Kayaking was really fun, no complaints. If you kayak around theres a little cave you can go through. The secret lagoon was great to see. Difficult to get to if you can’t swim but the crew drag you towards the entrance. Bring water shoes or sandals with straps. With slippers is possible but they might float away. You need footwear for this part as there is a…”

Kayak Bohol's Abatan River mangrove tunnels, watch synchronous fireflies at twilight, then enjoy home cooked Filipino dinner with a conservation focus.

“Kayaking the Abatan River mangroves was an amazing experience. We loved weaving through the small channels—it was so much fun and really beautiful. Our guide, Vince, topped it all off. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe the whole time. Our kids (7 and 10) had a fantastic time kayaking and paddling too. The fireflies were beautiful to watch as they twinkled in the night. Amazing food too! Such a great family-friendly adventure—we highly recommend it!”

We never felt rushed, the tea, coffee, and snacks were delicious and was the fuel we needed for our journey back. We enjoyed our experience immensely and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a less crowded adventure under the moon light!!”

Crystal kayak phot-op in Boracay, 15 minutes with a local guide, clear-water rides, and pose help for Instagram photos.

“Kompletter Reinfall. Die Agentur vor Ort kann man weder finden, noch kennt sie jemand. Wir haben ewig gesucht, um dann festzustellen es gibt keine Agentur. Der angebliche Guide kam dann auch 30 minuten zu spät. Es wurde alles storniert und wir bekamen unser Geld zurück. Das gleiche fotoshootin kostet vor Ort 2€.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 5 hours · from $85

Paddle Coron’s north coast by kayak, snorkel quiet reef spots, and eat lunch on a secluded beach with an English-speaking guide.

“vam fer la excursió amb el Julius, i va ser el tour que ens va agradar més era expectacular. Vam anar amb kayak per Coron passant per llocs increïbles on nomes s'hi pot accedir amb kayak. Racons amagats, tranquils, sense gent, envoltats d'una natura impressionant. Tot estava perfectament organitzat: ens portaven el menjar fins allà així que només ens vam haver de preocupar de gaudir del moment. una experiencia totalment unica, auntentica i super recomanable per a tothom. Sobretot si vols descobrir llocs especials fora de les rutes més turistiques. ho recomanem 100%.”
