Island and beach-hopping boat tour with snorkeling around Boracay, plus lunch buffet and optional entry fees at top stops.
“The tour guide was incredible & I had the most amazing experiences. I definitely recommend. It’s breathtaking.”
Swim with Oslob whale sharks, cool at Tumalog Falls, then snorkel Moalboal sardines and turtles on a long Cebu day.
“Everything was great.. driver noel is very nice person and he made everything even better.. I really recommend this tour.”
6-hour Bohol boat tour from Panglao with Balicasag snorkeling, turtles, possible dolphins, and Virgin Island sandbar with lunch for $51.
“Picked up from near my hotel on time. Arrived at the boat where we met the friendly boat crew. The weather did take a turn for the worse half way through the trip however, the crew where enthusiastic and continued all of the activities. Lunch was superb! All i would say is that if you are attending this tour then bring some wet weather gear as there is limited rain protection.”
Cebu day trip with Oslob whale sharks by boat, a Kawasan Falls turquoise swim after a trek, and Moalboal sardines run with sea turtles.
“This tour is a must. The whale shark, the sardine run and the Kawasan Falls are unique. The only downside was that the whale shark view point was packed. It was like a private tour as my girlfriend and I were the only one in the car. Thanks to our driver Raul we had a safe, comfortable and fun journey, and to all our guides for this unforgettable experience.”
Boracay island hopping with snorkeling and Crystal Cove, plus buffet lunch. 5 hours from Astoria Station 1 for about $30.
“Fantastic day snorkelling and visiting Crystal Cove island! Mona was a fantastic guide, we would definitely recommend!”
Whale sharks in Oslob, Tumalog Falls, Pescador snorkel, Moalboal sardines and turtles, plus food and private transfers on a long Cebu day.
“Overall great experience getting to swim with whale sharks, sea turtles, and the sardine run. As for a minor opportunity for improvement, our boat’s engine to Pescador Island was very loud. We had to cover our ears as it likely exceeded a safe decibel level for a prolonged period of time.”
A private 4-hour Boracay island-hopping boat day with Crocodile Island snorkeling, Puka Beach time, and a local seafood BBQ lunch for $99.
“Everything we expected island hopping, swimming with the fish. Then at the end an amazing buffet of sea food. couldn't of asked for more. You get the most out of the trip if you schedule a private trip. The extra cost was totally worth it. Our guide took photos with my phone and theirs. Only issue we had was we didn't receive the extra photos he took using his phone.”

“The trip was so fun! The tour guides were very kind and informative! They were also great DJs for the long drive, we sang all the way there and back! They cooked fish and chicken on the bbq and it was delicious! The floating cabins and views came together for an amazing trip! I highly recommend Joann and Pedro!!!”
