      Perfect Day in Coron!
      It was amazing in every way! All stops were fun and beautiful. Hard to choose which of the stops was the best. The crew were professional, informative and always went above and beyond. Highly recommended, must do excursion if you're in Coron!

      unforgettable experience
      The Hot Air Balloon Festival was an unforgettable experience! 🌅🎈 The sky came alive with vibrant colors as dozens of balloons floated gracefully at sunrise. The atmosphere was electric, with live music, food stalls, and excited crowds capturing every moment. Whether you’re there for the breathtaking views, the unique photo ops, or just to soak in the festive vibe, it’s definitely worth the trip. Plus, watching the night glow event, where balloons light up against the evening sky, was pure magic! ✨ A must-visit for adventure seekers and dreamers alike.

      Lack of communication
      Beware. The listing says pick up in Palawan but not where. I was staying in Puerta Princessa and gave them my hotel info for pick up. They didn't message me until the DAY BEFORE to say they didn't do pick up to my location and obviously I couldn't find a way there last minute. No offer/way to cancel for refund at that point either. I should have realized that my location would be too far for pick up, but I've been on other tours in Philippines that had long drives for pick up so when I didn't hear anything from them about the distance of my location I assumed it was OK until they messaged me the day before. Since they waited until the day before, I also couldn't plan an alternative and wasted a day of my trip.

      Firefly Watching in Bohol
      We had an amazing Rio Verde Firefly Watching cruise. Best time to do the cruise is at dusk or early evening. It is a very short cruise but well worth it. We were told noises from clapping our hands motivates the fireflies to show up & shine brighter! All guests had fun doing so. Hard to get good photos though since it’s in the evening.

      Worth the visit and cost!
      Puning Hot Spring in Angeles City offers a beautiful and relaxing experience with great service. However, they only accept cash for entry, which is inconvenient. Adding more payment options would improve the experience. Still worth a visit!

      Loud but fun
      Husband and I went by ourselves the first week of December. Well run, boats leaving regularly, easy to get ticketed. Food on the boat was delicious with many choices. Cultural dance stop was fun. The only problem was the on board music was too loud. It was hard to have a conversation with your cruise mates.

      Terribly organised
      We were meant to be picked up at 07:30- driver didn’t arrive until 08:30. There wasn’t any clear communication of what was happening. We got to the venue and the driver didn’t know who our tour operator was. In the tour description it said we would be provided with water which we didn’t receive. If we knew that, we would have brought our own. The description also states the entrance fees are included but when we got there we were asked to pay. I reiterated that the extortionate amount we paid for the tour already included the entry fees. The actual guide that swam with us to the reef was fantastic. He took plenty of videos and pictures for us- I cannot fault him. However, the way the entire thing was organised was haphazard and it wasn’t at all worth the amount we paid! I should’ve really waited until we got to Bohol and booked here instead of before we arrived here.

      AMAZING EXPERIENCE
      We didn't want to do the cruise during our country tour of Bohol but at the end we did it and it turned into an amazing experience! The ship is very nice and all the tour is super organized. The buffet style food and the service were excellent, the waiters and staff very kind. We also loved very much the entertainments. I really recommend it to everyone!

      Nicest Island!
      Finest sand beach I've ever been to. Worth the visit! Clear water, fine sand and lush mountains! We practically owned the island.

      Awesome Sardines
      It was a moment of a lifetime with thousands of sardines zipping past you in a terrific snorkeling area right next to the cliffs where you descend from...apart from sardines, other beautiful marine fishes such as Nemo too find their way there..Its a MUST SEE thing when you are visiting Bohol....better stay at one of the resorts by the cliff for a night to enjoy it even more.

      Awesome Whale shark
      We went to Albuquerque in Bohol where we saw 3 Whale sharks hovering around our small canoe & it was a thrill of a lifetime....Huge fish swimming across in open ocean with startling speed to get the feed & was a heart stopping moment....loved it!

      Moalboal white beach, Cebu is ugly
      Moalboal White Beach is the ugliest beach in the Philippines. Very dirty, the sand is like an ashtray full of cigarretes and all trash everywhere . It is deceiving in pictures but once you get there, people ask for Environmental fee, and the beach is so dirty. Don't ever go to this place. Foreign Vloggers fearure this beach but it's really ugly, filthy in reality. It was a mistake going there. Never again. The environmental fee was a such a scam. Not sure where the money goes, definitely not in cleaning the beach.

      NON REFUNDABLE despite saying trip can be canceled
      Buyers beware! When ordering, it says you can cancel a few days before the trip but they will NOT give you your money back. Such terrible false advertising. It should really say non refundable to be accurate. I feel cheated and they should warn about their no refund policy before they accept the order and take to your money.
