          Balabac with Lagum - the most amazing tour in the Philippines!
          I did the Balabac Tour 2-5 December with Lagum and it was the very best thing I did in the Philippines! The tour is very well organised, the campsite in Sicsican is amazing and much better that the other ones in other islands around: not crowded, with wonderful huts right by the beach, fresh coconut, decent toilets/bucket showers, and great people :) The places we visited were breathtaking, with just our small group of less than 20pp and a few couples here and there. It really felt as if we had all the spots and the campsite for ourselves which is priceless! Food was good considering how remote the place is but maybe having a bit more fruits would have been great ;) A big shout out to our guide Renz who was fenomenal! He always made sure that everything was going smoothly and that everyone was happy. He even took fantastic drone shots during the trip for us. Thank you Renz and thank you Lagum! I would go back to the Philippines just to do this tour again with you guys :) One suggestion: it would be great to have the option to do a longer tour (5-6 days). As a solo traveller I can’t do a private tour but I would have loved to have the opportunity to stay longer

          Amazing Island Hopping Tour
          We had an amazing time with Victor showing us the various beautiful sights in Coron during our Island Hopping tour. The tour was very flexible and Victor's excellent planning made great use of our time and still delivered us back to our cruise ship with time to spare. This is a must for a one day tour of Coron. Be sure to ask for Victor who speaks excellent English and also took some great photos of us.

          Amazing time in Coron
          Our tour guide Jemmer (Jem) and crew were truly amazing!! They kept us on time and still showed us all the best spots. We were comfortable and had the most awesome time. The food was so delicious and the snack was just perfect. We made our ship back in enough time and couldn’t have imagined a better tour!

          Excellent Private Tour - Lagum Adventures
          Booked the private tour A option with Lagum Adventures and was not disappointed! They took good care of us, were flexible in start time and knew where and when to go to bypass the rushed of other tours. Great experience and recommended!

          A custom tour with A* service! Definitely recommend
          My partner and I did the Lagum Adventures private Tour A and we had an amazing time! Fantastic and responsive WhatsApp communication with the company made it super quick and easy to book, Irene was extremely helpful and answered all the questions I had. We were able to meet Irene and our tour guide in the main port in El nido at whatever time in the morning we desired. Jo and the rest of the crew were very helpful and assisted me and my partner getting into and out of the boat, Jo also provided some interesting background at each site we visited which made the trip even more enjoyable. They also catered for vegetarians which was a huge plus for us. We felt like we had full flexibility in terms of timing, how long to stay at each site, and whether we wanted to kayak swim or snorkel. It felt like a truly personalised tour, and far cheaper than what our hotel was offering. I would recommend Lagum adventures!

          Fantastic experience with Jonard, Alwen and Reno. They were super helpful during the day and ensured we had a safe and fun experience. Stopped off for a great lunch. Highly recommend this experience for anyone in El-Nido!

          Avoid at all costs.
          Avoid at all costs ! We booked a cruise to Balabac with Lagum Adventure Philippines, and the experience was a complete disaster. We traveled all the way to Buliluyan port only to find out that every other agency had canceled their cruises due to unsafe weather conditions (15-knot winds and a forecasted storm, as confirmed by the coast guards). Despite this, Lagum Adventure decided to proceed, knowingly putting us at risk. When we arrived, the tour guide himself advised us to cancel the trip, admitting that it would rain for the next four days and that the waves were too strong. We also learned that the agency altered the itinerary for other passengers due to the rough seas, proving they knew the conditions were dangerous. Yet, they refused to acknowledge their negligence or issue us a refund. On top of their irresponsible behavior: - Some clients only paid a deposit and were not required to settle the full amount, unlike us. - They hid behind bureaucratic excuses (claiming there was no “official memo” from the coast guard) to avoid accountability. - Their communication is dishonest and manipulative, claiming the trip was “safe” despite clear evidence to the contrary. We wasted time, money, and were unnecessarily put at risk. We absolutely do not recommend this agency. If you’re planning a cruise to Balabac, choose a responsible company that prioritizes your safety. Avoid at all costs.

          Unlucky weather
          Buyer beware. We arrived at the port to find 17knot winds and rain. The guide was super friendly and helpful and reccomended we do not go and showed us the forecast. Arrived back to P.P. after a 10 hour bus ride to snide comments about a return policy and the coast guard not shutting the trip down. Advice is pay as small a deposit as possible or plan to go no matter what the weather conditions. We only lost 12k. The other boat that cancelled lost their whole trip. Feel for them.

          Once in a lifetime experience, but the lagum tour package is too expensive. There are other alternatives for only a fraction of the price.

          Lagum Adventure is the perfect go to tour company
          Firstly, didn’t know that there was had no tours booked a day before our trip to El Nido. So a rushed Google search led me to Lagum Adventure. The reviews of previous guests helped in my decision to choose this outfit. Irene was very helpful. Re-assured me when I panicked about my bill. Was very prompt to answer my messages. Our crew was composed of Jonard, the tour guide, captain Rey and his co-captain Al. Admittedly we were not off to a great start when the bangka stalled before we could leave the port. Our tour got delayed an hour but in exchange they extended the tour and even brought us to an island not part of tour A. All throughout the trip, the crew was very helpful, cheerful and all around the nicest possible crew you can have. We decided to book another tour for the next day and was so glad we got the same crew. Tour D was more relaxed and the fact that we arrived at a couple of beaches before the rest of the crowd was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this tour company and definitely ask for Jonard, Rey and Al if at all possible. Thank you for a short but wonderful El Nido adventure.

        Highly recommended. Hands down AAA+++ experience! Welly B, Jun-Jun, and the rest of the crew went above and beyond to make this trip extra special. Welly took terrific photos, helped us row our kayak, and guided us to the big Lagoon. At the journey's beginning, the tour leader fully disclosed which islands we could or could not visit due to heavy wind gusts and rough waves due to the remnants of a tropical storm. We also have a sumptuous lunch. All Staff are very attentive and readily assist all guests. We visited multiple islands, and they are all fantastic! I highly recommend this tour.
        On the other hand, the Coast Guard is proactive in ensuring your safety by approving specific tours that can operate on certain days, especially during a storm. Tour A is not in an open sea, so we could go by the Coast Guard. Lastly, bring watersheds, cell phone covers with lanyards to prevent water from getting into your phone, and sunscreen.

        El Nido is a truly beuatiful place and the tours, whilst quite busy, are one of the best ways to get out and see the different islands, beaches and snorkelling spots.
        Lagum Adventure is one of many agencies acting as middlemen for the tours. We booked a few tours online in advance but it would have been easy and saved a little to to hav ebooked with any of the competing agencies in El Nido. Lagum offer pickup from hotel but it's usually easiest to make your own way and our experience was that communication could have been a lot better.

        The tour itself was great, but definitely need to update what is included and excluded. In the description it said water and soda was included along with a buffet lunch but this was not the case. We had to pay for drinks off of another boat or on the island and lunch was a box lunch.

        Trip and crew were good but the boat stops far from the beach and very rocky areas. Very difficult to get on and off and most people in our groups had cuts from the sharp rocks. Lunch could be better

        It‘s all the same, regardless of which operator you book (online of offline) - the whole town is collaborating with excess-/limited capacity so it’s just a gamble which bot you hop in.
        Even when you are a private tour, you will go to the same (very crowded) beaches (you start a little earlier though, but at least 50% of the time you will feel the extra pay was pointless).
        Prices on Tripadvisor for Extras are not what you will here on site (not mich difference in EUR but annoying). Buffet was good/ok, but there are always 20-30 people on a single boat so it’s more a fight at the buffet for the good stuff- otherwise you can have rice and super-dry meat. The crews are accustomed to net getting any tips and so no one really makes an effort.
        Ignore what the description is on Tripadvisor: no tour is longer than 6 hours. In the morning you wait ages (in the burning sun) to leave the harbor and on the islands it is more 40minutes when you can’t spend money and 2h when you can’t do anything else.
        Landscapes are amazing -> so still do the tour(s), but expect tourists in the background of your pictures. Advice: take precaution bc of sunburns (like swimming shirt).
