About
In order to grab the best possible experience, we will pick you early in the morning from where you're staying in General Luna, Siargao island. From General Luna jetty, you will get the excursion boat. Our key spotlight, Sohoton cove is a cluster of small islets with lagoons, limestone caves and rock formations. The natural beauty of this area is absolutely stunning and breathtaking.
Jellyfish Sanctuary is one of few and unique locations where you may swim and do snorkeling with harmless jellyfish. Swimming with them in the blue lagoon will be a memorable experience.
We will explore Hagukan and Crystal Caves, only accessible by water and our experienced guides will escorted you to explore the caves. A short distance swimming under the water is required. But our experienced guides will be able to bring non swimmers to the breathable space inside the coves.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kukizzs0 contributionsScam! Avoid! OverpricedSCAM!! AVOID!! The crew on board was amazing including the guide. The problem is with advertise itself, it cannot be cancelled and it is super expensive compere to others (even private). I strongly recommend to book it once you are in elnido for the fraction of the price you will pay here!Written February 6, 2025
- 348maih0 contributionsAwesome private Coron tourThis review pertains only to the Coron Super Ultimate Tour, which we did on Jan 29, 2025. We booked and paid in advance online, so I was a little anxious before the date arrived reading some of the reviews. But PD did a great job with communication and logistics. I requested to be picked up before other tours to beat the crowd, and the driver was at our hotel 15 min early! As for the tour, Renz and the crew did a superb job taking us around to all the most famous sights and were always helpful. I got so many great photos taken throughout the day. We were given lots of time at each location to swim and kayak and never felt rushed. Coron is super, super beautiful and I recommend a private tour to really take everything in, even if it costs more. I understand the company also has tours in other parts of the Philippines and I can’t speak to the quality of those.Written February 2, 2025
- gilda67240 contributionsThe perfect guideFound tour guide by reading TripAdvisor reviews before trip to Coron, Palawan. Contacted Aldrin Labustro thru Facebook messenger. He was the BEST tour guide we’ve ever had. Months before, he gave quotes on island hopping, we agreed & reserved for private boat. Made contact while waiting for port clearance to get off ship & he arranged for kayak & snorkels to be ready while we made our way to boat pier. No wasted time. Our family of 10 (4 kids ages 3-7) had a blast! A very unforgettable experience. Not only did Aldrin know where to bring us but he was very helpful with the kids and oldies alike. He paddled kids on the kayak, pulled lifebuoy for me & my husband & taught him to snorkel. He was very helpful, patient, with very pleasant personality. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He’s a 10 or 2 thumbs up.Written January 7, 2025
- caseyc9460 contributionsDon't Do This. We Left Early.The only thing good was the guide. At the first beach we knew we got a bad deal. The beach isn't possible to swim at due to the rocks. I ended up cutting my feet up leaving the boat and swimming ashore. The snorkeling is a random place in the ocean where they drop bread in thr water and fish come up. The food was not great. The shrimp and crabs were only boiled and no seasoning or flavor. That was when we finally got a bike and left. I've never left a trip in my entire life early due to how bad it was. You have to pay to use the snorkels for 20 minutes. I think this should be included since their cheap. Island hopping is basically just visiting other random beaches either connected directly to boracay or extremely close. The first stop was literally an abandoned hotel project that you can walk around on. It was slippery and a couple fell but not badly. Guide was nice. That's the only positive thing. Don't do this tour.Written January 5, 2025

- Osama J0 contributionsBe warned ⚠️What an absolute joke of a tour company trading as Philippines Divers (cant find them on Google). Massively lacking in management, communication, and respect. They hadn't notified us that they were going to be late by 45 minutes in collecting us as we were aimlessly waiting on the side of the road for someone to turn up with no response from them. Later, we discovered that the tour was never organized even though we had booked and paid in full. We refused their full refund or rescheduling offer as we had booked to travel to Coron the next day. Their representative was floating around and half the time on the phone, arranging for a last-minute boat for us where we met another couple in the same situation, who had also not had been notified why the tour hasn't started. Note that we were burning daylight for a 7 hour tour, which was meant to start at 9:30am. Approximately 3 hours later, the tour company had finally organized a boat (who was a skipper, not a tour guide) as a "Combination Tour" which was partly what we booked and they demanded that our payment is to be kept in full regardless of what type of "tour" we are getting, late start so the tour will be short, and no lunch will be provided as booked. The rude tour representative had implied that they were doing us a favor by organizing our tour last minute because we refused their offer. Infuriated with this and a heated discussion later, we agreed on receiving a 50% refund (which was generous on our behalf) and carried on with the tour that had lost its excitement. Post this incident and tour, I had no communication from this company and still struggling to get our refund. I recommend TripAdvisor to remove this tour company being listed on their website due to poor management, respect, and a lack of communication in a nutshell.Written December 26, 2024
- O2983VJryanw0 contributionsGreat day but over promises and undeliveredWe booked a private tour at 8 am specifically to beat crowds. We got an email the night before confirming and they pushed it back to 8:30. We waited in our hotel lobby and no one came. Then I contacted the tour and it seemed as though they forgot about us. This was also my birthday and finally someone picked us up at 9:17 am. No apologies. Our tour got started very late and our guide was nice enough but didn’t tell us anything about where we were going or what we were doing and was just on his phone and smoking all day. The day was beautiful scenery and still worth it but I was disappointed with the organization. No one on the boat spoke English so the whole day we never got a guided experience. Also the excursion was supposed to be 9 hours and pick up to drop off ended up lass than 6 hours. So the excursion was a good day but not at all what it was advertised. The scenery and location was beautiful.Written December 25, 2024
- Graham J0 contributionsIsland hopping NOT worth it just another beschReally not worth the money got ripped again on these island tours the beach is just another beach with people selling 😑 and kids begging .Couldn't believe that we had to pay to go snorkelling even though it's a minimal amount that for 30 mins was the best of trip food on other beach ok 👍 then 3 Rd beach more money required none of the others paid so quick wip in then back to beaches ⛱️..really not worth the hassles save your moneyWritten December 11, 2024
- Graham J0 contributionsDO NOT bother another rip of track is small like your gardenDon't bother the circuit is dangerous and it's like your back garden NOT worth the money only good thing is the speedboat ride to the island the minibus in yellow is utter death trap paid for 40mins only did 10 really took the p...ss.After that they take you to a river to kiak boarding but really it's a filthy river not what I expected and total rip of £45 for 1.45 hour tripWritten December 11, 2024
- jordiw3480 contributionsAmazing tour!Wonderful islands and snorkeling experience, our guide Trench was very cool. Definitely worth it while in Siargao. If possible, book directly with the tour people and not via Tripadvisor because the real price is 1500 PHP.Written October 26, 2024
- michael g0 contributionsMainland ATV and ZiplineBoracay offers thrilling ATV adventure and zipline experiences, perfect for adrenaline seekers. The ATV adventure, while average compared to the more challenging trails in Bohol, still an enjoyable one., However, the ATVs can be somewhat hard to maneuver, and riders may feel tired after three laps. The zipline, on the other hand, offers a view of the trees and the river, though some might find that the old zipline in Boracay Island had a better view, but is no longer operational. You can also do river kayak and "kawa" bath if you wish to stay longer. The journey to the venue includes a speed boat ride, a few minutes of walk and a land travel, taking almost an hour from the White Beach. Be informed that this activity is at the Mainland, not in Boracay Island.Written July 24, 2024
- barrymccullough0 contributionsA brilliant day trip!We loved this tour … and this despite it being the rainy season. The scenery was spectacular and the snorkelling and kayaking great fun. The highlight was seeing dolphins. The tour guides, Rynie and his crew mates, were all great. Really friendly and helpful. We booked the private tour which was well worth it as we were able to choose how long we stayed at each location. We’d really recommend this tour!Written July 18, 2024
- gisselchristian0 contributionsATV Tour and zip-lineATV Tour on a Shot Track circling 3 Times only and if you have a slow driver in front of you, you’re stuck. No way to overtake. The zip-line was ok but in general the Boat-ride to the venue was the best part of the trip…Written July 10, 2024
- Melissa M0 contributionsBest Coron tourThis was the highlight of our time in Coron. The shipwrecks were amazing, you get an even better view if you can do some free diving. We managed to avoid crowds and had an amazing day. Would highly recommend taking this tour!Written June 15, 2024

First of all, don’t do this alone. It’s all couples. Second of all, if you are in General Luna and thinking about doing this tour, please be advised that it’s a 1 hour car ride pending there’s no traffic jams and a 2 hour boat ride from your hotel. That was not made clear in the information that was provided to me and I was honestly pretty upset about it. Had I known travel time was so long I would not have gone, not to mention if you have arthritis or anything at all of that nature where you have achy joints, this is not the tour for you. The seating was so uncomfortable, I personally could barely walk at the end of the day. Also, the jellyfish part of the tour (the part I was most excited about) lasted only 10-15 minutes. We spent more time at caves than anything which was also not made clear to me in the booking, I have a serious fear of caves so had I known about this, again I would not have gone. The lunch that is provided caters to people who eat seafood, which I am allergic to. They had a small bit of chicken that was gone by the time it was my turn so I just had fruits and rice. Also, I ended up getting sun poisoning and threw up a bunch when I got back to my hotel due to lack of sun protection, even though it was overcast, still nursing a fever as well, I did have spf on but no cover on the boats means no true protection which has led to a major burn for me even with spf on. I can’t I’m good conscious recommend this tour. I figure most people will be going for the jellyfish as I did and it was so short lived, it wasn’t even worth all the trouble honestly. The only reason I’m giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because the jellyfish were cute.

An interesting experience diving and close encounter with non-sting jelly fish in Siargao's Sohoton Jelly Fish Sanctuary. We had a great time and our volunteer community tour guides (Leo and Nel) helped capture some of the underwater videos. I've created a documentary video and posted on youtube for your viewing pleasure.

Would the staff be able to provide photography at the Jellyfish sanctuary?
