What people are saying about El Nido

The tour was extremely well organized. Despite a slightly late pick-up we arrived well on time in El Nido. The boat company were great, we were told 5 stops and we got them. No rushing and ample time to enjoy each spot. The scenery is stunning and really good snorkeling and beaches. Lunch is cooked and served on the boat. They put a lot of emphasis on safety and we were well looked after during the day. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Well worth the price and journey.

The boat does not dock directly on the beach, so you have to walk 10m to the boat at the open. We had to carry our bags on our heads to prevent them from falling into the water. This tour should only be done in good weather (ideally no weather with strong wind). The drive from puerto princesa to el nido takes 4.5 hours, far too long, but with 2 toilet breaks. On the whole, one must have seen el nido.

Amazing experience. Pick up transportation from Puerto Princesa to El Nido was smooth, driver picked us up from our hotel at the exact time given and got us there safely after a 5 hour drive. Tour guides Jason and Nathan on the Marielle boat really put an effort in making sure we enjoyed the tour. They were very friendly, accommodating and our family enjoyed our conversations with them.

The tour was perfect! A great way to see the many islands. The tour guides were awesome and there was enough time to enjoy each location. I did package A and I really enjoyed it.

we had so much fun no words can explain how great we have to this agency...
