Excellent experience and amazing crew! Rene, Angelo and the rest of the tour guides ensured a safe excursion for all of us. Although we chose not to snorkel, we still enjoyed the locations as the beaches and islands we visited were absolutely stunning. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Full description

This unique tour will take you over the world-famous beaches of El Nido that include Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, Helicopter Island, Talisay Beach and Matinloc Island. Your day begins with an early departure to El Nido Pier, where you'll travel to your first stop: Helicopter Island, named for its unique rock formations that from a distance looks like a helicopter. Visit Matinloc Shrine, which is also known as the Shine of Our Lady of Matinloc, a spritual oasis. After learning the stories behind this location, head off to the Secret Beach.

The activities and tour guides we had were great. The food on the boat was also very nice. We went on this tour in rainy season and knew that there could be rain however the huge downside to this tour was that it was raining extremely heavy and there was minimal cover from the rain on the boat. I got absolutely saturated and had to sit in soaked clothing the whole trip from the beginning to end. I would highly recommend the company investing in some cover for the sides of the boat that can be used when it’s raining, it will make guests more comfortable and the tour so much more enjoyable when it is raining.
