1.Island Hopping Tour A Lagoons and Beaches

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,572 reviews · 8 hours · from $23Pick of the list

Review of El Nido Tour A, covering lagoons, beaches, snorkeling, lunch, extra fees, crowds, guides, and value at $23.

“Most of the activities were great. The first snorkeling spot was pretty average. There were no fish and it was very difficult to reach the beach due to sharp corals. However after this I have no complaints. It was clearly the most popular trip as all locations were busy but you have to expect this. The big lagoon kayaking was the real highlight and one of the island spots gave a chance to sunbathe rather than just snorkel all the time. Guide was very good but spoke very quickly and seemed frustrated when people asked him to repeat information. Overall I preferred tour C but this trip should not be…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 72 reviews · 15 hours · from $90

Review of Port Barton from Puerto Princesa: island hopping, turtle snorkeling, BBQ lunch, long road travel, price, and practical tips.

“alors activité moyenne dans l'ensemble.Le transport e van partage etait totalement horrible à l'aller:le chauffeur conduisait tres vite et etait anxiogèn.Un trajet stressant et horrible.Pour le retour,un peu mieux mais les chauffeurs conduisent vraiement trop vite. concernant l'activité,je n'ai ete pris en compte par aucun guide,juste placer parmi un groupe de personnes. Sur le tour en lui meme,pas trop mal mais les étoiles de mer ont l'air morte et nous n'avons pas vu ou tres peu vu de tortues. bref,beaucoup de routes et de grosses prises de risques pour une activité moyenne.A eviter ou à faire directement depuis Port Barton.”

15.Complete Island Hopping Guided Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 54 reviews · 8 hours · from $53

Review of Coron's 8-hour island-hopping tour, with Kayangan Lake, lagoons, reefs, beaches, lunch, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“Over priced rip off. Get my guide says starts at 8am but it was closer to 10am before we even set sail. Disgusting false advertising. Way more money than tours available in town. Price for the same tour everywhere is about 1000 peso cheaper. I asked many people who paid way less on my actual boat. This is a con. Get your ticket in Coron. Over crowded tour also. Starting at 8am would have beaten the crowds but everywhere was packed before we even set sail. It’s worth getting together some people and paying between you for a private tour. This is an over priced joke. I’ve traveled all over…”
