We are well aware of the breathtaking beauty of our coral reef, and we love to share it. And to do it to the best of our ability: that’s why we choose the best spots, we visit them when few other boats are around and also we equip our guests with good quality snorkeling gear and enough time so they have the opportunity to maximum enjoyment. Out guide has been trained to show and tell the different species of fish and how they interact with their environment . This way you will see the way of life of the clown fish and their host the carpet anemone, or the goby and it’s host tunneling shrimp, or the cleaning wrasse and everyone around it. Having and sharing a little booklet on the fish around it's one of the most useful tools too, perfect for review and maximum understanding of the reef interactions. We guarantee that you will see and appreciate our reef like you have never done before.
We understand food as the expression of the community’s history together with their environment. When we prepare the daily nourishment we think not only in maximum quality and the happiness of customers, but also as an opportunity to enjoy as a cultural experience. Each one of our meals will present one or two dishes inspired in the people’s that have populated our land through centuries and left their imprint in our national food indeed. Because of this, the meals on the expedition do follow a couple of aims: 1. Locally sourced and collected from non depleted environs. 2. The meals would be culturally coherent with the local traditions of the peoples of the Palawan archipelago: Malayan Filipino, indigenous tagbanwa, indigenous badjao, colonial Spanish, Chinese mestizo and Muslim malayan cuisine.
My advice would be to join these amazing expeditions fron Coron to El Nido, just stunning the beauty around. The people that run this specific tour, I was impressed how much effort and attention to detail they have. Sadly it’s not a luxury trip, in my case (and at my age) I prefer rooms with private bathroom and AC, but the tour it’s definitely amazing value for money, and everything was ever so clean, and the snorkeling definitely the best I have ever seen. Highly recommended for this kind of budget.

I like it so much the fact that our guide was so helpful, specially when snorkeling because I’m not very good at swimming in open seas. But the guy was helping me and pulling my life jacket when needed. Also the way he explained to everyone the different fishes we were about to see and their interactions with the coral reef. This was my particular highlight, but I also enjoyed the amazing beaches, the food was so yummy that only for this the price it’s paid! I also enjoyed the beach camps with different activities and stories, and the evening free drinks. It was a wonderful experience both for me and my boyfriend. The only suggestion I might have it’s that there is not enough Wi-Fi connection (although it’s true that we were sailing through tiny island with little or not population). Also being able to recharge your phone more often would be helpful too. But overall I highly recommend this trip, specially at this amazing price.
Russia
Yessss, 100% recommend. Very personal service, stunning landscapes, reefs, sunsets and bonfire. Good drinks too, all inclusive. Good vibes with the rest of the travelers too, probably the crew helps into that too.

5 stars! I’ve been traveling for several months with two friends and this is definitely our highlight in Southeast Asia. Just to point out two little details: I did need some first AID because a small cut, and they have a pretty complete box and looked after me. Also I was impressed when they brought up a print of the local fish in the reef so we can check them out in more detail and learn how they interact. Beautiful. Also the after dinner party, drums and all that. Did enjoy a lot.
