There is no way you'll be able to visit all the islands in the Philippines but your best chance is with a tour like this! You'll get some great pictures... I'd even recommend booking 2 or 3 island day tours as there are so many islands to see! Worth every penny!

This is a 3.5 = Pretty good. the guides were kind and resourceful. For the price this was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, the snorkling and island were beautiful. The guides did not actually know much about the islands or the environment, but were good people who need jobs. The boat was leaking diesel and they had to repair the engine several times. I didn't blame them, but the tour operator definitely needs more sustainable boats, it just does not make sense to send gas leaking, oily boats out into such beauty. Tourists - take a bit more time and find the highest rated green and in terms of guide training!

Booked our trip through Klook ang it's super easy! Just folow the instructions and u are good to go! The place us majestic and full of knowledge about the history of what transpired in Corregidor. All guests will be taken into a Tram Bus with a designated tour guide! My suggestion is to wear comfortabl clothes and keep yourself hydrated.. The views were spectacular and the historical details will leave you at awe. This is a worthy trip but the lunch food can be improved. We had Mae as our tour guide and she is enthusiastic in explaining things and even showed us some photos of what the structures looked like before.

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

I wanted to book this trip quickly as it was late and the trip was to depart the following day. I read on the Tripadvisor Ad "You'll get picked up" and assumed that meant they would pick us up at AT THE HOTEL! The ad is misleading. It also says "all-Inn" which does not mean all inclusive of hotel pick up which is implied when "all in " is mentioned - again misleading advertising. I have asked for a refund but naturally, I have not heard back. We ended up doing the same trip using information provided by the hotel staff and ended up having a great day on our own which I would highly recommend. So basically we paid twice for this trip which meant we had to forgo another planned trip two day later. My advice is 1. Ask locals for directions and simply go to the port in Cebu and make your way by ferry to Bohol. There are dozens of cars waiting to drive you around in luxury and stopping where you want to stop for as long as you like. 2. Ask the locals for advice and directions - they are wonderful. Bohol is beautiful and you wont regret the visit.
