Review of El Nido Island Hopping Tour to the Best Beaches & Stunning Caves with Lunch

Our Tour B island-hopping experience was absolutely amazing! 🌊🏝️ Even though we were 30 minutes late for the call time, they patiently waited for us without any issues. The crew was super accommodating, making sure everyone felt comfortable on the boat. The food was fantastic—plenty of snacks and a delicious lunch that was more than enough for our group of 17 pax. The black snapper fish was incredibly fresh, and they even provided drinks like water and Coke to keep us refreshed. 🍽️🐟🥤 A special shoutout to the boatman, who went above and beyond by offering to kayak while I held onto a floatie so I could snorkel—even though I don’t know how to swim! 🏊‍♂️✨ That was such a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more memorable. Plus, the team’s fluency in English and French made everything smooth for us as foreign travelers. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting El Nido—it’s an unforgettable adventure with a top-notch crew! 🚤🌞
