Great El Nido introductory tour - My partner and I did Tour A as our first private tour from Lagum Adventures. Tour A has a little bit of everything. One of the locations is kayaking and another snorkeling. We really enjoyed snorkeling and decided to book the next tour to do more snorkeling.
Jonathan was a great tour guide. He was on the quiet side but we enjoyed him because it made the tour feel more private. He had a lot of information and was able to answer our questions. He took a lot of photos of us and knew all the good angles.
The lunch was a bento box type lunch and they have different options (grilled fish, grilled pork, shrimp, and vegetables and pancit). They also provide a bottled water and a soda.
We’ve had great success with the private tours from Lagum Adventures and would definitely recommend the private tour and Jonathan as a tour guide!

Recommended private A Tour Lagum - We did the A Tour as a private tour and Jonathan and his crew did a wonderful job. We were in the Big Lagoon before the crowds, could decide when we wanted to move on, could fly our drone and had a really sweet vegetarian lunch in a private mini bay.
While snorkeling we saw turtles and clown fish, we would definitely recommend the private tour with Jonathan to anyone! Thank you to the whole crew for the great day!

Great experience! - We had 2 combinated private tours with Lagum (A+B then C+D).
We’ve particularly appreciated the second Day with wonderful and not crowded beaches.
After the first tour, we requested the same boat team for the second day because of the guys were great especially Alvin, very friendly tour guide, who explained everything very well.
The food was good and they satisfied my vegan request.

The private tour is worth it - The private tour was amazing! Jonard, our tour guide, Capt Nelson, and Jonar, asst to the captain, were very professional and accommodating through out the whole day. Jonard took extra care of my senior mother who needs help getting around on the beaches and on the boat. There’s a lunch menu with about 5 different menus (vegetarian included) that you’ll be contacted about the day before to make a selection. Having a private tour is worth it since you can depart earlier than the masses in the morning and have alternate routes to avoid the crowds.

Amazing couple days with Ryan - Had the most amazing 2 days with Ryan and his team. I saw Ryan’s name on Trip Advisor and specifically requested if he could be our tour guide
We had booked a private tour A and B
Upon meeting Ryan, he told us of some “off the beaten track” stops we may want to swap out and essentially we had 2 days of our own schedule and couldn’t have been happier
Ryan was great with us, and always knew the best photo stops
Very friendly and made us feel at ease and let us do things at our own pace (which is what you want in a private tour)
Also - was great being able to get picked up directly on our beach (Seda Lio) and also Ryan suggesting a 7am start to avoid the crowds at Big Lagoon

Great island and lagoon tour - Jonathan was our very accommodating guide on the tour, nothing was too much trouble for him and the crew. Lovely day and superb scenery and adventure. The lagoons and beaches are sensational, lunch was good and the activities kayaking and snorkelling were good fun.
We booked the tour through el nido paradise, they didn’t communicate all the details prior to the trip, they should tell you the only drinking water provided is a small bottle with lunch, also some confusion over fins being included or not. Better to go direct to the operator.
