Awesome tours with Hopspot Tours! - We took a private customized tour a and c for 2 days with Hopspot tours. They are beyond expectation! They are one step ahead most especially RAM Dulay who was with us on both days anticipating our wants and needs and taking fabulous photos! The owner Dave is also awesome providing us all our needs. Truly a very reliable company to book!

Worthwhile and highly recommend the tour. - There was a miscommunication with the meeting location, but it was resolved with the help from another vendor. The boat crew was the best!!! They were attentive to everyone’s needs. The tour was fun and memorable.

Crystal clear water and lots of fish - Really enjoyed this tour to 5 destinations. Be careful when booking as the 1,200 is just the starting price they tap on environment fee, lunch, snorkel etc so ends up 1,600 so shop around as they are all the same boats Big lagoon was outstanding (300 for kayak) Take cash so as there are vendors at each place Lunch was pretty good.

Amazing - I had a great time and the tour guides were really nice and accommodating. To kuya dolphy, ryan, jeffrey and kuya (I forgot his name) thank you for taking care of us and for making sure we had fun and were safe all through out! (Winter Spring 2, Oct. 23, 2023 Jhanna’s tour)

El Nido adventure - The boat men make the trip. We had a very funny guide. Bring lots of sun screen, have a water bag to keep your stuff dry. Beware of large rocks so you will need water shoes. Lunch is provided, but bring some pesos because you will have the opportunity to buy drinks and snacks.

Must-do if you visit El Nido - Incredible experience and great value for money. The guys were great at making sure we all enjoyed our time island hopping, especially Aldin and AJ. The locations are stunning and well preserved and protected. This is a must-do if you are in Palawan

A good tour to sample some of the beaches - The crew was great but started late waiting for the coast guard clearance. The stops were enough time to enjoy the location. The tour guide was very helpful and really helped the other passangers who were not strong swimmers. I was travelling by myself and had a great tine

More extra expenses than spots - Did tour A, it was okay, very crowded and nothing really special. The lagoon was really cool, the other locations were rather boring :/ the stated costs are far from correct, easily add another 50%. Kayak and snorkeling equipment are not included, if you don't want to spend another 400 pesos you can stay on the boat, swimming is also forbidden ;) But the people on the boat are very polite and in a good mood, there is no criticism there.

Really horrible - It obviously depends on what you are looking for... This is a mass tourism activity, and you will understand that right from the beginning when the boats Will be queuing to pick up their customers on the beach. You will spend your day on a crowded boat with people who can't swim but take selfies compulsively, with guides who clap their hands and feet to amuse the previously mentioned customers. On top of that you will be kind of rushed at each stop. The lunch on the beach will end up being a lunch on the boat as the beach is already packed with tourists from other boats. Don't expect beautiful landscapes like in the photos you see ! Yes you will see what's on show on the brochures/postcards but add to it thousands of tourists, hundreds of kayaks and boat packed with tourists. At some point the see is more orange form the multitude of life jackets than blue how it should be. If anything the food on board was really good 👍. To summarize if you're looking for something authentic then run away from these A,B,C,D tours, and from El Nido in general.

No more lunch buffet - Islands of El Nido are still one of the best in the world. But you cannot enjoy them when you're hungry. Local government removed the lunch buffet where they cook the food in the boat and enjoy them on the beach. Instead, you have to bring your OWN food for the trip which has to pass the food inspection. Worst, the tour fee remains the same even without food. Imagine all day in the beautiful islands of El Nido with chicken sandwich. Sad!! Avoid El Nido Tours for now. There are lots of island in Palawan like Coron that you can visit in the meantime.
