Great tour. Tour guide... - Great tour. Tour guide communicated clearly before the tour; engaging and very knowledgeable. Stops for swimming and snorkeling were fantastic; very clear water. Also got to understand island life during those stops. Lunch was sufficient on the boat. Started very early but ended before 4pm.

It was fun. - There's a reason to leave early in the morning, and other tours allow you to enjoy nature before the island gets crowded. The guides are there to make sure the group members are comfortable, so there is nothing to worry about if you join alone. There was nothing awkward about not having to pay anything extra besides the tour fee. You can enjoy a pleasant day!

Hop into One Big Aquarium! - Experience was superb! Specially stop at Nalusuan Island, we did swimming there. It’s almost like I went down to a big aquarium. It was really breathtaking experience.
Our tour guide was Mae! She was super cool, made sure our tour goes smoothly.
For those who seeking a chill & relaxing trip, definitely, you should go for island hopping.

Nice Cruise around the Islands - Elvira and the crew were excellent and were very attentive for all our needs.
Lunch was nice and the islands were very chilling however due to low tide we couldn’t do much swimming.

Fun Family Snorkeling Experience - Overall great experience learning a bit about life on the smaller islands near Cebu and enjoying some fun snorkeling in the clear waters. Our guide Kenn was very friendly and knowledgeable. Group size was perfect as we were just under a dozen on the boat so we didn't overwhelm the locations like some of the larger boats did.

3 island hop day trip with snorkelling - This is a good option to visit a few different islands, snorkel and see some amazing fish, coral, starfish and get away from the busy city. As a group tour there are other pick ups on the way and traffic is always busy so expect a good hour or more travelling to and from the port.
The bus driver was very helpful and stopped at a 7-11 store so people could get drinks/breakfast snacks as the picks ups began at 6am. Mae was our guide once we got to the port. Super friendly and informative, she explained how the day would plan out and what we would be doing at each location. The boat men were very kind and helped people on and off the boats via the gang plank. We were in a newer faster boat so it took about 15 mins to each island. First one we didn’t access the island but dropped anchor and snorkelled all around. The next island we did walk all around. Amazing starfish, as we walked along the pier then we could snorkel again, these were shallower warmer water with such a variety of colourful fish.
We went back in our boat to enjoy lunch before taking a little boat to the last island. This is more a small section of the island to walk around with some tourist stalls but a great sandbank where you could walk with starfish and find lots of cool shells. If you wanted to just relax on the main big boat you could choose to do that too or swim as on this last island it’s too shallow to swim.
Overall great day out to experience the islands and sea life and Mae and the whole boat and driver team made us all very welcome.

Nalusuan marine sanctuary was the highlight of this trip - Unfortunately our boat broke down after our first stop at Gilutongan marine sanctuary - and we had to wait 1.5 hours for it to be fixed ! 😩 The next stop at Nalusuan marine sanctuary was wonderful - shallow waters with so many colourful fish (including nemo 😃) - the next stop at Caohagen island - was interesting walking through the pretty little village but 1.5 hours a little too long there (only needed to be half hour) - unfortunately the break down of the boat tainted our experience and made to overall trip too long
