Recommended - We had a fantastic experience with James away from the crowds of tourists. He explained everything to us from the start and catered to our needs. The lunch afterwards was also delightful, a completely new experience. The fish we caught and the chicken were grilled over the fire, and James prepared everything with love. We can highly recommend this tour.

A perfect and unique experience in El Nido - This was a fantastic full day experience with real local fishermens on their boat. They know the places to get great catches and the lunch with the grilled fishes on a small island is an absolute to-do if you want something really genuine and outside the usual tourist tour. Boat scaled for up to 4 people, we were only 2 which was ideal. James and the other fisherman were very nice, friendly people to discuss with and they also cook very well ! For sure one the best souvenir I'll comeback with.

Unforgettable Fishing Day in Palawan - Lagum Adventure’s fishing with a local fisherman was the highlight of our trip. We cruised past stunning islands, learned simple local techniques, and caught our own fish—grilled fresh for lunch on a pristine beach. The crew was friendly, safe, and knew all the best spots. Beautiful scenery, delicious meal, genuine local experience—definitely worth the price!

Mixed feelings. On one... - Mixed feelings. On one hand, the trip itself was good, the boat crew was knowledgeable. On the other hand, there were no life jackets provided. At all. Just no such option available. That made the trip super stressing for my wife, who's not a swimmer and crossing deep water in a very small boat without the life jacket was a disaster for her. Once the tour operator finds a couple of life vests, the tour will be a real five-start experience.
