Great Private Tour A! - Had an awesome day out with our guide Jo on Tour A today. We booked the tour the day before and received confirmation pretty quickly, and Jo picked us up at our hotel right on schedule as promised. We were taken to the beach and got our fins for snorkeling then hopped on the boat and were off. All the stops were great, and because we did a private tour we didn't have to wait for 20-30 other people to get off or on every time we had a stop, or deal with other people's pace or limitations. It was so nice to go at our own pace. Jo offered information and assistance throughout the day and showed us some great sights, and was very helpful. We ordered a vegetarian lunch which was provided as promised and was very good....we ate it on the boat docked in a nice quiet spot with beautiful scenery all around. We saw tons of beautiful fish snorkeling and spent time relaxing on 7 Commando Beach with almost nobody around. Then later, just as it started to get crowded, we left so were almost always away from the crowds...and that's exactly how we like it. And the weather was perfect! I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, especially with Jo as our guide. Highly recommend the private Tour A if it's your first time in El Nido.

Memories to keep forever - Fantastic way to explore the islands! A private tour is perfect as you don’t have to make small talk with strangers (a holiday is a break after all) and you get to chat with the crew and have the best time! Manuel and the crew were so great I requested them for the next day too. Manuel told me a little about each destination, came snorkelling with me, joined me on the kayak and took some great photos (he’s also a good singer!) and the crew took me to a more quiet beach for lunch close to the usual one. This was extra fun as I had some chilled quiet time in the sun (we’d had a bit of rain earlier!) and I met some local people on their holiday and chatted to some kids who wanted to practice their English which was such a lovely experience you wouldn’t get on a group tour. The crew were all very kind, even with little things like washing sand out my towel in the sea, making suggestions on timings to avoid crowds and I could go completely at my own pace. Highly recommend as a way to do your A but with a more special experience!

He's a wealth of information and has such an amazing disposition. He timed everything so perfectly that we missed all the crowds😃. I HIGHLY recommend asking for him .... you won't be disappointed!

Boat tour - My mom and I had an unforgettable experience on the boat tour A! The crystal-clear waters, stunning limestone cliffs, and vibrant marine life made it feel like paradise. The crew was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the islands and local culture. We had the chance to swim, snorkel, and relax on beautiful beaches that felt untouched by time. This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of El Nido from a unique perspective! Thanks you for our tour guide Alvin and all the team 😇

Wonderful experience, private tour A - We had a wonderful day with Jhan and his crew. The big Lagoon and snorkeling were the highlights of our day. They also took some fabulous photos of the four of us during the day. We loved the fact that we booked the private tour, and the boat was a bit faster than others, so were able to get to places a bit faster. All in all, a brilliant day, would definitely book again with them.

Horny places but unpleasant guide - We had a good experience with Lagum Adventures with other tours. But this one was quite bad. We have a Highlight Ultimate Tour (mixture of Tour A and C). In the end it was a Tour A, at least they gave us the prize for Tour A. That used to be good. The tour per se was great, the Lagoons are just awesome. But the problem was more the crew. A teenager picks us up at reception from the hotel and walks to the beach. He speaks practically no English, doesn't look at ubs at all, sits on the beach and makes us understand that we have to wait for the boat. 20 minutes, no problem either. It turns out he is the son of the effective guide who has already been on the boat with the captain. But the Sohm will serve us as a guide. All nice and no problem with it, but he hardly talked and if he did, then you really understood NOTHING. You couldn't ask a question because he didn't understand it either. For food you really looked for the ugliest place on such great beaches, placed a table there (was full of waste the beach) and we were told: just do it. Sleep, we're not leaving for 1h30. Okay, but what are we supposed to do? In the end horny places but very tedious communication with the guide. It is certainly a personal matter/opinion but we felt uncomfortable. Opposite Coron, here the atmosphere was more on mass tourism (in our opinion).
