“Drivers are always very very dangerous (its was raisins and 100km per hour on every turn in the Mountain...) the organisation should be more efficient with the différent options (mangrove zip line etc) driving to the zipline and driving back to the parking and driving again to the mangrove.. the underground river was amazing.”

6.Day Trip to El Nido and Island Hopping

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 33 reviews · 20 hours · from $360

Early van to El Nido from Puerto Princesa for lagoon and island hopping, snorkeling and kayaking gear, plus lunch, with a long drive.

“An amazing island-hopping experience with trained guides and well-organized transport. The islands and lagoons were breathtaking, making this tour truly unforgettable. However, transportation could have been better. The shared van had 12 people, making it quite uncomfortable. Had we known, we would have opted for a better transport option. The biggest letdown was the vegetarian lunch. All we were offered were cut cucumbers and fruits, which was disappointing. Since vegetarianism is still a new concept in the Philippines, I highly recommend vegetarians pack their own meals. Aside from these minor issues, the rest of the tour was fantastic. The island-hopping adventure and exploring the beauti...”

Cebu day trip with Osmeña Peak views and Kawasan Falls canyoneering, including hotel pickup, licensed guides, safety gear, and lunch.

“We did the Osmeña Peak and Kawasan Falls with Zip Line. Highly recommend both. The peak had a lot of clouds but we stuck around and saw a beautiful view after the clouds parted. The hike was short but very slippery. I would highly recommend using hiking boots. You can rent walking sticks there, which I would recommend as well. Kawasan Falls and the Zip Line were a blast. Definitely do the Zip Line. Just a heads up, you need to hop on the back of a motorcycle in order to get up to the Zip Line. It is pretty short so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Our…”
