Kayak Bohol’s Abatan River mangrove tunnels at dusk, then watch synchronous Philippine fireflies and eat a home-cooked Filipino dinner.
“My mangrove tour experience at Kayakasia in Maribojoc was nothing shy of fantastic! 🥰🌴 Raymark was a gracious, welcoming host who met me upon arrival, oriented me to the tour schedule and eco conservation mission of these wonderfully talented and resourceful folks. Vince was a knowledgeable, generous, and thoughtful kayak instructor/tour guide who enlightened me about the life cycle of the mangrove…the daytime mangrove tour was very informative and stunning to behold up close! The nighttime firefly watching tour was nothing short of spectacular and magical… and a much needed therapeutic escape from the urban pace of my trip that started in Cebu City. Finally, the creative and conservation ta...”
Sunset kayak through Coron’s lagoons and hidden beaches, with a safety-focused guide, possible snorkeling, and bioluminescent plankton.
“Our tour guide was professional and pleasant. We appreciated the recommendations and kayaking tutorial. We’ve all kayaked before but his instructions were helpful, especially during the evening hours. We never felt rushed, the tea, coffee, and snacks were delicious and was the fuel we needed for our journey back. We enjoyed our experience immensely and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a less crowded adventure under the moon light!!”
Crystal Kayak phot-op in Boracay. Small group, English guide, 10 to 15 minute ride, pro photo help. Short, fun, great value.
“Kompletter Reinfall. Die Agentur vor Ort kann man weder finden, noch kennt sie jemand. Wir haben ewig gesucht, um dann festzustellen es gibt keine Agentur. Der angebliche Guide kam dann auch 30 minuten zu spät. Es wurde alles storniert und wir bekamen unser Geld zurück. Das gleiche fotoshootin kostet vor Ort 2€.”
Kayak Bohol’s Abatan River mangrove tunnels with local guides, small groups, included transport, gear, snacks, and conservation fees for $64.
“Très agréable ballade en kayak dans la mangrove, au calme. Le guide était très sympa, donne des explications à chaque arrêt et discute facilement. Le repas après était vraiment bon et en quantité suffisante. Rien à redire, bien au contraire.”
Kayak Coron’s north coast to lagoons and quiet coves, snorkel colorful reefs, then eat lunch on a secluded beach with a guide.
“vam fer la excursió amb el Julius, i va ser el tour que ens va agradar més era expectacular. Vam anar amb kayak per Coron passant per llocs increïbles on nomes s'hi pot accedir amb kayak. Racons amagats, tranquils, sense gent, envoltats d'una natura impressionant. Tot estava perfectament organitzat: ens portaven el menjar fins allà així que només ens vam haver de preocupar de gaudir del moment. una experiencia totalment unica, auntentica i super recomanable per a tothom. Sobretot si vols descobrir llocs especials fora de les rutes més turistiques. ho recomanem 100%.”
8-hour Palawan tour from Puerto Princesa: UNESCO Underground River paddle, mangroves by community guide, Tamilok tasting, and lunch.
“Mediocre. I posti incredibili ma le guide mettevano molta fretta e non abbiamo potuto goderci a pieno il nostro tour.”
Pick the island first. The boat sorts itself out.
