Explore Coron’s Skeleton Wreck, Barracuda Lake and Twin Lagoon on an 8-hour boat tour with lunch, swimming and hotel pickup.

“The activity itself was really fun and the guide was excellent. We were lucky with the weather and found the water to be very clear. We only had 2 issues with the tour. Firstly, once we were picked up we were still waiting around for over an hour for the tour to start. Secondly, the extra cost for the kayak was quite a lot for the length of time on them. However, I would advise getting the kayaks as some locations require them. The tour was still great and these two issues didn’t impact our overall enjoyment of the tour!!”

Swim with turtles, watch for dolphins, snorkel Balicasag’s reefs, and visit Virgin Island Sandbar on a six-hour Bohol boat tour.

“We were very satisfied with the organisation and with the activities that we have during the trip. The agency contact us several times before, to be sure about the meeting point and to give us all necessary tips. Our super hosting and friendly guide Mark was waiting for us in the morning . There is no loosing of the time :) the main boat has one more smaller boat for faster transport on crowded spots n where the water is shallow. The adventure starts with the dolphins watching (don’t expect to see them every time) but you can enjoy in different activities as cruising with the boat on the sea,…”

Watch fireflies, bioluminescent plankton, sunsets, and city lights on a four-hour Puerto Princesa bay cruise with dinner.

“Cool experience w/ Corazon Travel & Tours for our Firefly Watching Bay Cruise with Dinner. Direct pick up from hotel; we had nice experience with wonderful guide/ driver: Kuyas Ed & Mark. Great initiative by Kuya Mark to place 2x Firefly inside a bottle for our close viewing, and then releasing them. Dinner was decent; as expected from creative arrangements by the locals.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 71 reviews · from $25

Review of Boracay’s $25 sunset cruise, with snorkeling, paddleboards, live music, massages, White Beach views, and practical booking tips.

“We booked this on our last night in Boracay. The sunset cruise was the best ending to our vacation. There was a lot of choices of activities while waiting for the sun to set. Snorkeling, kayaks, mermaid tails, massages or just relaxing and taking in the sites. I can't say this enough, but the guides were so welcoming and friendly.”
