Review of Puerto Princesa’s Underground River day trip, including boat rides, cave time, lunch, wait times, add-ons, costs, and booking advice.
“DO NOT BUY the zip line it’s a scam . You will have to walk uphill for 2miles (4.7km) the whole walk to get to the zip line is 40 minutes and the you also have to walk back. Their will be no water during this whole hike uphill though the hot forest.”

Review of Port Barton from Puerto Princesa, with island hopping, snorkeling, turtles, BBQ lunch, costs, transport tips, and honest drawbacks.
“alors activité moyenne dans l'ensemble.Le transport e van partage etait totalement horrible à l'aller:le chauffeur conduisait tres vite et etait anxiogèn.Un trajet stressant et horrible.Pour le retour,un peu mieux mais les chauffeurs conduisent vraiement trop vite. concernant l'activité,je n'ai ete pris en compte par aucun guide,juste placer parmi un groupe de personnes. Sur le tour en lui meme,pas trop mal mais les étoiles de mer ont l'air morte et nous n'avons pas vu ou tres peu vu de tortues. bref,beaucoup de routes et de grosses prises de risques pour une activité moyenne.A eviter ou à faire directement depuis Port Barton.”

Hike Cebu’s Osmeña Peak, then swim, slide, and jump through Kawasan Falls with guides, gear, lunch, and hotel transfers included.
“Canyoning was well worth it…just amazing. Osmeña Peak was terrible, was just 15 minute walk, the foggy everywhere which is what it looks like every morning due to the climate. Not worth it, don’t do it in the morning…check when the hike is before you do it.”
Swim with Moalboal turtles, watch the sardine run, and cool off at 98-meter Mantayupan Falls on this private Cebu day trip.
“Overall the experience was cool, but that had less to do with the tour provider and guides than the actual activity itself. We had a driver/guides who spoke little English, if they even attempted to communicate. Little to no clarity around instruction. Our boat failed halfway through, but they got it working again. We were surprised to miss our third stop on the boat tour - again, no communication from the guides. The activities themselves were cool as hell, and the additional gopro purchase was well worth the money. The falls are gorgeous, and worth the addition. We really enjoyed it as a private tour with just us, and at…”

Review of Cebu to Bohol day trip with Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Loboc River lunch, ferry transfers, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Rio was a great guide with a wealth of information, thanks for stopping at the shops for us to get a jumper for the ferry ride home. Tarsier Sanctuary and the ATV ride was the highlight of the day. Couldn't believe at the end of the day we were given a basket of goodies, which keep us going on the rest of our trip to Cebu.”
Review of Cebu’s waterfall day trip to Inambakan, Kawasan, and Mantayupan, with swimming, transport, guides, costs, and practical tips.

See Bohol’s Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, churches, forests, and Loboc River on an organized Cebu day trip by fast ferry.
“Sehr schöner Ausflug. Tolle Organisation, nette Guides. Gerne wieder. Jedoch sollte man noch dazu anmerken, dass die Fahrt mit der Fähre nach Bohol ca. 2 Stunden dauert und auch die Fahrten zu den Koboldmakis und den Choclate hills je ca. 1 Stunde dauert. So dass man an den einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten nur ca. 20 Minuten Zeit hat. Gefühlt sind wir den ganzen Tag nur Bus und Fähre gefahren, dennoch möchten wir den Ausflug nicht missen müssen. :)”
Review of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar from Manila, with transport, colonial-era houses, calesa ride, extra costs, and practical booking advice.
“Overall, it was great! I believe we got our money’s worth!”
