4.Coastal Cliffs, Beach & Malcapuya Island Hopping Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 86 reviews · 6 - 8 hours · from $45

“Una bella attività ma forse sarebbe stato meglio fornire ai clienti dell’acqua in bottiglia invece che in una tanica in condivisione (infatti nessuno ha bevuto). A nice activity but perhaps it would have been better to provide customers with single bottles of water instead of a shared container (in fact no one drank).”

“Over priced rip off. Get my guide says starts at 8am but it was closer to 10am before we even set sail. Disgusting false advertising. Way more money than tours available in town. Price for the same tour everywhere is about 1000 peso cheaper. I asked many people who paid way less on my actual boat. This is a con. Get your ticket in Coron. Over crowded tour also. Starting at 8am would have beaten the crowds but everywhere was packed before we even set sail. It’s worth getting together some people and paying between you for a private tour. This is an over priced joke. I’ve traveled all over…”

He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing photographer who captured beautiful memories for us. Armand, the captain, and his assistant (they called him Aquaman or Spiderman) were awesome — fun, helpful, and made the trip feel safe and enjoyable with their great teamwork. The only thing missing was bottled water for the guests, which would’ve been nice on such a hot day. Other than that, it was a perfect adventure. Highly recommended to book your trip with Bong —…”
