We got picked up as described, took us to the meeting point at SeaTravel Palawan where we were instructed for the tour and also recommended to rent the snorkling mask and aquashoes which are worth it if you dont have your own (P200.00 per person for both supplies). We got in the boat and started our journey to the C tour which we liked because all agencies have the same tours and same prices but KKJ Services gives you the option to forget about extra fees because they are already included. Only additional fee would be up to you if you want to rent…”
