Island hopping · SNORKELING TRIPS IN THE PHILIPPINES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 snorkeling trips in the Philippines worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to check before you pay.
Spend up to 4.5 hours boating around Boracay with an English or Tagalog guide. Swim at Puka Beach, snorkel at Coral Garden and Crocodile Island, eat a local buffet, then choose Magic Island cliff jumps or Crystal Cove. Guides such as Mark, Justine, Edgar, and Patti are known for attentive service and photos.
“Would have preferred to stay on Puka Beach for longer”
Spend about five hours sailing from Astoria Station 1 to nearby islands, with swimming, snorkeling, Crystal Cove, and a buffet of grilled meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. English-speaking guides such as Monda and Lyn assist with photos, safety, and the day’s stops.
“Excellent tour. Monda super awesome of everything during our tour. Ensuring we get the best 📸 and experience. Answering all my questions etc. Best experience I had since being back to PI.”
Spend four hours on a private Boracay boat with an English or Tagalog-speaking guide such as Edgar, Mark, or Camille. Snorkel at Coral Garden and Crocodile Island, visit Puka Beach and Crystal Cove, and finish with a local seafood BBQ lunch. You set the pace, subject to weather and sea conditions.
“Everything we expected island hopping, swimming with the fish. Then at the end an amazing buffet of sea food. couldn't of asked for more. You get the most out of the trip if you schedule a private trip. The extra cost was totally worth it. Our guide took photos with my phone and theirs. Only issue we had was we didn't receive the extra photos he took using his phone.”
Spend eight hours on a private boat visiting Helicopter Island, Talisay Beach, Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, and Star Beach. Guides such as Joshua, Alvin, Olsin, Jun, and Dan have been praised for friendly service and safety care. Lunch, water, and hotel-area pickup are included, but gear and fees cost extra.
“Nuestra experiencia no fue muy buena, primero porque nos cambiaron el itinerario debido al tiempo y nos dijeron que iríamos a otros lugares, y nos redujeron a tres lugares a visitar, una vez en el barco nos dijeron que a uno de los lugares tampoco podríamos ir. Luego al llegar a la laguna tuvimos que dar la vuelta porque había muchísima gente y no habían kayak, y fuimos a otro lugar para luego volver más tarde a la laguna… la embarcación no posee kayak y hay que bajar a la playa únicamente nadando o pisando los corales, a la hora de comer nuestra tripulación preparó la comida y nos sugirieron…”
By hull, by landing, by how long you want to be out.
