“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.”

Our tour guide and boat crew were all lovely though and made the trip more enjoyable”

“We did the private tour with Step from Corazon Travel & Tours and he was like a professor the way he educated us about the Palawn Islands and wildlife. He also went way above and beyond his duties as he stayed with us after the tour to show us how to get to downtown Puerto Princessa from Honda Bay. The islands were absolutely beautiful and of all the tours we did in Palawan this one had the best lunch. We were surrounded by colorful, beautiful fish during our snorkeling session and Step even pointed out 3 giant clams that were an endangered species. It was quite a sight to see…”
