“We had a great time snorkeling on dreamy beaches and in quaint fishing villages. The culinary service was excellent. From vegetarian dishes to fresh caught fish, everything was delicious! I can recommend a tour to anyone who is here to experience the islands in a relaxed manner.”
– Rafael Beck
“The private tour was so much more intimate then the big boats and the whole crew were incredible, the food was amazing, the places were heaven and we got to see the most amazing reefs, spear fishing and white sandy beaches. One of the best experiences of our lives.”
– Brady Nankervis
“We had the most amazing experience and the best couple of nights ever. We stopped at untouched beautiful beaches that looked to good to be true, had some of the most amazing snorkeling experiences of my life and had chill nights on the beach watching the stars.”
– Isabella Manganelli
“100% worth it! Don was a great expedition leader, keeping us safe and entertained. The food that Gerry (the chef) made was absolutely amazing and the crew was lovely. If you want to relax, live an adventure, and spend quality time with your family or friends, we highly recommend this activity with Don. Much better and intimate compared with the big boats. We will remember this trip forever!”
– Claudia Ramos
“It was an amazing experience! Don is a real ‘doer’, very experienced, and attentive to the group’s needs and wishes. The rest of the crew (3 people) were extremely kind and helpful, and the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the privacy compared to larger groups. Highly recommend!”
– Hans-Peter Haberlandner
“Great trip. The private tour was an awesome experience. Our 3 days with Don were incredible. We loved the spearfishing and eating what we fished. It was the best part of our trip. Absolutely recommend.”
– Lucas Azcue
“We had an amazing trip with Don! We took the 2 nights/3 days expedition El Nido to Coron with my mom and my sister and had a truly wonderful time. Don & the rest of the crew went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. Thank you for everything!”
– Amélie Noir
“The 3-day and 2-night experience with Don was a luxury. The expedition was completely incredible, and the guide put it together fantastically for us. He took us to the best and most secret places so as not to coincide with the rest of the tourists and gave us the flexibility to have a lot of adventure while relaxing. We would have loved to have been able to spend more days on the expedition with Don, absolutely essential on any trip to the Philippines.”
– Pablo Serratosa
“The expedition we did was absolutely amazing! The crew (Rodel, Edwin, Noi and Kier) took extermely good care of us, preparing delicious food, taking us to the best spots at the right moment in time. The camping sites were breathtaking. The trip was great fun, with all sorts of activities (including a basketball game with locals and fishing). Thanks soo much for such a great experience!”
– Garet Jax Fragiacomo
“We did a 4-day, 3-night tour with Don and the crew from Coron to El Nido. We were a group of 11 friends and therefore had the boat just for ourselves. Don was an excellent guide and we were even moved to leave at the end because the atmosphere and atmosphere during the cruise had been so good! One of the 3 nights was an “introduction to survival” so we learned how to make a fire, how to open coconuts without a machete, and slept in hammocks on an island just for us : unforgettable experience!
“For the next 2 nights we stayed in some sort of cabins on an island with a few other groups, no mass tourism, a slow-motion life which totally allowed us to connect with the environment with turquoise waters and to disconnect from screens and from the hectic pace of daily life!
“To top it all off, among the crew there was a chef and we had a great time throughout! I can only recommend this experience! Thanks again Don”

“There are a few companies for an island hopping tour between Coron and El Nido. So it was not easy for us to find the right one for us, but with “Abandon Paradise Expedition” it was definitely our best Experience to discover little islands and with a small and familiar group of only 7 persons. First of all, nobody was talking to each other. Only our Guide Quinterio Motin Jr. alias “JoJo” was informing us about the next highlights we would see and was joking to break the silence on the ship. With success, because after a while we got connected and find out that besides three Germans, two guys from France, one from the Netherlands and a girl from China were ready to discover beautiful islands and reefs.
“Jojo and his crew did a perfect job and besides all the highlights for our eyes, the food was really perfect. Fresh fish, vegetables and snacks (baked bananas) fits perfectly to the surroundings. Furthermore breakfast (pancakes) and drinks like ginger tee, water, cola and rum were included. By campfires with rum cola we had good conversations and the crew joined us to make a party on the last night.
“To say it in a short way: JoJo is a perfect Guide, Cook and Animateur and his Team of 4 cool guys made this trip unforgettable for us. Thank you very much!”
