(Jan 10, 2012) I've done Tours B1, B2, C and G, combining island hopping with snorkeling and beach bumming. All those tours were fun and budget-friendly with a professional boat crew ready to extend assistance. It was an excellent occasion to meet new people who I ended up hanging-out with after the tour.

Just a few years back, visiting the islands would mean chartering a boat and paying all the island fees. They amounted to a couple of thousands. Now, you get 6 island destinations including island fees and a sumptuous lunch for a very reasonable P650! Big thumbs up to Al and Mae Linsangan for making Coron a backpacker-friendly destination.
