A day out with friends

“One of those days where nobody wanted to head back. Our guide knew these waters so well, he kept telling us which island we were looking at and what it was called. We just sat back and listened between swims.”

Lunch with a view

“Maam Manilyn met us at pickup herself and checked in through the whole day, right down to the ride back to town. Lunch beside the water was a nice part of it too. We sat down hungry after swimming and had a proper break before getting back on the boat.”

Good company, good food

“We came for the islands, but the service is what we keep talking about. Boats on time, food ready when we got there, nobody had to chase anyone for anything. Quality service from Travelbooks El Nido, start to finish.”

“Getting everyone together for this photo took a few tries! Looking back at it brings us straight back to that day on the water. Very glad we made time for island hopping.”

A swim between the cliffs

“The water really does look like this. Our guide knew exactly where it was safe to swim and when the tide would turn, so we just followed him. Photos are lovely, but being there is something else.”

A little beach time

Our favorite boat photo

“This might be our favorite photo from the trip. Maam Manilyn made sure we actually got it taken, then walked us back to the boat herself. From pickup to drop off, someone was always thinking of the small stuff.”

A family day by the sea

“Travelling with kids is easier when someone else handles everything. From pickup to drop off we never had to worry about a thing, and the guide kept the little ones entertained the whole way. Really happy we have this photo of us together.”

Under the coconut trees

“Our guide made the day, full of stories about the place and never once rushing us along. We stopped under the palms for a photo before heading back, and honestly did not want to.”
