Did the 3 day trip was an amazing experience even the boat broke down and we got stranded for an extra day in paradise I have to give it 5 stars. I was on the same boat as Maia who already left a terrible review here and I want to clarify the truth. My experience was the same as Maia . Even in her own review she says she enjoyed the tour and the food the crew were amazing but she hates the owner. Don't listen to her review she was only angry because the owner refused to give her a free trip. After the boat broke down She tried to get everyone to threaten the owner with bad reviews if he didn't give us all a free trip. She really enjoyed everything the same as all of us just she wanted to get the trip for free and I and the others refused to go along with the scam.

The tour was great. We went through the Linapacan Island chain I never even heard of it before. A real jaw dropper. We did some spear fishing and cliff jumping,. Beautiful huts right on the beach with free rum and juice at night to get the ball rolling. The food as amazing and I loved Captain Nestor he was so funny.

Be prepared to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no connection and no idea of when rescue will arrive if you chose to take this tour from coron to el nido.
From start to finish the communication from brendon was absolutely appalling.
When our boat broke down we called him multiple times with no answer and 4 hours later when we did get through were told ‘it was all part of the experience’ ?!?!?!?!? His wife was also too busy to help as she was on vacation in manila with the money we gave them.
No words can describe how disgusting this man is, from the way he treats his staff to his own paying customers. Who told him he can come into a country he wasn’t born in and exploit the local people? The staff are literally treated like slaves on salaries below AUD$50 for the entire 3 days whilst we pay AUD$410 and he sits happily on money that he by no way deserves.
It’s honestly so sad because the local staff do go above and beyond to make this trip amazing for you, and even when our engine stopped working and the boat broke down they still found multiple ways to entertain us, but they are so terrified of the owner they didn’t even want to call and ask for a rescue boat.
WHO TOLD THIS MAN HE WAS EVER SUPERIOR TO ANYONE?
He forces them to sleep on tables or the sand or the boat whilst empty huts and tents are available.
He is such a sick sick man. Honestly Brendon I hope you get all the karma you deserve you are a twisted cruel disgusting human being.
And to the staff on board our boat, we send all our love to you, please run far away and as quickly as you can from this man. He is the devil reincarnated walking free.
Honestly do not give this man any of your money PLEASE.
