Arlyn Expeditions Travel and Tours

What a great tour! Arlyn works very hard to make sure her guests are taken care of. The tour itself was similar to other agencies in town but the service is what made this one stand out. Our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make the guests happy. We had a great crew both days and loved the destinations. Please use this agency in coron!

We did the Escapade Tour and while we enjoyed the islands, we thought the tour was very unorganized. First of all, the pick-up was late. They said 8-8:30am but they actually came around 9am. By the time they were done picking everyone up it was already around 10 and then another half an hour waiting on the boat. We reached the first island at 11:30am! Since there was a lot of sailing involved we were only allowed 40-45 minutes on every island. And it’s because of their poor time management! The tour guide did not communicate with us at all. He barely spoke English and we were left wondering the whole time where we were going or what was going on. The food was just okay. They served grilled fish, adobo, veggies and watermelon. All in all, I think 1200 per person was alright considering we couldn’t have done the trips to those islands by ourselves but customer service, time management and organization all need improvement.

Mixed feelings with this booking. We booked the super ultimate tour for 1400 per person. The agency staff was friendly but seems to say just yes to everything we asked. Pick up worked fine, but then we had to wait on the boat for over an hour till we started the tour. It was not well organized. Two people had to switch boats after boarding and the advertised free kayaks was one kayak for 12 people. This caused frustration among the participants although you didn't really need it during the tour (like in El Nido with big lagoon). Once the tour had started the guides took very good care of us and we had a good time. The visited places were a bit crowded but the nature was amazing. Also fresh cooked lunch was good. Beside the part with the agency we recommend the tour.

We loved our Super Ultimate tour with Arlyn! Hotel pick up/drop off was great and super convenient. We switched boats a couple of times before taking off in the morning, but we still got to see all the sites so we weren't in any rush. Most of the places (except for Twin Lagoon) were nice and clear of crowds. The snorkelling was definitely better than El Nido - heaps of living coral and a huge amount of beautiful sea creatures. Lunch was served buffet style and offered a range of meats, seafood, salad and fruit - even coca cola! Boat ride was also super smooth, so safe for those who might get sea sick. Major plus was that boats mostly docked to piers at each site, so there wasn't any need to swim out/into boats like the El Nido tours! Happy smiley tour guide and music on board was awesome! Overall a really great trip!! Paid 1400P per person. Highly recommend.

We booked a three days expedition from Coron to El Nido. The crew was really taking care of giving us the best possible experience. We felt they were genuinely caring about us enjoying our time. The weather forced them to modify the original plan, but we were informed and they tried their best to compensate for the missed parts of the trip
