We thoroughly enjoyed our 3D2N boat expedition with Sea Quests. Although our original tour date was cancelled, rescheduling for the following day was quick and effortless. The company also arranges onward travel into El Nido town at the end of the tour—I assume they offer the same for Coron if you’re heading that direction. The whole experience was close to flawless. The staff were incredible—fun, friendly, and a huge part of what made the trip so memorable. They were constantly checking that we were okay and gave their all into providing us with the best possible experience. We spent so much of the expedition laughing, and it was wonderful to truly switch off from our phones and the outside world for once—something that feels rare these days. Our fellow passengers were just as fantastic; we bonded quickly, and many of us even met up with the crew in El Nido afterwards for drinks. The food on board was outstanding. You definitely won’t go hungry with such a wide variety: chicken, curry, vegetables, potatoes, fish, pork, spring rolls, noodles, rice, pancakes, fresh fruit, and more. The tour also includes unlimited rum and gin (and yes, it really was unlimited if you wanted it), plus soft drinks like Coke, Sprite, water, and fruit juices. The boat itself was spacious—even with around 30 people on board, it never felt crowded. We loved the bean bags on the upper deck, and the speaker kept the vibe lively between island stops. Every stop offered something different: beaches, snorkelling spots, shipwrecks, volleyball, sandbars, and even a cliff-jumping site (although conditions were too rough for us to jump on our trip). The turquoise waters really are as stunning as the photos. It never felt repetitive. Each night’s accommodation was unlike anything we’ve experienced while travelling—simple but incredibly special, right by the sea. Evenings were spent enjoying karaoke, card games, chatting with everyone, and bonfires, with absolutely no pressure to participate or drink. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it. It was truly an unforgettable experience and a highlight of our 3-month backpacking trip in Asia!
An impressively arranged, extraordinary experience!!! First and foremost I would like to highlight the amount of professionalism and enthusiasm our tour guide Emerick and his crew put into taking care of us. Our experience was their number one priority; from taking us to the most beautiful islands between Coron and El Nido specifying the best places to snorkel and rest at each one, to carrying us by canoe whenever we got tired of swimming, to singing and dancing with us at night, and making us smile the entire way through. My gratitude goes out to you guys. Second, the activities, among which snorkeling/freediving/cliff jumping/canoeing/supboarding/beachwalks/volleyball/karaoke/etcetera, were perfectly arranged and spaced out in time, despite lesser weather conditions at times. Not to mention, the absolutely gorgeous locations at which these activities take place (after 3 weeks of traveling the philippines we were still amazed). In terms of food, this was by far the best philipino cuisine we have had in our 4 weeks stay in the Philippines. The buffet style breakfast/lunch/dinner was very diverse and differed each day. For those interested, they take allergies/vegans into account when preparing the food. Then, as for the ship, we had a very beautiful and practical 2 story boat, with plenty room to chill and hangout on, with comfortable bean bags and shade spots everywhere. Concerning the accommodations at which we stayed, they were more than fine, not the most luxurious but you have everything you need (toilet/shower/mosquito net/decently soft matress) and the locations we stayed at were absolutely outstanding. All in all, despite the somewhat hefty price tag (which is more than justified for what you get), the 3d2n coron-elnido with SeaQuest was more than worth it, so much so, that I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!
We did the 3D2N boat expedition with Sea Quest on recommendation from friends who had done it a year earlier. We had a fantastic time! Our boat was named the Seven Sisters and had a capacity of 30 people which I think would be a lot if fully booked; however our tour was only 10 people so plenty of space to enjoy (maybe best to avoid peak season if you can). Our route was Coron to El Nido, however they also run expeditions El Nido to Coron. Maybe best to confirm your expedition dates before flights and accommodation. Our tour guides King and Dexter were great, super knowledgeable about all our island stops and everything you'd need was accommodated. The food on board was awesome, you will be well fed, sampling a number of classic Filipino dishes. The activities on the expedition were mainly snorkelling and beach stops, the landscapes were awesome, it's a beautiful part of the world. Would definitely recommend going with Sea Quest!
An unforgettable 3-day island adventure! We had an amazing 3-day trip with El Nido Sea Quest, sailing from El Nido to Coron – and it was truly the highlight of our travels in the Philippines! The experience was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We explored countless beautiful islands, swam and snorkeled in crystal-clear waters, and saw incredible marine life at various snorkeling spots. Every stop felt like a hidden paradise. The accommodations each night were simple but very charming – staying in beach huts right by the ocean added to the whole island vibe. The food was delicious and fresh, with plenty of variety each day. What really made the trip special was the crew. They were super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone felt safe and had fun. They created a relaxed and positive atmosphere the whole time. If you're looking to truly enjoy the beauty of the Philippines, disconnect from the busy world, and have 3 days of pure island bliss – this is the trip for you. Absolutely recommended!
Our 3-day, 2-night cruise from Coron to El Nido with Sea Quest Expedition was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we boarded, the crew’s warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The itinerary was perfectly balanced with incredible island hopping, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and stunning scenery at every stop. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere after each day’s adventures. Sea Quest Expedition’s team went above and beyond in ensuring safety, comfort, and fun throughout the trip. The meals served on board were delicious and plentiful, showcasing fresh local flavors. Highlights included exploring hidden lagoons, pristine beaches, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. This cruise is truly a must-do for anyone wanting to experience the natural beauty of the Philippines in a unique and intimate way. Highly recommended for both adventure seekers and those looking to unwind amid breathtaking seaside landscapes. We left with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return!
