• Great half day for snorkeling

  Best part was seing 2 different species of sea turtles while snorkeling, and the staff on the boat being very warm and welcoming. Also saw dolphins very quickly, many other boats also trying to catch a glimpse though. Lunch very basic and a bit cold when served but still appreciate the effort.

• Nice friends

  The only downside on this trip at sea is the pick up at the hotel we had been given pick up addresses for the bus and in fact they came to pick us up at our hotel while we were at the point where we had to take this famous bus finally it was just a little misunderstanding otherwise we saw: Dolphins 🐬, a turtle 🐢 beautiful corals (Watch out for people who have trouble moving, boarding in what they call Pedals is very scabrous or complicated) there was also quite a bit of current during the dive if not the crew, very nice meal very good chicken shrimp and bacon grilled with rice 🍚 initially we were treated to coffee with a kind of brioche to drink at will all times I would say I had a great day for 38€

  The boat was great, theblunch provided was bery good and we got to see turtles. Probably the only downsize is that there were a lot of people in the water, as expected from these tours, so whenever a turtle appeared, chaos ensued. But overall a great day!

  Early start but worth the effort. We saw turtles and lots of colourful fish. Great communication with local agency. Complimentary pick up and drop off from hotel. Small group of nine. Very helpful and friendly crew.

• Loud music, impedingly "helpful", dishwashing liquid into sea

  As a female solo traveller and eco-aware person, I cannot recommend this tour, unfortunately. Although I found it great to get picked up in front of my hotel (by a remodeled jeepney), there were just too many eyebrow-raising moments that made me particularly wonder about the apparently low confidence the guide had of the ability of women. When I got off the company's own hotel pickup jeepney facing towards the driver, I noticed that there is a man suddenly standing behind me, eye-level with my bum and maybe 10cm behind me. Since I had been the last person to get off and since the others (a Korean family) were already out of sight, chatting amongst each other, I thought it is perhaps someone who wants to steal from my pant pockets. I asked him what he was doing there and told him to move whereupon someone explained he was our guide. He did not explain himself and this was so unusual (I had taken a jeepney many times before and also used ladders for four centuries...), so I could only assume he wanted to see my bum up close. On the boat, when we stopped at a snorkelling site and got off one by one over a ladder/wooden steps on the side of the boat, he made me put on my life vest again which I had taken off after the boat had shut off the engine and even said I should clip on the groin belt, so he could "assist me" going inside the water, making a gesture that he wanted to lift me up by the back of my collar like a small baby learning to walk. I should mention that the sea was very calm in that spot, the water maybe 4m depth and clear, I was wearing aqua shoes with rubber soles and the entire boat was floored with anti-slip rubber mats, so I did not understand the purpose of this security measure and assumed it had sth to do with coastguard regulations in that area to wear a life vest. Since he was standing between me and the ladder and thus, essentially, between me and my snorkelling experience, and since I wanted to be compliant with coastguard regulations (I heard in Palawan from our guide that if the coast guard spots someone on a boat without a life vest, the boat gets a fine and is not allowed to do boat trips for a week or two) and assumed there is maybe a current in the water I don't know about, I put it on and had a hard time swimming around with it in the water as it is very restrictive. Also, the groin belt was too short and for the 40-ish minutes at that site, it felt as if I had a string stuck up my ***. By the end, when we got back up to have lunch on the boat, I saw that none of the others or maybe one other person apart from me out of about a dozen were wearing a life vest. Since I was wearing a bathing suite with a discreet skirt design and due to the jeepney incident, it made me wonder if the guide had a bum fetish and wanted to see the definition of my butt cheeks. The entire trip I also had the impression that the guide was treating me like an infant or senior citizen or person with reduced mobility, like I had never used a ladder or walked down three steps in my life before which I find very disrespectful. There is a line between helpful and being "too helpful" when you just get in the way by standing exactly in the spot the person descending/ascending stairs needs to step next to balance with an outstretched arm or rushing to grab someone who is just taking time to get a feel for the right moment/wave to take a step. Clearly, the guide interprets smart patience and calculation as indecision and I wonder what level of respect he hold for his customers. Finally, three more points: First, they blasted their music playlist on the boat very loudly at 6.40am-ish (potentially scaring away marine wildlife, like dolphins who communicate by sound) and gave out beer to those who wanted it at 7am-ish. There was a lively Korean family of about eight people who had to scream to each other across the boat because of the loud music. So if listening to the natural sound of waves is your thing, this tour is not. Second, the dishes of the lunch were washed with dishwashing liquid which was rinsed into the snorkelling site with the colourful fish and corals where we had just swam in. So if conservation is your thing, this tour is not either. Third, under water I saw some of the Korean group hold out some kind of food to the fish to make them come for videos. The fish came and ate it all. At first I thought it was some kind of fish food / sea food floss that they might have been given by the guide (which would still be ethically debatable) but realised to my horror later that it had been pieces of toast we had been offered as a breakfast on the boat. I believe that fish cannot digest bread because they get bloated from the yeast etc. which can lead to health concerns for them. I don't know if the boat crew knew of this or condoned it (they later fed freshly caught sea urchins or so to the fish to make them gather) but I would advise not to offer people food on boats that can tempt them to use that in a manner that is harmful for marine wildlife. Reusable drinking cups and cutlery would be eco-friendlier as well. The only positive interaction of this tour crew was the kind driver who picked me up from the hotel.

• Highly recommendable

  Very good organization. Also for the transfer from Hotel to the ship. Very friendly crew. Good atmosphere. And diving with turtles and see so many colored fishes was one of our best experiences in our lives. We can highly recommend this trip with this Organisation to everybody.

  It was great. You get to snorkel for probably around an hour or so total. 30 min where there are sea turtles and another 30 min or so out over a reef where you can see fish and starfish and coral and all that fun stuff. Also got to see a pod of dolphins and watch them jump and play in the water on the boat ride to and from the snorkel spots.

  I was a bit skeptical booking this tour since it only had one review but after spending half the day with the Reel Fortune crew, I can confidently say that those worries were put away immediately. The crew was incredibly accommodating and friendly, went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience, and cooked us an amazing lunch on the boat. Rest assured you'll be in great hands with Kuya Mark and company!

  

  

  

  

• Very badly organized, not worth the money

  The boat that we started with was broken, we had to wait for an hour and a half for them to bring another boat, we understand these things can happen, but they did not inform us what will it happen, they kept saying the rescue boat will come, but we had no idea if we will go back to our hotels or continue the tour. Finally when a new boat arrived, we were taken to not all the spots, only turtles and 1 snorkeling place The lunch was very greasy Really I think for the price we payed we got the exact same experience as the 900 php tour that they sell on the beach.

• Great Experience!

  Outstanding Service from on time pickup and drop off to the actual trip. The Reel of Fortune boat crew were very customer service centric and did everything to make us comfortable. We were lucky to see dolphins and turtles this trip. For those concerned about safety, there is no need to be. Recommend you bring your own snorkel if possible (but if not, their equipment is fine). Great lunch and an overall great value. Highly recommend.
