    Our guide - Moya - was amazing! Moya kept us up-to-date on daily plans including pickups and transfers, helping us trouble-shoot when needed. The hotels were all clean and comfy; and in convenient spots for the activities. The itinerary was very good - perhaps another option for travel between Puerto Princesa and El Nido (extra day in PP?) as it was a long day of driving. Also the ferry ride from El NIdo to Coron ate up most of that day. There were a couple instances when our transporters were significantly late and did not contact us to let us know. The specific guides used were all great at their jobs and we enjoyed the tours.

    A week in Pakawan certainly showed me some stunningly beautiful spots on the islands. Moya informed me of the next day's activities every evening and was always there to answer questions. Hotels in which I stayed were excellent so I can thoroughly recommend this week.

    Communication with the tour guide was okay, but I wasn’t picked up for the transfer from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. They found someone to transfer me over but they made multiple stops and I didn’t get to El Nido until 1 am and then they made me find my own way to my hotel which was difficult at 1 am. There were multiple times I had to pay for my transfer to a hotel after a tour. One hotel had no working WiFi. There was ALOT of wasted time waiting for tours or transfers. I would have been happier doing this all on my own. I wouldn’t recommend this tour really.

    Day 3 El Nido Tour A. Day 5 Coron Island Tour. Both Amazing. Day 2 90 mins drive to Underground river tour. Then 90 mins wait for the boat. 90 mins drive back to Puerto Princesa River Tour is only 40 mins. We were taken back to Puerto Princesa but it would have been better to go direct to El Nido, 3 hours wasted on the bus. We got picked up at 17.30 for transfer to El Nido.we arrived at 1am! When we stopped half way the food was almost gone, what was left looked old. Your brochure says 3 hours to El Nido this is false. When we booked it was a flight to from El Nido to Coron, it got changed to the Ferry. The ferry took 5 hours everyone vomiting.

    This has been the best experience of my life! I am very grateful, since my arrival in Manila I had the support and assistance of Moya who was absolutely diligent, and attentive to all my requirements! The hotels were all fabulous, the breakfasts delicious, the lunch tours excellent; it was an amazing way to eat traditional Pinoys dishes! I must say that my visit coincided with 3 typhoons which made things a bit complicated, however Moya was there and supported me in everything; so I would recommend to be careful with packages in typhoon season, especially if like me, you have very restricted dates! My flight back to Manila was cancelled and the airline gave me a replacement for three days later! However Moya and her TourRadar team got me a ticket for the next day and I was able to fly, plus they contacted me for transportation at all times! I really have no complaints but thanks! One thing I must say is that I thought I would join a group but the truth is that it was just one trip, which I enjoyed divinely and in which I met wonderful people and discovered unsurpassable landscapes!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Some of the other reviews had issues with the hotels, I actually thought they were quite quality locations. Each had an attentive front desk, hot water, and amenities were available for purchase. The tour itself packs a lot into a short time frame. I was tired at the end of it, but in a good way. I actually liked that the week ended with the town tour of Coron, because it was a little more low key and less active than the other days, which was necessary.

      All good we can manage 10kg both from Australia & on tour. We would like to book A week in Palawan starting 7th January 2026. We were also given a discount code P-4KqlikP. Let me know if this is available.

      The tour package includes 20kg of check-in baggage for internal flights within the Philippines, so you'll be well covered for that part of the journey.

    Asked on May 21st, 2025

    We've noticed a discrepancy between the itinerary and the "What's Included" section—one mentions a ferry transfer from El Nido to Coron, while the other states a flight transfer. Could you please confirm which is correct?

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      The travellers' international flights are scheduled to arrive in Manila at 7:00 AM on July 4th and depart at 12:45 PM on July 10th. Would it be possible to arrange the internal flights on Day 1 and Day 7 to align with this timing?

    • B

      Benjamin

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Lastly, could you provide some insight into the expected weather conditions in July? Is it typically rainy, or can travellers expect mostly fine weather during that time?

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten May 2025

      Regarding the transfer from El Nido to Coron, I can confirm that this will be via ferry, as outlined in the updated itinerary.

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten May 2025

      For the internal flights: Day 1 should work well with their arrival time in Manila at 7:00 AM. However, for Day 7, I would recommend they opt for a later afternoon flight rather than one that cuts it close to their 12:45 PM international departure. While we always aim for smooth connections, delays can occasionally occur, and we'd rather err on the side of caution to ensure a stress-free travel experience for them.

    • CTPH TOUROperatorWritten May 2025

      As for the weather in July, it's the start of the wet season in the Philippines. While travelers can still enjoy warm temperatures and beautiful scenery, it's good to expect some rainfall—often in the afternoons or evenings. It's definitely manageable with a bit of flexibility and rain gear, and many travelers still have a wonderful time during this period.
