The contrast between the pure white sandy beach and the blue sea truly cleansed my soul... Snorkeling on Hilutangan Island was also a soothing experience, surrounded by colorful fish... And the BBQ lunch we enjoyed amid such beautiful scenery was truly exceptional.

We went island hopping. As it happened, our family was the only group on the boat, so we had a truly luxurious experience. It was really fun to hear about life in the Philippines, the national character, and stories about the islanders. I learned a lot. The Japanese staff members provided a sense of security unique to them and kept us entertained with their excellent communication skills. The Filipino staff members were all cheerful and kind as well. They were more than happy to take photos for us, and they’re really good at it. They patiently taught me how to snorkel—something I was nervous about—and it was really great that they took so many videos and photos of me underwater. I’ve come to love Cebu, and this is such a great company that I’d definitely like to book my next tour with them.

Nine of us went on the Hilutangan & 🐼 Pandanon Island tour with a BBQ included! We had a blast with parasailing, jet skiing, and the banana boat—we played to our hearts’ content! The BBQ was super delicious 🍻 and the all-you-can-drink option was a great deal! Our guide, Koichi, was a great conversationalist and really funny 🤣 He also took some beautiful snorkeling photos with his GoPro and sent them to us for free via AirDrop! We’d love to book a different tour with him the next time we visit ♪♪ Thank you so much 🫶

We booked an island-hopping tour here. It included snorkeling around two islands—Hilutangan Island and Pandanan Island—plus a BBQ. The price was reasonable, and best of all, having a Japanese guide was fantastic. The LINE messages we exchanged before the trip were very polite and easy to understand, so we felt at ease even before we left. Since we were staying on Mactan Island, the shuttle service was free. On the day of the tour, we were the only two participants, but we still had two guides assigned to us, and they were incredibly kind to us.
