GUEST STORIES

Travelers Love Their Experience

Read authentic stories from guests who experienced unforgettable wildlife encounters through our ethical and expertly guided tours.

This tour wonderfully exceeded our expectations! The crew was amazing, and although they expected a two-hour search, we spotted whale sharks within an hour thanks to their experienced spotters. Meeting a whale shark researcher made the trip even more special. We also saw manta rays and enjoyed an incredible lunch. Their respectful, ethical approach to wildlife made this one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
Tami Caparas-Hildahl
Dolphin and Whales Tour in Puerto Princesa are an ethical operator. They don’t feed the whale sharks to keep them in the area. They are naturally migratory animals. 
Our guide Andy was just incredible. He’s kind and helpful. 
They spotted 9 whale sharks during our excursion! I sadly only saw 6 (swam wrong direction  ) and one Manta Ray. The guides have razor sharp vision!
Neither do they promise it’s a guarantee to see them. Under promise, over deliver. 
The animals in the ocean are respected. There were two boats yesterday. With a max of 9 per boat. I can’t recommend them more!!!
