Super expedition with Alan and Maria ! Alan stopped us at nice spots on the way from Coron to El Nido and Maria cooked amazing dishes 3 times per day. Very nice experience !

We did a 3-day, 2-night boat tour from El Nido to El Nido, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The experience was like something out of a dream – crystal-clear waters, untouched islands, and stunning beaches that felt like our own private paradise. Each day brought a new adventure: snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, relaxing on remote sandbanks, and watching the most beautiful sunsets from the boat. It was the perfect chance to completely disconnect from everyday life and just soak in the beauty of nature. We visited several different islands, each with its own unique charm. The crew was fantastic – super friendly, helpful, and they cooked delicious meals right on the boat. Sleeping under the stars and waking up to the sound of the ocean was magical. Honestly, we could have easily added another night – it went by way too fast! If you're thinking about doing this trip, don't hesitate. We can 100% recommend it. Just make sure to bring your own snorkeling gear to fully enjoy the underwater world. An experience we’ll never forget!

My partner and I had a lovely day aboard the Maria with Captain Alan - he was very attentive in answering questions before the day trip, helped us get a few supplies before boarding and heading out. He put together a lovely itinerary for the day which he was happy to adjust according to our preferences. A great way to see some beautiful locations if you only have 1 day in El Nido region

Our experience aboard the María catamaran with Alan was simply unforgettable. We spent three days sailing around El Nido as part of our honeymoon, and from the very first moment we booked and Alan wrote to us, we knew these days were going to be amazing... and they truly were! The adventure started with buying food: Alan helped us choose what to get and met us directly at the supermarket — a great start to the trip! Then we set off to discover El Nido: Alan took us to hidden gems that regular tours don't visit, as well as some famous spots, but experiencing them on the catamaran was completely different and much more special. Sleeping in the middle of nature, away from everything, was simply magical. Thanks to Alan, we were also lucky enough to see countless starfish, sea turtles, and the incredible marine life of El Nido — something we will never forget. We shared lunches and dinners together, and my husband even got to steer the catamaran for a while! Nothing was missing. Well, except that we didn't get to meet María (who shares the same name as the boat!) because she was traveling at the time. We would have loved to meet her! Today, when our family asks us what the best part of our honeymoon was, we answer without hesitation: María, in El Nido!

We had a great 2 night 3 day trip with Alan. He took us to some beautiful private beaches and the best spots for snorkelling, to Yaught is well equipped with a couple of kayaks as well for people who don’t swim so well. Alan is very helpful and will even help you with the food shopping before you go. He knows the best places to shop if you keep in contact by WhatsApp. There were five of us in the party, which is a bit of a squeeze for the fifth person, but we managed to make up a comfortable bed.
