5Phenomenal Guide Carlo - floating cottages
I just wanted to share how phenomenal Carlo was as our guide. We originally booked the Hidden Valley Springs adventure the day before, and after such an incredible experience with him, I decided to book the Island Hopping & Cottage Tour directly through their team as well. Carlo is extremely knowledgeable, provides outstanding customer service, and is genuinely friendly and engaging. We had great conversations about everything from bands to movies and beyond — he really makes the experience personal. What stood out most is how well he knows the Philippines. Having lived here his entire life, he’s deeply familiar with the culture, regions, and local insights that truly elevate the experience. Everywhere we went, people knew him — it’s clear he’s well respected and connected. Simply put, Carlo is the man. Highly recommend!
4Unique Journey and Destination
A truly unique and unforgettable experience. Common knowledge goes something along the lines that "it's about the journey and not the destination", this experience offers both the journey and the destination. The destination itself is spectacular and unique. The exquisite scenery whilst floating peacefully, lodged on sandbags is topped only by the authenticity of being amongst locals and snorkeling in crystal clear waters. With locally cuisine prepared for lunch, on the floating cottage, using fresh ingredients the authentic experience is only further enhanced. And whilst the destination is worthwhile, the journey itself would be worth the time. The upside of the slow traffic through the different Cities coming out of Metro Manila and then traversing through some of the other cities and provinces en route, is being able to see "real Philippines" along the journey. The journey enriched by am extremely knowledgeable and friendly and all round good person, Carlo! He listened attentively whilst chatting away and managed to tweak the journey en route to address our specific queries about the culture, people and sites the Philippines has to offer. Truly an experience which is highly recommended. The only reason this rating was not 5 stars is the time at the sandbar does become a bit of "more of the same", but otherwise no complaints whatsoever. Carlo, thank you for an amazing experience!
5Wonderful adventure!
The drive is worth the experience! We had a wonderful time. Our guide Mark and our driver Carlo were awesome. Mark provided information and helpful context for us to learn about the culture, people and area. Carlo navigated the streets and traffic like a pro. The floating cottage was so cute and we especially loved snorkeling and seeing the starfish and fish. Food and hospitality were wonderful.
5Super amazing experience
Nauna our guide and noi our driver went above and beyond to make this an amazing experience for us My family loved everything

About Manila
Manila is the capital of the Philippines, a dense bayside city of Spanish colonial walls, old churches, jeepneys and the historic Chinatown of Binondo.
Manila stretches along the eastern shore of Manila Bay, at the mouth of the Pasig River. Intramuros, the walled city built by the Spanish from 1571, is the historic heart, with cobbled streets, the cathedral and the stone church of San Agustín, the country's oldest stone church and a World Heritage site. Fort Santiago, at the river mouth, is where the national hero José Rizal was held before his execution in 1896.
Top-ranked sights in Manila: Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church and Museum, Intramuros.
