Tubbataha Reef

Reviewed By DianneA271 - Brisbane, Australia

My husband and I had booked a live aboard dive trip to Tubbataha to go to sea aboard Expedition Fleet's M/V Oceanic lll Explorer on 26th March 2020. I'd been dealing directly with Janet and Lars Chua who run the fleet. I'd read many reviews for this wonderful location, travelling with Expedition Fleet and in nearly every one Janet's name appeared as a great person to deal with. For the months leading up to our sailing date there was so much helpful friendly advice and super prompt replies from Janet. Very sadly on 16th March we were told everything in the Philippines was shutting down due to Corona. Airports, and all other transport, hotels, restaurants and all dive stores were to close. All tourists including us were given 48 hours to leave or we could be stranded there for months. I reached out to Janet by e-mail asking her advice and she located a private charter to take us from Coron where we were to Clark airport. It was only because of Janet's help we managed to flee. The airport near Coron Town had already closed, with the exception of the few charter flights ferrying tourists north. Tubbataha was the star of our 5 week holiday which was cut down to 2 weeks with the panic to evacuate. I am so grateful to Janet for all her help and Pete and I are determined to get to Tubbataha as soon as the world's restrictions are lifted. Dianne.

Long Beach

Reviewed By ExplorewithEloie

The best beach vacations are those spent to connect with oneself and the significant others - a partner, friend, siblings, children,etc. And such connections can only be realized in the solitude and calmness brought just by the sound of the waves. Only Long Beach in San Vicente provides such a backdrop as compared to its neighboring El Nido or the definitely crowded Boracay. Sleep & be awaken with the murmuring waves and chirping of the birds. Bask in the greenery of your surroundings. Everything at much more value than your normal beach destinations. Lounging in a hammock definitely guaranteed.
