The stops are very scenic but tend to be crowded even with the regulations on the number of passes that are handed out each day. to access some of the sits you have to walk over submerged rocks that are very slippery. While it will be difficult to avoid all of the scrapes good water shoes will help to reduce them.

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

We booked three tours with Corazon Travel and Tours with the intention of travelling to Palawan in early May. Unfortunately the pandemic intervened, in a very big way. We could neither leave Australia nor enter the Philippines. By the time I emailed their office to cancel the tours Palawan was in lockdown. Nevertheless I received an email to explain that they would not be able to process refunds until they were allowed to return to their office. A week ago I received a further email apologising for the delay and stating that they were now processing refunds but it may take time because of the volume. This morning I received my refund. I will certainly re-book with them if we ever actually visit the Philippines.
