Yes, but first I forgot to mention about the first boat trip!! One of the guys suggested people could swim, and there were only two of us that really could swim, and there were people that had to be dragged back to the boat in their life, vest!!! Not really sure why someone didn’t stop them and give them a clear picture of what the swim would be like!!! So maybe next time on that first one it could be a kayak or a swim for strong swimmers!? Joseph was great, and the snorkeling and cave experiences are one of a kind!! Palawan is worth the adventure!!! Thank you for providing us the opportunity to explore new cultures & waters!!

Short tour but fitted a lot in. It is a shame there are not more itinerary options for this country if you are over 39. I joined a Tao sailing trip from El Nido to Coron directly after this tour as this was not an option with G (but is for the younger age group). I realise there may be more limited demand for an older age group but as you already run other itineraries for ages to 35 or 39 why not experiment with offering a couple of dates a year maybe for your soloish trips that have recently launched

My experience was nothing short of amazing. My CEO, the other member of the group, the excursions as well as the amazing food. It was perfectly planned out and I have already started to look at other G adventure trips. I hope that future ones will be just as good as this one! Again, another big thank you to Joseph our CEO for making my first G adventures trip one to remember.
