From start to finish this has been an amazing experience. Sarah put together a trip that suited us down to the ground, which is not easy. We are 60+ love adventure and need a day off here and there and our Philippines experience was just that. Our guide Edmond on Bohol island was awesome, super friendly and very knowledgeable we really enjoyed our time together. The we had island hopping, fireflies and underground river in Puerto Princesa, my apologies I have forgotten the guides names. Then El Nido where Jason took us on speedboat private tour A and B which were both top shelf and we could adopt Jason, he's a beautiful soul. Then to top it all off the ultimate adventure in Coron with Jen, curly, the most handsome captain and the crew was a great way to finish. Angela was always on hand to assist if needed which was a great backup to have. The itinerary and communication was on point for everything. I could not be more happy with KimKim tours. I look forward to them organising our next trip. Cheers, Jeff and Chris.

Lagùn Hotel

We were told we had been given an upgrade from our queen size bed to two double beds. As a 187 cm male that's not an upgrade. We got it sorted and it was fine in the end. Cold drinks ard not a big thing in the Philippines and Lagun is no exception. Thd staff very very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is fine. It's a long way from the airport and it seemed in a big of a dodgy area.
