Magical private boat trip!
This boat trip was sooo magical! A whole boat to ourselves and sugga amazing spots we went to! They always took us to places where we were almost alone and so secluded, and the crew was sooo nice! Music, good vibes and our guide was our personal photographer and helped us with everything! Such good service.
I could do this boat trip over and over again

11/10 could not recommend enough!!!
Could not recommend this tour company enough!! We had such a fun day out on the boat - karaoke, joking around, and swimming in the most amazing waters. The boys went above and beyond to ensure our trip was fun & memorable, even videoing & taking photos of us as a family, which was incredible! The tour was completely customisable, and the communication leading up to the tour was incredible. We messaged their instagram page a month before coming to El Nido and they were flexible & provided awesome recommendations. Truly an awesome group of guys leading the tours! Would book again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful experience
We wanted to have a dream day and thanks to boatybros we succeeded.
We opted for the private A+B tour and the guide and crew were super helpful and allowed us to always relax between islands.
Eating on board the boat is priceless
Recommended for those who want to spend a day in peace

UNIQUE ❤️
These guys made us live a real dream. We stayed 4 days in El nido, we saw wonderful places, a couple tour dedicated only to us. Wonderful! On Valentine's Day they also organized a delicious beach lunch. What about, we will definitely come back and choose them again because they are a certainty. Thank you ❤️

Island hoping
We booked a private boat in El Nido after speaking on the beach. Communication via WhatsApp was easy. The crew was kind and patient with our boys (5 and 13). Relaxed day, flexible plan and beautiful spots.

Hands Down the Best Experience in El Nido
[Excerpt]
If you are going to El Nido and don’t book with Boaty Bros... you are doing it wrong.
My friend and I spent two private days island hopping with them, and it was without a doubt the BEST experience of our entire trip — not just in El Nido, but in Southeast Asia. Boaty Bros is hands down the company you should book with. No question.
They custom-built our itinerary by combining the absolute best spots from Tours A, B, and C — and strategically timed everything so we hit places during low-traffic hours. That meant Secret Beach with barely anyone there. Big Lagoon without chaos. Papaya Beach feeling like a dream. Cudugnon Cave without a line. It felt exclusive, intentional, and magical.

Abandoned, only good food
Now that I have tried other agencies I can express a thought as objective as possible.
Bad organization, initially everything seemed great the agency in fact for bad weather on the day of our private tour tried to group us with 4 other people.
The same morning we arrived at the meeting Point (at 10.30am to wait for the other people) and the 4 people were not there, we paid the higher price than agreed for chef now we could not take other tours.
However even on the boat all listless and left us to ourselves all day (private tour lasted 5.30h) we did not even have a guide
Only positive note the food very good.
Then we tried the El Byahe Travel agency, a whole different story, exceptional experience!

Amazing tours and outstanding service
We found BoatyBros online and decided to book all our tours with them.
It was the best decision we could have made. We had an amazing experience, both on group tours and private tours. Everything was perfectly organized, from the meeting point to the boat and food. They also provided everything we needed during the tours, including kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and more.
During our stay, one day the weather wasn't great, but they were incredibly helpful and gave us excellent inland recommendations, which made the day just as enjoyable.
They are always available, extremely kind, and very fast at responding to any situation, problem, or even simple advice (which is definitely not something to take for granted).
Thank you, BoatyBros
Highly recommended

Beautiful experience on a boat
Beautiful days on the boat despite the weather! Although the weather was not the best, the places were beautiful. We saw turtles, snorkeled and ate well. Super easygoing guys who made everything even more beautiful. Highly recommended!

Everything went well, apart from the weather but unfortunately that can not be predicted!
I strongly recommend these guys for your private tour 😊

Solid experience
Me and my girlfriend enjoyed our tours, A+B and C+D with boatybros. The guide was open and helpful to our feedback, leading us to the places we liked the most. The Filipino food they served was good and on the boat there was water to keep hydrated. During our day, the boss was always reaching for our feedback. They care about it. There were just some small organizational issues, with snorkelling masks and water shoes. This lead us to start the tour a bit late, along some shared tours. Though they were very kind and proactive toward us, covering for kayak expenses. Showing they care about their service and people. I strongly recommend them. Thank you boatybros 💙
