Our boat expedition from Coron to El Nido with Tao Philippines was truly an exceptional and unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and from start to finish we felt incredibly well taken care of. The food was absolutely outstanding and a true highlight of the entire trip. Toy is without a doubt the best chef we have ever met. Every single meal was freshly prepared and tasted better than any food we had during our whole trip through the Philippines. A huge thank you also goes to the guides Rocky, Edrian, and Oscar, who had everything completely under control. They were professional, warm, and always attentive, making us feel safe and comfortable at all times. The islands we visited were simply breathtaking – untouched, paradise-like, and completely empty. Having these beautiful places almost entirely to ourselves was an incredible experience. The accommodations were also excellent throughout the trip and were lovingly prepared for us every evening, adding even more to the special atmosphere. Another very special part of this journey was the group itself: people from all over the world who harmonized incredibly well. Thanks to this unique group dynamic, friendships for a lifetime were formed, making the expedition even more unforgettable. What made the experience even more special was that the connection did not end with the boat trip itself: Oscar, Toy, and Rocky even spent time with us after the expedition, doing activities together in El Nido. This genuine warmth and connection truly rounded off the entire experience. This expedition was far more than just a trip – it was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend Tao Philippines and would do it all over again without hesitation.

My husband and I first experienced TAO Expedition in 2014, and since then, we've been enthusiastically recommending it to friends abroad. Eleven years later, we finally had the chance to embark on this incredible journey again, this time arranging a trip with our friends. We participated in the 4D4N Coron-El Nido adventure and concluded our trip at ‘The Farm’ main base camp on Christmas Eve. I have so much to share about our experience, and it’s all AMAZING AND WONDERFUL! To summarize, here are my key takeaways: TAO Expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who love nature, the sea, islands, the ocean, and magical sunrises and sunsets. And meeting new people from different walk of life. The crew at TAO Expedition, known as 'The Lost Boys,' is simply extraordinary. They genuinely care for their guests, adapting to the diverse personalities and needs we brought on the trip. Their warmth and camaraderie made the experience unforgettable. Special metion to our crew during our trip; Wasoy, Leo, Chef Mark, Kevin, Bloger, Capt. Benito, Joseph (Mechanic) Undo & Garry, and lastly Moonson & Sky (the dogs) Food and Sleeping Arrangements: The quality of the food was exceptional, showcasing local flavors, and our sleeping hut was well-prepared for us, providing comfort throughout our stay. The organization of TAO Expedition is remarkable. The entire operation is run by passionate individuals who truly love what they do and are dedicated to giving back to the community. I was genuinely inspired by the initiatives I witnessed during our visits to various islands and especially at the main base camp, The Farm. And, I had the opportunity to talk to Ms. Ann (Master Chef of Tao). The logistics ran so smoothly that it felt seamless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without a hitch. Thank you, TAO Expedition, for this memorable journey—truly a pride of the Philippines. I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this experience. ♥️
