My favorite part is when we got to Tambisaan island for lunch and then we took photos wearing the mermaid tail. We're really thankful for our tour guide, kuya Jim, for the best tour experience and for taking great shots.

We took a day trip to Carabao Island and the experience we had was amazing. The Staff was very friendly, the drinks and food on board and on Carabao Island was plentiful and varied. Carabao island is truly unique with beautiful beaches untouched by all the vendors. You should never miss this day trip.

After reading some great reviews about the tour we decided booking it and were unfortunately really surprised by the difference with our experience.
The total group size was 8 people. we were taken from Charlie's stake house to the boat by one trycicle (someone had to stand and somehow hold on almost falling of). Thereafter we were all pushed in one small boat without any explanation what is going on and taken to the big boat.
The drinks available on the boat and also on the island were cola, sprite, water, beer, vodka and rum. No shakes, no juices, no cocktails.
The boat ride was normal, the staff was nice. When we arrived to the island we were quite surprised by the look of it. The beach was dirty and everything looked a bit run down. The bar on the island was closed, after 30 minutes we went to ask for drinks and than they opened it for us. After about one hour the food was ready. In the meantime we were all just sitting around since they advised us to wait with swimming as the beach on the other side of the island is more suitable. There were no beach games nor snorkeling nor whatsoever put out just four chairs on the beach without the sun shades. The food was luckily very good and plenty. Immediately after the meal we were taken by motor cycles to the other side of the island, on a really impressive ride and to a beautiful beach. We were given 30 minutes to swim there. After 30 minutes they took us back and had some snacks waiting at the bar (bread, butter and pineapple). We expected to spend some time at the beach but after 10 minutes were called back to the boat. We arrived back on boracay at 17:00, well before sunset.
On their advertisement(picture attached) they promise snorkelling, beach games, shakes, coconut, sunset cruise. All of which that was not provided!
Immediately after returning we tried to reason with them but they were not willing.
This activity costs 2500 pesos per person and is very overpriced in our opinion, especially when 50% of what they are offering isn't provided. Basically it's a boat ride, a good lunch and a motorbike tour on a local island. Nothing more.
We are sad because this tour has a lot of potential and according to the reviews the previous owner proved that. Also the operating staff are local people that are doing their best with what they are provided. As the owner has changed only one month ago, and after seeing how it was now, it will probably only get worse.
Bottom line: if you want to spend a nice day away from the crowds of boracay go ahead and do this tour. It's not bad. But, bear in mind that in our opinion, you will be paying more than what you should and for things you won't receive. Lower your expectations to a typical touristic tour that lives on the good, hardly built reputation of the previous owner while currently running the business at minimal costs and efforts.

We had a group of people from Boracay to Carabao Island day trip to have fun at the island. At the island we had BBQ, plenty of food and plenty of ice cold beer, live singer from Charlie. On our way back we had ice cold beer on boat and see the sunset. The boss & the staff, boat crew was really friendly & professional, excellent service. I would highly recommend you for using Adventure Boracay Explorer. I think you will enjoy the trip.

I went on this adventure with two friends and we enjoyed the multi cultural group that was on board that day.
Everything works well with this full days activity. The music, the food was excellent and plenty of it and the beer was ice cold all day and as much as you could drink.
It's a shame it was a day of light drizzle and cloudy. The sea was a little choppy but the boat is built well and was stable and felt very safe.
The owner is going to improve on his little beach location on Carabao island and this will further enhance the experience.
Thanks to all the crew for a great day out with warm hospitality...highly recommended day out.

Again you must bargain, at first, they offer this adventure at 1200pp per person, we only got it for 700pp each not bad bargaining this deal. To be honest this is not our first helmet diving but this our first time doing it in the middle of the ocean, in Mexico in Xcaret it was in a secure environment, it's sea water alright but there build a wall between the open sea, you feel secured when your doing it. But here in boracay you are in the middle of the ocean & you get only one diver to 6 persons that goes down when we were in Xcaret there is 4 or 5 divers that went down with us, they made you really feel secured compared to this one. But the diver who went with us on this adventure is really cool, he even made a bubble trick for us while my husband is taking a video on our go pro. With this package it's included a video in a CD to take it with you. It's a new and adventurous experience to try while your in Boracay...

We had a very large group, which posed quite a logistical challenge for the staff at Boracay Explorer to organize a trip for our event on Carabao island. Their boat, the "Maruja" is well-equipped and made the experience to Carabao island even more pleasurable. The staff and boat crew were very courteous and professional, and our day trip to Carabao exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend using Boracay Explorer to experience a trip to Carabao.

From the moment you get on the boat you know you are going to have a fun day. The staff puts the music on, the beer is ice cold and the trip is beautiful and quick.
I really liked diving off of the boat and being able to swim to shore rather than taking the transport boat which is available.
The lunch on the beach was great but my favorite part of the day was the motorcycle trip through the island to the other side. Awesome!!

I live on Boracay island and took some visiting friends on this day trip. The crew was really friendly and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. It was good to spend some time on a boat, see a nearby island, eat some good food, and just have an easy relaxing day. I think everyone will enjoy this trip.

Did the trip with a group of 17 family and friends.. One of the best days of our life, the whole day was perfect. Excellent boat and the crew were awesome, great tunes, food and drinks. Carabao island is a beautiful spot and we enjoyed chilling on the beach and the motorbike rides around the island. A seriously great way to spend a day, and we will be back to do it again. Thanks Tom and team!!!
