Common Questions

Yes; June–November commonly includes Ilig Iligan, Crocodile Island, and Starfish Garden, while December–May often visits Coral Garden, Balinghai, and Puka Beach.
Where do I meet and is hotel pickup available?
Meetups are typically at Astoria Beach (Boat Station 1) or Bulabog-area points; provide full hotel details for pickup arrangements and note the cut-off time for changes.
