Absolutely Amazing!! So many Beautiful Tropical Fish at all times whilst snorkelling. Schools of fish swimming within feet of us. I have scuba dived in many different countries and this was by far the BEST for Fish Variety, how close they were, at times we were completely surrounded by so many, just absolutely AMAZING.

Great snorkeling ruined by dishonest tour guide
The snorkeling experience itself was great and a worthwhile day trip from Manila, I just would not recommend this tour company. What spoiled the experience was the tour guide. I had him hold a few valuables for me while snorkeling and failed to get my Apple AirPods back from him (and he failed to return them). I then attempted to retrieve them while still in the Philippines and after returning to the US, including having a Filipino colleague meet him to retrieve them. Despite indicating multiple times he intended to return them I don’t think he was ever sincere about returning them. Each time we indicated he would meet a colleague to return them, we would then go silent. For this reason I would not recommend booking a tour through YOLO Travel, despite using them previously and having a good experience. Viator was also not helpful in getting my AirPods back.

5 Stars - Highly Recommend
JC was so amazing as our tour guide. We had visited El Nido the prior week but was disappointed in the lack of fish and healthy coral while we were snorkeling. So we found this tour and hoped for the best. The area we visited was much more suited for snorkelers and divers. The fish and coral here were incredible!!

Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.
How much does Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manila usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manila is not rushed.
Is Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Manila, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manila can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manila and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manila within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Manila?
+
On Outty we rank every Manila experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food, Experience Intramuros with Bamboo Bicycle - Ecotours, Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Manila?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Manila?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World?
+
Included: Use of snorkeling equipment; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: tips; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 320 listed pickup locations in and around Manila. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Anilao Snorkel Safari: Explore the Amazing Underwater World wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
