Thank you Carlo
I was the only one who signed up for a Tuesday trip so it became a one person trip. Carlo is very sweet and kind, and the whole experience was excellent. I saw a lot of fishes and the weather was excellent.

Good Transportation less than average snorkeling tour
Tour operator provided good transportation to the snorkeling site. He had a tote with 3 old worn out warped flippers , we brought our own masks so didn't have to use the crap he had. We have been to excellent , average and below average snorkeling sites for us this site was below average and the resort well I wouldn't call it a resort at all, I would never actually stay there. If your only looking for transportation to a less than average snorkeling site this tour works well. If your looking for a snorkeling tour with at least decent equipment and an actual snorkeling guide then this tour is not for you.

Thank you Miele
Since no one booked on a Monday, it was a solo excursion. Miele was my guide and he was pretty accomodating. The drive to Batangas was 2.5 hours and u take a tiny boat to a resort/docking area. If asked if u want to do island hoping say yes. The resort area has choppy and taking another boat to a different section was a good choice. The corals were beautiful and so were the fish. After snorkeling, Miele took me to a local resto that offered their local noodles which is unlike anything I've ever had. Was a great last full day travel!

Excellent snorkelling!
Awesome time, with JC as our tour guide. The corals at the summer cruise resort were amazing and the extra option to go on a boat hopping tour meant we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle and a massive school of jack fish! I highly recommend the extra boat hopping tour to see the even more marine life

Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.
How much does Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup 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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 18 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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup?
+
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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup 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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup?
+
Around 6 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 Snorkeling Day Trip from Manila to Batangas with Pickup 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.
