The island hopping tour was just okay. Since there was an advisory from the Coast Guard, we weren't able to visit the actual places in the itinerary and went to alternative places instead. We spent a lot of time waiting to dock on one of the alternative islands cause there were a lot of boats also, so we had to visit the lunch area first before going to the other snorkelling stop. However, since most of the people on the joiner boat didn't want to do snorkelling anymore after lunch, we just decided to go back to Station 1 and end the tour. I wouldn't recommend getting it during the Amihan season if you want to visit the actual stops on the tour since the weather might be unpredictable. Also, get ready to get wet even before the tour starts since you need to walk further into the beach (stomach-deep) before you can reach the boat.
