We took this trip with in April 2025. The crew's energy sets the tone for the whole experience. They balance group meals and activities with enough downtime that it never feels forced. The food is exceptional - homecooked Filipino dishes that could hold their own in a restaurant, served on a boat in the middle of the ocean. They've figured out how to make 16 strangers feel like friends in four days, and that's harder than it sounds.
