What a great adventure!! Thank you to Ate, Kuya & our joyful happy driver for a spectacular and fun day. With only 1 days notice Salaag Ta Travel & Tours were able to organise a magical day to Apo Island free driving with Turtles and swimming through Reef Caves & Waterfalls in Dumaguete.
They were so helpful to research our options of arrival and were very prompt on communication.

Not only did they bring the laughter but also memories we will remember as a family for many years to come!

Highly recommend this tour group! Thank you again for the best day out!
