'Tao Expedition ... Awesome'
Jay and I had the most fantastic experience with the Tao Philippines
Expedition. For anyone who hasn't heard of these guys, google them and
check it out. Basically we embarked on a three day two night journey
from El Nido to Coron on The Aurora, with 9 other tourists from around
the globe and the fantastic Tao crew.

GUESTBOOK
The reviews below are extracts from our guest book which visitors are encouraged to write in after their expedition...
"Its been a privileged to be on board as the adventure evolves. You showed us the island playground as if we were all friends, but i guess now we are! Keep the enthusiasm and unplanned journeys, and you will keep the magic. I have been to the Philippines many times but this trip tops them all. I will be back and hope that Tao is still here, sure you will be!"
