Castaway Wins Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice 2026 — Two Years in a Row

We did it again.

Castaway has been named a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2026 winner — our second year in a row. The award goes to experiences that consistently earn outstanding reviews from travelers, placing them among the most loved things to do on Tripadvisor worldwide.

And here is the part that matters to us: this award is not decided by a jury or a marketing budget. It is decided by you — the castaways who jumped off our boats, slept under the stars at our island camps, shared feasts and bonfires, and then took the time to write about it.

What this award actually means

Every review behind this badge is a real person who spent three days with us between El Nido and Coron. People who arrived as strangers and left as a crew. People who told us the expedition was the highlight of their whole Philippines trip — and sometimes the highlight of their year.

Winning once felt amazing. Winning two years in a row tells us the magic was not luck — it is the crew, the islands, and the way this journey brings people together, trip after trip.

Thank you

To every guest who trusted us with their adventure: salamat! To our boat crews, camp teams, guides and cooks who make three days in remote islands feel effortless — this badge belongs to you.

Come see what the fuss is about

The expedition runs in both directions — El Nido to Coron and Coron to El Nido. Three days, two nights, one boat, hidden lagoons, beach camps and a crew of travelers from around the world.
