'BIG DREAM BOATMAN was initially started by Krish and Oli. It was born out of a frustration of the 'day trip' culture, the 'let's get as many tourists on a boat as we can' approach.

They decided to do something different, and Krish’s dream to do a Coron Island Life expedition was born. For our first season we rented an old boat, and were blessed that some adventurous travellers happen to find us with our incredibly simple one page website!

Since that first season, Big Dream Boatman has evolved and expanded into something truly wonderful and beyond our wildest dreams. By popular demand we started to include the Coron to El Nido and vice versa routes. Whilst we have grown more popular over the years, and the industry as a whole has become busier, at it’s heart Big Dream Boatman is still about the same thing: passion, service and loving what you do.

Even though the destinations you visit are mind-blowing, it is still most common for people to say the highlight of their trip was the crew. And when you think about it this makes perfect sense. Having a genuine experience and developing a friendship with somebody from a different culture is what travelling is all about!

We've been equally blessed to have the most influential names in travel find us and want to join the trip. We have never paid for people to come on to our trip, for whatever reason, the trip just seems to attract the best people.

We have been blessed and will continue to share the experience for as long as we can!!
