Why go private
Same islands.
A different day.
Stay a little longer in the water. Take the photo. Find a moment that belongs to just your people. A private boat gives your day room to breathe.
A private boat means your own group. Popular lagoons and beaches are still shared places.
Shared tour
One set line for every boat.

Plan my dayGood to know
A few things
before you go.
A clearer picture of your day, before the first conversation.
Your booking is for your group rather than individual seats on a shared boat. You can discuss your preferred pace, departure time, and stops with the crew. Routes still depend on weather, permits, and local access rules.
Start with the kind of day you want: lagoons (Tour A), caves and a sandbar (Tour B), hidden beaches and snorkelling (Tour C), or a gentle day close to town (Tour D). If you only have one day, ask about a private A + C combination.
You book a private boat for your group, and the price grows a little with each guest. Day tours start from a set total for two guests, and each extra guest adds a fixed amount. Children under 3 travel free and ages 3 to 5 pay half the extra-guest rate. Hotel pickup and lunch are included. The environmental fee (₱400 per person, once per stay) and the lagoon fee (₱200 per person per lagoon visit) are paid on top.
Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in El Nido town. Staying further out, in Lio or Nacpan? Tell us where when you plan, and we add the transfer to your quote. If you have not booked a hotel yet, we confirm the meeting point with you before the day.
Yes. If you are not in El Nido yet, we arrange a private van from Puerto Princesa airport, about five to six hours by road, or from El Nido airport, timed to your flight. It goes in the same quote as your boat days, and we can drive you back when you leave.
Yes, children can join most routes. Tell us how many children come and their ages, and we suggest a suitable route and pace, such as the gentle Tour D. A boat should carry a life jacket for every guest, including child sizes, and the crew should give a safety briefing. Ask for these in writing before you book. Our safety page lists the questions to ask any operator.
The Philippine Coast Guard and local authorities can suspend sea travel when conditions are unsafe, and no operator should sail then. If your trip is cancelled because of the weather, you can move it to another available date at no extra charge. Refund terms, if you cannot reschedule, are set out in your written quote before you confirm. Leaving a spare day in your plans turns a cancelled trip into a change of date.
Make room for a little wonder
Some days deserve
their own boat.
Your people. Your pace. A day in El Nido
that feels like it was made for you.
