Itinerary

  1. Big Lagoon

    45 min Admission not included

    A premium stop in El Nido. Entry is not guaranteed but we will do our best so you can get clearance. If it is no longer possible to visit this lagoon, we will swap it with a different destination. Only 500 people are allowed to enter so, early booking is encouraged.

  2. Stop 2

    one hour Admission included

    One of the numerous islands dotting Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan. As this is a popular spot, it may get crowded during the day. A snorkeling area is located just off the island.

  3. Payong-Payong Beach

    one hour Admission included

    Another popular white-sand beach on Miniloc Island. Here, you can either get the thrill of swimming amidst the strong waves or just savor the chill vibe of splashing around gentle waves.

  4. Secret Lagoon

    45 min Admission included

    A very popular beach on Tour A. Concealed behind the towering karst cliffs, the Secret Beach seems like a precious masterpiece that the dark limestone walls need to protect at all cost.

  5. Seven Commando Beach

    one hour Admission included

    Its long sloping stretch of fine sand and coconut trees welcome the guests after a long day of island hopping. It is yet to be confirmed how the beach got its name, but one consistent story is that of the 7 soldiers who got stranded here during WWII. Whether that story is true or not, the important thing is happily spending your much-deserved holiday here before marching back to work.
