Island hopping in El Nido on Tours A and C, two ways: join a group aboard Keelooma Tres, our traditional bangka, from ₱3,500 per person, or take the private speedboat for your group alone, from ₱28,000 for two. Tour A visits Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon and Seven Commandos Beach; Tour C, Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach and Star Beach. Departing El Nido town.

Two tours, two kinds of day

Tour A — the lagoons
The El Nido most people have seen in photographs. Big Lagoon and Secret Lagoon, reached by kayak and on foot, then Shimizu Island, Payong-Payong, and the long white sand of Seven Commandos Beach.

Tour C — the islands
A quieter day of islands and hidden coves. Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach, Star Beach, Secret Beach and Tapuitan Island — more snorkelling, more shoreline, fewer lagoon queues.

Join a group — aboard Keelooma Tres

Our group tour — known locally as a joiner tour — runs on Keelooma Tres, a traditional Palawan bangka set up for a slow day on the water. There is shade on both decks, bean bags on the upper deck, a sea pool for swimming off the boat, and a kayak for the lagoons.

Between stops there are soft drinks from the bar, a short head, back or shoulder massage while the boat is underway, and a playlist chosen for the day. Starlink wifi is on board for anyone who needs it; most guests find they don't.

Doing both on consecutive days is the best way to see El Nido, and the schedule is set up so you can.

Included: a DOT-accredited guide and crew · lunch on board · soft drinks · lagoon fees · kayak, mask and snorkel, and life vest · a five-minute massage while cruising · Starlink wifi

Not included: Eco-Tourism Development Fee (PHP400, valid for 5 days)

Groups run with a minimum of six guests and never more than eighteen. Group tours depart from 1 November.

Take the private speedboat — Kandooma

Kandooma is our twin-engine speedboat, for your group alone, on Tour A or Tour C.
