About this tour

Skip the crowded shared bangka and explore the Bacuit Archipelago on your own terms with a private speedboat charter for the full day. Instead of following the fixed Tour A to D itineraries on everyone else's schedule, you and your group set the route, choosing your favourite combination of the Big and Small Lagoons, Secret Lagoon, Snake Island's sandbar, Hidden Beach, Matinloc Shrine, Helicopter Island and the many empty coves in between.

The big advantage of a private speedboat is speed and timing. You can reach the famous lagoons before or after the day-tour fleet arrives, meaning you swim through Small Lagoon or paddle the Big Lagoon while it is still quiet. A private boat also lets you linger longer at the spots you love and skip the ones you don't, with your crew arranging snorkelling stops, lunch on a deserted beach and the best light for photos.

This charter is ideal for families, couples, photographers and groups who value privacy, flexibility and a faster, more comfortable boat than the standard outriggers. Your captain and guide know the tides and the secret entrances, so you make the most of the limestone-walled lagoons that made El Nido world famous.

About the area

El Nido sits at the northern tip of mainland Palawan, gateway to the Bacuit Archipelago: a scatter of more than 40 islands and islets of dramatic jagged limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. It is consistently ranked among the most beautiful seascapes on earth, and a private boat is the best way to experience it without the crowds.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the standard Tour A, B, C, D?
Standard tours follow a fixed group itinerary on a shared outrigger. A private charter is just your group, lets you customise the route and timing, and uses a faster speedboat so you can reach the lagoons before the crowds.
Can we customise which islands we visit?
Yes. You discuss your preferred stops with the guide, who will recommend the best order based on tides and conditions. You can prioritise lagoons, snorkelling, beaches or photography.
Are kayak and lagoon fees included?
The eco-tourism fee and standard entrance fees are included; the optional kayak rental required to enter the Big and Small Lagoons may carry a small extra charge depending on the operator.
