El Nido Sunset Cruise with Dinner
About this tour
Trade the busy day-tour boats for a serene evening on Bacuit Bay with this three-hour sunset cruise. As the heat of the day fades, you set out among El Nido's iconic limestone islands while the sky turns shades of gold, coral and violet behind the karst silhouettes, one of the most romantic views in the Philippines.
Onboard you are served a relaxed dinner and drinks as the boat drifts past towering cliffs and quiet coves. With far fewer vessels on the water in the late afternoon, the bay takes on a calm, almost private atmosphere, perfect for couples, honeymooners or anyone wanting to slow down and soak up the scenery.
Depending on conditions there may be a chance for a quick swim or snorkel before sunset. This is an unhurried, scenic experience designed around the golden hour rather than checklist island-hopping, the El Nido seascape at its most magical.

About the area
Bacuit Bay fronts El Nido town on the northern tip of Palawan, ringed by dramatic limestone islands and dotted with hidden lagoons. While famous for daytime island hopping, the bay is at its most atmospheric at dusk, when the boats thin out and the karst cliffs glow against a fiery tropical sky.
