Day 1: Arriving in El Nido & Sunset at Las Cabanas Beach

When traveling from abroad to the Philippines, Manila is usually most tourists’ first point of arrival. It is recommended that you avoid the capital altogether and instead simply use its airport as a layover en route to a beach town called El Nido. This is our base fr...

Day 2: Boat Excursion to Snake Island, Pinagbuyutan Island, Entalula Beach & Cudugnon Cave

The daytrip boat tours from El Nido are pretty straightforward. For the most part, they do not overlap with each other. Each tour has its own highlights. All of the daytrip tours offer amazing attractions, not least for today. Today we join the boat daytrip tour which...

Logistics

What's excluded

    • Flights
    • Although airfare is not included in the price, we will find you the exact flights you need. Just ask.
    • Below are the domestic flights needed for this tour:
    • Day 1: Manila or Cebu City to Puerto Princesa or El Nido
    • Day 5: El Nido through Manila to Coron Town (only if the direct speedboat from El Nido to Coron Town is not available)
    • Day 7: Cebu City to Manila (if applicable to you)
    • Insurance
    • Although travel insurance is not included in the price, we can recommend a company which provides comprehensive coverage. Note all customers are required to have travel insurance for this tour.
    • Additional Services
    • Alcohol
    • Travel Visa (only applicable to citizens of certain countries)

Accommodation

,Below are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our travelers stay. Note this is subject to availability. Our tours include the first night of accommodation, the hotel included is always selected as 4-5 Star by American standards - always unique and great customer service. We can also book 3 Star and boutique properties on behalf of our guests. Please inquire if interested. Nights 1-4: El Nido, Preferred Accommodation: Sea Cocoon Hotel Nights 5-6: Coron Town, Preferred Accommodation: Two Seasons Coron Bayside Hotel This tour includes lodging for 1 night. However, upon request, we can book accommodation for you for all nights at establishments which meet your needs. For years, we automatically included 5-star hotels in our travel packages. In the interest of our customers, we ultimately decided to reduce the price of our tours and encourage specifically those with higher expectations to simply request room upgrades. Why? Some of our customers want simple and clean but ultimately cheap rooms. Some of our customers want 4-star hotels and are willing to pay more. Others want nothing short of 5-star extravagance. There isn’t a way to uphold ONE standard for hotels in our travel packages considering everyone has a different budget. What we CAN uphold are the standard and quality of our tours, all of which offer nothing short of a first-class experience. Again, upon request, we can upgrade your room type for the night included as well as book lodging for all nights on this tour. Let us know and we will provide you with pricing options.
Guides
Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating, and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It's a perfect balance. *Female guides are available upon request. Note that although virtually all activities on this multi-day tour are shared with other travelers, we can make the trip almost completely private, per your request. Typically, the only private activities are watching the sunset at Las Cabanas beach (near El Nido) and the sightseeing tour in and around Coron Town.
