(and we'll do the cooking)

On average, a trip lasts 6 hours and usually leaves quite early in the morning, around 9:00am. Our boats are moored just offshore from the resort so it is a door to door service. BBQ lunch is cooked on board by the crew and is included in the cost of the tour. Snack food and drinks for your trip can be purchased from the hotel restaurant prior to departure.

Masks and snorkels are provided free of charge on board but deluxe swim fins if required have to be hired from the reception at ₱ 100 per day. It is highly recommended for all passengers to wear shoes that can be worn in the water, ideally Aqua Shoes or similar. Flip flops are absolutely not suitable.

... You're in Safe Hands

... ARE As easy as abc (and D)

The tour system in the El Nido area classifies each tour to include a collection of four or five islands and each of these island groups are classified as Tours A, B, C and D. All boat and tour operators refer to the same group of islands using the same letter code.

As part of the implementation of the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) of El Nido, Secret Beach, Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon can no longer be visited on the same day. The number of tourist boats and kayaks will be limited and time slots will be issued per visit. This means we will not be able to guarantee what time you will be going to Big Lagoon or Small Lagoon.

The PAMB has also started collecting a user fee of PHP 200 per person each visit for Secret Beach, Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon. This is in addition to the PHP 200 Eco-Tourism Development Fee (ETDF) collected for all tours.

The local government unit of El Nido has released a notice that bans bringing of single-use plastic such as bottled water and any other drinks placed in a plastic bottle when going on an island tour, please bring your own tumblers.

Everyone is requested to bring their trash back to their boat upon leaving the island after the tour.
