Two islands. One unforgettable archipelago.
Palawan is the Philippines' most extraordinary province — and within it, El Nido and Coron stand apart as two of the world's most breathtaking island destinations. Each is distinct. Both are unmissable.
El Nido
“Where towering cliffs guard secret lagoons, and every turn of the kayak reveals a world most travelers never find.”
El Nido is Palawan distilled to its purest form — a protected seascape of dramatic karst limestone, hidden lagoons reachable only through narrow cliff passages, and coral reefs that rank among the finest in Southeast Asia. This is not a place you simply visit. It is a place that stays with you — provided you have someone who truly knows how to unlock it.
EL NIDO PRIVATE DAY CHARTER
Your El Nido. Your pace. Your itinerary. Your day.
DURATION: Full day - 8 hrs
DEPARTURE: 7:00 - 8:00 AM
GROUP SIZE: Private - 15 guests
VESSEL: Speedboat or private yacht
7:00 AM DEPARTURE
Welcome aboard
Your vessel and crew are ready at the pier. Chilled towels, a welcome drink, and a quick briefing from your guide then you cast off before the crowds even stir. El Nido at this hour belongs almost entirely to you.
Early departure is our first gift to you
8:00 AM FIRST STOP
The Small Lagoon
Accessible only by kayak through a narrow cliff passage, the Small Lagoon rewards the early riser with mirror-still water, towering limestone walls, and an almost surreal quiet. Your guide leads the way and knows exactly where to go.
Kayaks provided. Guide accompanies you
9:30 AM SECOND STOP
The Big Lagoon
Wider, more open, and no less dramatic the Big Lagoon offers a panorama of emerald water framed by sheer karst cliffs that has made El Nido one of the most photographed seascapes on earth. Swim, kayak, or simply drift.
11:00 AM SNORKEL STOP
Coral Garden
Your guide selects the finest reef of the day based on conditions and tides private snorkel site teeming with reef fish, sea turtles, and living coral. No tour groups. No ropes. Just open water and the reef beneath you.
Equipment provided. All skill levels welcome
12:30 PM LUNCH
Private beach lunch
A secluded white-sand beach, set for your group alone. Fresh grilled seafood, local dishes, tropical fruit, and cold drinks served with care, in a setting most travelers never find. This is not a packed lunch. It is a proper meal, in a remarkable place.
Freshly prepared. Dietary requirements accommodated
2:00 PM AFTERNOON
Secret Beach - Hidden Coves
The afternoon is yours to shape. Secret Beach reachable only by swimming through a narrow rock passage is one of El Nido's most coveted spots. Or we anchor at a quiet cove, and you do nothing at all. Both are perfect choices.
5:00 PM RETURN
Sunset on the water
The return journey is timed so the light is doing something remarkable over the limestone cliffs. Cold drinks in hand, the crew takes care of everything. You simply watch the sky turn gold over Palawan.
Return to pier by 5:30 - 6:00 PM
Coron
“Emerald lakes above. A fleet of sunken warships below. Coron is a destination of extraordinary contrasts — and extraordinary depth.”
Coron captivates on two planes. Beneath the surface, the WWII Japanese warships of Coron Bay — now draped in coral and alive with marine life — form one of the world’s great dive sites. Above water, Kayangan Lake, consistently rated among Asia’s clearest, shimmers impossibly still behind a clifftop panorama that stops even seasoned travelers cold. Add Twin Lagoon, Barracuda Lake, and a scattering of pristine island beaches, and Coron becomes something close to a revelation.
CORON PRIVATE DAY CHARTER
Above water, below water. Coron rewards every sense.
DURATION: Full day - 8 hrs
DEPARTURE: 7:00 - 8:00 AM
GROUP SIZE: Private - 15 guests
VESSEL: Speedboat or private yacht
7:00 AM DEPARTURE
Welcome aboard
Your private vessel is ready at Coron Town pier. Chilled towels, welcome drinks, and a personal briefing from your guide. You depart while the water is glassy and the bay is yours alone.
Early start beats the tour boat crowd by hours
8:00 AM FIRST STOP
Kayangan Lake Asia's Clearest Lake
A short climb up a limestone viewpoint delivers one of Palawan's most breathtaking panoramas Coron Bay framed by jagged karst peaks. Then down into the lake itself: emerald-green, impossibly still, and hauntingly clear. You'll understand immediately why this place is legendary.
Iconic viewpoint. Swimming in the lake. Freshwater & saltwater layers.
9:30 AM SECOND STOP
Twin Lagoon
Two lagoons connected by a narrow underwater passage one open, one enclosed within towering limestone walls. At low tide, you swim through. At high tide, your guide knows another way. Either way, what awaits on the other side is one of Coron's finest secrets.
Tidal-dependent. Your guide times it perfectly
11:00 AM SNORKEL STOP
Coral Garden Reef snorkeling
A pristine shallow reef selected by your guide based on the day's conditions. Parrotfish, clownfish, sea turtles, and coral formations in water so clear you can see the bottom from the boat. Equipment provided, all levels welcome.
Private site. No crowds.
12:30 PM LUNCH
Private beach lunch Malcapuya or Banana Island
White sand, turquoise water, and a freshly prepared meal served just for your group. Grilled fish, local dishes, cold drinks, and tropical fruit in a setting most visitors only glimpse from a passing boat. Your crew handles everything; you simply enjoy it.
Freshly prepared. Dietary needs accommodated
2:00 PM AFTERNOON
Barracuda Lake or free swim
Barracuda Lake is Coron's most unusual experience a thermocline lake where warm and cold layers of water meet beneath your feet, and the resident barracuda circles lazily below. Eerie, beautiful, and completely unlike anywhere else. Or simply ask to anchor in a quiet cove and do absolutely nothing. That works too.
5:00 PM RETURN
Sunset across Coron Bay
The return crossing through Coron Bay at golden hour is one of the great quiet pleasures of Palawan. Limestone silhouettes, a horizon on fire, cold drinks in hand. Your crew takes care of the rest.
Return to the pier by 5:30 - 6:00 PM
