About this experience

Joiners tour: this is a shared island-hopping tour. You join other travellers on the same boat and itinerary, which keeps the price low and makes it easy to meet fellow travellers.

Tour A is El Nido’s most famous island-hopping route and the one with the iconic lagoons. Glide into the towering limestone walls of the Big Lagoon, squeeze through a small opening into the hidden Secret Lagoon, snorkel the clear waters of Shimizu Island and relax on the white sand of Seven Commandos.

Meet your guide at Jarace Grill in downtown El Nido at 8:45 AM and board the boat at 9:00 AM. Your day includes boat transfers, a tour guide, entrance fees and a picnic lunch, before returning to town at around 4:00 PM.

Good to know: this is a joiners (shared) tour, so other travellers will be on the same boat and itinerary. The El Nido Eco-tourism Development Fee and any lagoon user’s fees are not included and are paid locally. Snorkel gear, towels and aqua shoes can be rented. Premium stops have limited daily slots, so book early: if a stop is unavailable on your date, the boat may go to another destination instead. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and please tell us about any dietary requirements when booking. The tour is not recommended for guests with heart problems or other serious medical conditions and is not wheelchair accessible. Tours run subject to weather; if cancelled because of bad weather, you can choose another date or tour.
