The expedition

A 3-day sail through Linapacan.

Linapacan's reefs are so transparent boats appear to float in mid-air. Small groups, the same Filipino crew every trip, no agendas. Just islands, food, and water.

Itinerary

Three days, twelve islands.

A slow, scenic crossing through Linapacan and Culion — the archipelago between El Nido and Coron most travelers never see.

This is a one-way journey starting from one port and ending at the other. We will visit 2–5 highlight destinations each day (average 4), depending on weather conditions like winds, waves, and currents. Stay flexible — we adapt and create the best itinerary for you.
