FAQ

Common questions about the 3D2N expedition.

Choosing your trip

Same boat, same islands, and the same date-based seasonal price — only the start/end towns flip. Choose El Nido → Coron if you are already in El Nido or flying via Puerto Princesa. Choose Coron → El Nido if you fly into Busuanga (USU) and want to finish near El Nido.
The El Nido to Coron crossings finish in the other town. The Linapacan Premium Expedition is still 3 days and 2 nights. Both nights are glamping in a real bed at Parada Beach Camp, and it starts and finishes in El Nido. Yohak operates it. Seatours sells it from ₱28,000 per person.
Shared = per-person seats on our capped 24–28 guest expeditions — best value and social vibe. Private = flat boat price for your group only, your pace, from ₱220,000. Compare in the table above or visit private 3D2N charter.
A ferry gets you across in one long day with no stops. The expedition is three days of island hopping, snorkeling, beach camps, and meals — the journey is the trip. Read the comparison

Money & booking

50% deposit by bank transfer when you book on the product page. Balance due on Day 1 of the expedition. Private charter uses the same deposit structure from ₱220,000.
Yes — charter the whole route for your party from ₱220,000 (small boat ≤10 pax) or larger vessel for up to 24 pax. Same islands and inclusions, your pace. Check private charter dates

On the boat

We cap each shared departure at 24 to 28 guests + 10 crew on a 90ft hardwood expedition vessel licensed for 60 pax. We run a comfortable group size — not a packed joiner boat.

Waterproof 20–50L overnight bag, day bag with sunscreen and toiletries, reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, headlamp, rain protection, and power banks. Main luggage stays on the boat and is inaccessible for 3 days.
