What is included in the ₱9,000 per guest price?

Shared speedboat seat, snorkeling gear, island fees and permits, fresh-cooked lunch, English-speaking guide, and bottled water throughout the day.

How is this different from the regular bangka tour?

Speedboats reach the islands in 20 to 30 minutes instead of 60 to 90 minutes by traditional bangka — meaning more time at each stop and a smoother ride.

Which islands do we visit?

The classic Tour A circuit (Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island, 7 Commandos Beach) or Tour C (Hidden Beach, Matinloc Shrine, Secret Beach, Helicopter Island, Star Beach). Choose at booking.

What time does the boat depart?

8:00 AM pickup from your El Nido hotel. Return to El Nido by 5:00 PM.

Is this suitable for families with kids?

Yes. Life vests sized for children are available. Speedboats are smoother than traditional boats, which families with small children prefer.
