Description

Discover the raw beauty of El Nido town on Palawan Island with this 3-day tour package, where you’ll kayak across the crystal-clear waters of Bacuit Bay, camp on its secluded beaches, explore sea caves and lagoons, and experience this paradise far from the usual tourist trail.

Palawan Island, often referred to as the "Last Frontier of the Philippines," is famed for its unspoiled beaches, towering rock formations, and vibrant marine life. 

El Nido town, situated on its northern coast, is a beautiful destination renowned for its stunning islands and crystal-clear lagoons.

This El Nido town tour package takes the stress out of planning and helps you save time and money. It includes two nights of accommodation in native-style beach huts, all meals, transfers, a dedicated kayak guide, and complete sea kayaking gear for a smooth adventure.

On day 1 of your sea kayaking expedition in El Nido town, your journey begins early with a meet-up at Art Café. There, you’ll meet your sea kayak guide, who is certified by the American Canoe Association (ACA)—a recognition that ensures they’re well-trained in safety, paddling techniques, and trip leadership. You’ll also receive an essential briefing about the upcoming days ahead. 

Once you're ready, you’ll travel to the launch point and begin your paddle out of El Nido town, setting off across the breathtaking expanse of Bacuit Bay. As you move away from the bustle of the main shore, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the peaceful rhythm of the sea and the rising rock cliffs. You’ll glide across calm waters and take in views that most travelers never get to see.

Around lunchtime, you’ll arrive on a scenic beach where you can relax and enjoy a fresh island-style meal. After the break, you’ll continue to paddle toward your accommodation for the night—Kayakasia’s native beach camp, set on a remote and beautiful beach once used as a filming site for Survivor, a famous reality television show.

As the sun begins to dip, you’ll settle into your native beach hut and take in the quiet charm of your surroundings. With a delicious dinner served by the sea and the sound of waves in the background, you can unwind and prepare for more adventure in the days ahead.

On day 2, you’ll wake up to the soft sound of waves and the peaceful calm of your remote beach camp. 

After enjoying breakfast by the sea, you’ll get back into your kayak and begin exploring the quieter southern side of Bacuit Bay.

This part of El Nido town is less visited and full of underrated wonders. You’ll paddle through around 14 kilometers of calm water, passing by quiet beaches and island trails. 

Along the way, you’ll reach sandbanks that appear during low tide, perfect for walking, cooling off, and taking photos in the middle of the sea.

As you continue your journey, you’ll discover sea caves and arches that are part of the rocky coastline. With your kayak, you can paddle right into these formations and explore them up close—something larger boats can’t do. 

In some spots, you can even step out of your kayak to walk around inside the caves and see the raw beauty of these natural spaces for yourself.

You’ll take your time, stopping at peaceful beaches to rest and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch. These quiet moments are what make the experience truly special, allowing you to connect with the natural surroundings at your own pace.

Before the day ends, you’ll paddle back to camp, just in time to catch the sunset over the bay. As the sky turns shades of orange and pink, you’ll sit down for another delicious seaside dinner and reflect on a day full of adventure and discovery.

On your last day, you’ll wake before sunrise for one final paddle through the waters of Bacuit Bay. 

To truly enjoy what this place is known for, you’ll need an early start. As the sky begins to lighten, you’ll head toward El Nido town’s most iconic lagoons, arriving before the crowds and noise of the day.

As you glide across calm waters, you’ll enter hidden lagoons surrounded by towering rock cliffs and crystal-clear waters. This quiet hour offers a more serene and intimate experience, allowing you to fully take in the natural beauty around you.

After a tranquil morning on the water, you’ll return to your beach camp to rest and prepare. You’ll then begin your return journey to Corong-Corong town. There, your adventure comes to a close, with unforgettable memories to take with you.

Day 1
Exciting 3-Day Sea Kayaking in El Nido Town Tour Package on Palawan Island with Accommodation - day 1

Day 1 - Day 1: El Nido Town on Palawan Island

Today marks the start of your unforgettable sea kayaking journey through the island paradise of El Nido.

Your day begins with your ACA-certified sea kayak guide meeting you at the iconic Art Café. Being ACA-certified means your guide is trained in kayaking safety and navigation, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

After a short expedition briefing, you’ll head out to the starting point and begin to paddle into the calm, scenic waters of Bacuit Bay.

Bacuit Bay is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, featuring dramatic rock formations that rise straight from the sea, turquoise waters that stretch in every direction, and an endless array of hidden beaches and coves waiting to be discovered. 

As you paddle deeper into the bay, you'll get an incredible view of the raw, natural landscape that makes El Nido town one of the Philippines' most iconic destinations.

Around lunchtime, you’ll pause on a beautiful beach where a hearty island meal awaits. It's the perfect time to recharge and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before continuing your journey.

Later in the afternoon, you’ll reach a remote and stunning shoreline that will be your home for the night. Once featured on the reality television show Survivor, this exclusive beach is tucked away from the crowds and surrounded by pure natural beauty. 

You’ll settle into a cozy native beach hut just steps from the sea, with nothing but the sound of waves and the scent of the ocean breeze to keep you company.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll enjoy a delicious seaside dinner that brings the day to a perfect close. Whether you're here for the adventure or the serenity, this first day offers a rare chance to experience this side of Palawan Island in its most untouched form.

Day 2 - Day 2: El Nido Town on Palawan Island

After a peaceful night by the sea, you’ll begin your second day with a hearty breakfast before setting out to explore the southern part of Bacuit Bay. 

This area is quieter, less frequented by tourists, and full of natural treasures waiting to be discovered. 

From your beach camp, you'll paddle roughly 14 kilometers through scenic waters, with plenty of opportunities to stop and explore along the way.

One of the day’s highlights is reaching long, shallow stretches of white sand that appear during low tide. These sandbanks create a magical scene where you can walk far out into the water, swim, relax, and take in the surrounding beauty. 

During one of your stops, you’ll take a break for lunch and enjoy a simple but delicious island meal right by the shore.

As you continue along the coastline, you’ll paddle into hidden sea caves and beneath rock arches carved out by years of waves and wind. Unlike boats that can only linger at the entrance, your sea kayak gives you the chance to go inside and experience these formations from within. 

Some caves are also large enough to step out and explore on foot, letting you fully appreciate the textures and echoing spaces inside the cliffs.

In the late afternoon, you’ll arrive at your beach camp just in time to watch the sunset. Dinner will be served by the sea, with the sky painted in soft colors as the day comes to a peaceful close.

Day 3 - Day 3: Departure from El Nido Town on Palawan Island

Your last day begins early with a delectable breakfast by the beach. 

After eating, you’ll get back in your kayak, this time heading toward the most famous part of Bacuit Bay—its charming lagoons. 

Starting before sunrise means you’ll reach them before the boats and crowds arrive, giving you a peaceful and unforgettable experience.

The paddle covers about 10 kilometers through calm waters, with the soft morning light reflecting off the sea and rock cliffs. As you enter the lagoons, you’ll find quiet corners, towering rock walls, and crystal-clear waters, all without the usual noise and traffic. 

Reaching the lagoons during this quiet time allows you to fully appreciate their beauty, with still waters, gentle reflections, and a calm atmosphere that’s hard to find later in the day.

After exploring the lagoons, you’ll paddle back to your beach camp for a well-earned lunch and some time to rest. Once everything is packed and ready, you’ll begin your final paddle back to Corong-Corong town. The return trip marks the end of your expedition.
