Description

Embark on a remarkable adventure through the tranquil rivers of El Nido town with this private eco-tour, which takes you on a serene kayak journey through the Dewil Mangrove Forest.

While El Nido town in Palawan Island is best known for its islands and lagoons, the mainland is also home to remarkable natural wonders waiting to be explored. 

This private kayak tour takes you to the Dewil Mangrove Forest, known for its unique ecosystem, tranquil rivers, and vital role in the coastal environment. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful escape and a different perspective of El Nido town’s natural beauty.

On this eco-friendly tour, you’ll enjoy a smooth journey with the use of premium inflatable sea kayaks, paddles, life vests, and a dry bag to keep your belongings safe. A tasty snack will also be provided to keep you energized during your adventure.

A knowledgeable local guide will also accompany you throughout the day to share insights about the importance of mangrove ecosystems and ensure you get the best experience during your kayak tour.

For a stress-free trip, you can upgrade this tour to include roundtrip transfers from your hotel in El Nido town.

If you did not avail of the transfer upgrade, your guide will meet you at the Dewil Mangrove Association’s visitor center. You'll be provided with all your gear before being led to the river's edge where your kayak awaits, setting the stage for a day of exhilarating wonders.

This eco-tour offers a unique experience unlike the usual island hopping adventures in El Nido town. As you paddle through the winding river, you'll feel an immediate sense of peace and quiet, surrounded by the lush, dense canopy of mangrove trees. The calm waters create a peaceful atmosphere, giving you time to fully enjoy the sights and sounds of this hidden world.

Your guide will share stories about the importance of mangroves, from providing shelter to wildlife to protecting coastal communities from erosion and other environmental hazards. You’ll also gain a deeper appreciation of how these forests serve as nurseries for marine life, making them vital to Palawan Island’s rich biodiversity.

The experience is not just about kayaking but about connecting with nature at a slower pace. After your peaceful journey, you will return to the visitor center with your guide, or your private transfer upgrade will escort you back to El Nido town. 

From there, you can explore more of El Nido town or relax at a nearby café while remembering the picturesque beauty of the mangrove forest.
