If you're arriving as a cruise passenger, you can upgrade your tour to include convenient boat pick-up and drop-off from Cadlao Island, the designated docking point for cruise ships.

This optional transfer not only ensures a smooth and hassle-free journey but also automatically transforms your tour into a private experience, providing you with added comfort and greater flexibility throughout your El Nido town adventure.

It’s recommended that you bring snorkeling gear so you can make the most of El Nido town’s clear waters and colorful marine life during your island hopping tour.

On the day of your exciting journey, your guide will meet you at the starting point of your island hopping tour. You will enjoy a scenic boat ride as your tour guide brings you to the marvelous lagoons and beaches you will visit.

The highlight of your trip is the iconic Big Lagoon, celebrated for its spellbinding natural beauty and captivating blue waters. As you glide into the lagoon, you'll be surrounded by majestic cliffs that create a dramatic and awe-inspiring backdrop.

You can step into the sparkling blue waters for a refreshing swim or simply float and soak up the calming atmosphere.
