Beyond its well-loved destinations, the island also boasts remote regions where teeming reefs, crystal-clear waters, and secluded beaches highlight why it is often referred to as the Philippines’ last frontier.
From this natural paradise, you’ll journey to the peaceful village of Sibaltan, a quiet coastal community on the eastern side of El Nido town known for its serene charm and traditional way of life.
Your adventure continues toward the island group of Linapacan, famed for having some of the clearest waters in the world, so transparent that you can see the seabed even from a moving boat.
This private tour offers everything you need for a seamless island experience. It includes convenient transfers, a knowledgeable local guide, and the use of kayaks. A personal chef and delicious traditional Filipino dishes, snacks, fruits, pastries, and chilled drinks are also included.
You’ll also enjoy the use of masks and snorkels, allowing you to explore the vibrant underwater scenery. Fishing is also available upon request for those who want to try their luck at sea.

After a short safety briefing, you’ll set off into the open sea, instantly surrounded by calm waters, distant mountains, and untouched islands, setting the tone for a day of exploration and discovery.

Your journey continues to Linapacan Island, a remote paradise known for having some of the clearest waters in the Philippines, pristine beaches, and untouched natural landscapes.
