Private Island Boat Tour
Board your private speedboat directly from your hotel beach. Cruise to the first stop for canoeing between El Nido's limestone karsts. Snorkelling stop with clown fish and pristine coral. Continue to a private island where lunch has been set up just for you — a thatched shelter, sun loungers, and a white sand beach with nobody else on it. Swim, snorkel, and relax at your own pace. Speedboat ride back to your hotel beach by mid-afternoon.

We booked this through our accommodation in El Nido in April 2025. The crew knew exactly where to go, the lunch on the private island was set up before we arrived, and the whole experience felt personal rather than packaged. Having a speedboat instead of an outrigger meant we covered more ground in half a day than most full-day group tours manage.
