YOUR ISLAND ROUTE

Stop by stop, at your own pace

Recommended planning windows—not guaranteed durations. The order, access and final stops depend on permits, tides, weather and your captain’s assessment.

01 / Miniloc · Lagoon

Big Lagoon

Plan 30–60 mins

Paddle into El Nido’s signature scene: luminous turquoise water framed by soaring limestone walls. Big Lagoon rewards a slow kayak journey, with quiet corners, mirror-like reflections and a fresh perspective at every turn. Your crew coordinates the entry slot; ask us about kayak arrangements when booking.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Leaving El Nido at 7:30 AM puts your day in motion ahead of the usual group-tour rhythm. We build the Miniloc circuit around your confirmed lagoon slot, making the most of the morning.

02 / Miniloc · Rock opening

Secret Lagoon

Plan 30–60 mins

Step through a natural limestone opening into a hidden pocket of water, enclosed by sculpted cliffs. Secret Lagoon turns a beach landing into a little adventure, with your guide choosing the best approach for the tide and swell.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Your private crew can visit when the entrance feels inviting, or enjoy a nearby beach first. Fast transfers make that tactical change effortless.

03 / Matinloc · Sheltered white sand

Hidden Beach

Plan 30–60 mins

Discover a pocket of white sand concealed behind limestone formations, with shallow turquoise water inviting you to slow down. Your guide leads the swim or wade according to the tide, and helps tailor the approach to your group’s comfort.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Reaching the outer islands swiftly gives your captain more choice over the visiting order. Hidden Beach can become an early highlight when the tide and approach are favorable.

04 / Cadlao · Emerald-water paddling

Cadlao Lagoon

Plan 30–60 mins

Emerald water and high limestone walls give Cadlao Lagoon an intimate, sheltered feel. Slow down for swimming, paddling and photographs in one of Bacuit Bay’s most beautiful settings; your crew can help arrange the equipment that suits your plans.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Fast transfers give you more flexibility to linger here. Ask us to make Cadlao your opening highlight, and we will shape the route around your priorities and the day’s access.

05 / Matinloc · Hidden limestone cove

Secret Beach

Plan 30–60 mins

A sea-level opening reveals a small beach tucked inside Matinloc’s limestone walls. With your guide beside you, the entrance becomes part of the adventure; the crew checks swell and swimming confidence before choosing the right approach.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Your crew can time the visit around the entrance conditions and move between nearby highlights as needed. That flexibility keeps the experience rewarding rather than rushed.

06 / Beach · Palm-fringed finale

7 Commando Beach

Plan 30–60 mins

Finish with bare feet in soft sand and a swim beneath a palm-lined coast. 7 Commando Beach is a classic El Nido finale, equally lovely for a last dip, beach photographs or a relaxed moment aboard your private boat.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

Prefer this beach in the morning? Tell us. Your private schedule lets the crew weave your favorite stop into the part of the day that suits you best.

07 / Dilumacad · Beach & reef

Helicopter Island

Plan 30–60 mins

Cruise toward Dilumacad’s unmistakable helicopter-shaped silhouette, then trade cushioned seating for a beach swim and reef exploration. Open-bay views and dramatic limestone make this a striking introduction to El Nido’s outer islands.

Why 7:30 AM + Speedboat Matters Here

An early crossing opens up the Tour C circuit while the captain reads the wind and sea. Your crew selects the island’s most comfortable swimming side for the day.

BEAT THE CROWDS

An earlier start. A different rhythm.

An indicative private-day plan compared with an illustrative 9:00 AM group departure—not live boat positions or a guaranteed schedule. Confirm your actual return time with our team.

7:30 AM

Private departure across Bacuit Bay

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Settle into cushioned seating beneath the shaded canopy. After your briefing, Yamaha 150HP power carries your group toward Miniloc for the opening lagoon circuit.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

A typical 9:00 AM shared departure begins later, with guests still preparing for the group meeting.

8:00–9:30 AM

Big Lagoon early, Secret Lagoon next

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Enjoy Big Lagoon kayaking around your coordinated entry slot, then let your guide lead the Secret Lagoon approach when conditions suit.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

A later-starting group begins its island transfers; most shared routes follow either Tour A or Tour C.

9:30–11:30 AM

Swift crossing to Hidden & Secret Beach

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Cross Bacuit Bay efficiently and explore Matinloc’s limestone-framed beaches. Your captain chooses the order around the tide and your guide leads the water entrances.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

Longer crossings leave a conventional boat with less time to combine the lagoon and outer-beach circuits.

11:30 AM–12:30 PM

Fresh Filipino beach buffet

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Pause at a crew-selected beach for your included Filipino BBQ buffet, a swim and a well-earned stretch of island time.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

Shared lunch follows the boat’s group schedule and selected beach setting.

12:30–2:30 PM

Cadlao Lagoon & Helicopter Island

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Slow the pace in Cadlao’s emerald water, then enjoy Helicopter Island’s beach and reef scenery. These contrasting stops complete the outer-island chapter.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

A single-circuit group continues its afternoon stops, with less scope to move between both routes.

2:30–3:30 PM

7 Commando finale & homeward cruise

YOU · PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT

Finish with a palm-fringed beach pause at 7 Commando, then cruise toward El Nido with your favorite music and a bay full of memories. The crew confirms your return timing.

ILLUSTRATIVE · COMMERCIAL BANGKA

The shared boat returns after its planned circuit, on the operator’s timetable.

WHY SPEEDBOAT ON THIS ROUTE

Less transfer time. More choice.

Your private speedboat experience

Yamaha 150HP power connects the two circuits swiftly, while your crew plans Big Lagoon entry and the outer-beach approaches. Cushioned seating, canopy shade and Bluetooth sound keep the journey as enjoyable as the destinations.

A 7:30 AM start opens more routing options before the mid-morning group rhythm. Your captain uses lagoon arrangements and the sea conditions to pick the smartest sequence.

Conventional group-boat rhythm

Most shared bangka tours focus on one island circuit. Linking Miniloc’s lagoons with the outer beaches means more cruising and a tighter balance between the headline stops.

Efficient crossings give a seven-highlight day room for kayaking, swimming and a proper beach buffet. Visit lengths are balanced across the combined route.

PRIVATE BOAT · SHARED COST

Traveling in a group or family? Do the math.

For families and small groups of 4 to 8+ guests, a private speedboat charter is the smartest value in El Nido. Splitting the private charter brings your cost down to competitive per-person rates—giving you 5x faster cruising, total privacy, cushioned seating, and hours of extra beach time compared to slow wooden bangkas.

Your 4-guest charter: ₱27,100
