Going island hopping in El Nido is one of the dreams of countless travelers who want to visit the Philippines. Cruising on traditional Filipino boats, the bangkas, around the islands of the Bacuit Archipelago is a spectacular show of color. The turquoise hue of the water blends with the black of the towering karst limestone walls that pierce the deep blue sky and are dotted with palm trees and other lush greenery. Just when you think your eyes can’t take in any more beauty, you jump into the water and discover vibrant reefs: clownfish, sea stars in multiple shades, corals, and the occasional turtle popping by to say hello. These excursions are the must-do things to do in El Nido, and coming all the way to this corner of the planet without doing them would be a real sin.
That’s why we want to tell you here everything about island hopping in El Nido: what they’re like, which ones to do, who to book with, how much they cost, and what to keep in mind when planning them.
What is island hopping in El Nido, Philippines like? What is it?
The Bacuit Archipelago is a group of 48 islands and islets located near the town of El Nido, Palawan. You could spend weeks exploring them, but locals have grouped 20 spots into 4 El Nido tours, which have been running for over 15 years. They have the “original” names A, B, C, and D.
El Nido excursions are done aboard a bangka, a typical Philippine boat with outrigger-style “skids” on the sides for added stability. The size of the bangkas depends on how many passengers they can carry; capacities range from roughly 6 to 30 people, although, if you want and are willing to pay for it, you can also do a tour just for yourself.
Island hopping? What is it? It’s simply getting on one of these boats and letting yourself be carried along. There’s usually a guide on board to give basic explanations of the route, a couple of assistants, and a captain. You’ll make various stops at beaches, lagoons, and snorkeling spots. At some point, a buffet-style lunch is served either on a beach or on the boat itself. All you have to worry about is soaking up as much beauty as possible.
The guides in El Nido speak English, but this shouldn’t worry you even if yours isn’t perfect. The briefings are basic; there aren’t cultural or historical explanations. They’ll even make an effort to take photos for you and have no issue carrying your phone in their waterproof cases, doing everything they can to keep it dry.
Our first experience with El Nido island hopping was back in 2010. At that time, when the town didn’t even have 24-hour electricity, everything was done privately and there was hardly any tourism. However, the situation has changed radically, and with the extraordinary increase in visitor numbers, the tourism office has been forced to regulate El Nido excursions.
At the end of 2018, some activities were restricted, such as overnight excursions—meaning you can no longer sleep on the islands (as you still can on the island hopping in Coron)—and access to both the Big Lagoon and the Small Lagoon was limited. These are two of the most important stops on the El Nido tours: beautiful lagoons surrounded by high karst rock walls. To prevent them from being destroyed by overtourism, there’s a daily quota of people allowed into each one, so agencies must reserve slots. In addition, you can’t visit both on the same day: one is included on Tour A and the other on Tour D.
Where do El Nido island hopping tours depart from? What time?
It depends on where the agency you booked with keeps their boats. They can depart from El Nido Town beach itself or from Corong Corong beach. In any case, don’t worry—it won’t take you more than 10 minutes/50 pesos to get from one to the other. Some companies also include pickup from your hotel, while others will ask you to meet at their office.
As for the El Nido tour schedules, shared tours usually start around 9:00. If you decide to go private—which we think is absolutely essential to avoid the crowds—you can leave from 7:00 onward. It’s common to be back between 15:00 and 16:00, but it will also depend on your departure time and, if it’s a private tour, things can run a little longer.
If you have time after your tour, you could go watch the sunset at Las Cabañas, Corong Corong, or Lio Beach. We talk more about this in Best sunsets in El Nido.
Is it necessary to do excursions in El Nido?
Without the slightest doubt: yes. And to make it even clearer: coming to El Nido and not going island hopping is like never having set foot here.
El Nido Town is a rather plain-looking village and, although there are a couple of nearby beaches that aren’t bad (you’ll find more information in Best beaches in El Nido), the truth is what makes this corner of the world special are the islands and islets of Bacuit Bay. The only way to admire these landscapes as they deserve is aboard a bangka on El Nido’s traditional island hopping tours.
Island hopping prices in El Nido: how much is it?
How much does island hopping in El Nido cost? It depends on the type of tour, the agency, and whether you do it privately or with a shared group. Even so, in general, prices range between 1,200 and 2,000 pesos per person. These usually include lunch, drinking water, and a soft drink.
Lunch typically consists of grilled fish, some chicken or pork, cucumber-and-tomato salad, grilled eggplant (ensaladang talong), shrimp, rice, sauces, and fruit. Water is also usually included and sometimes a soft drink like Coca-Cola.
On top of that, add the 400-peso Eco Tourist Development Fee (ETDF), an environmental fee paid once and valid for 5 days. You’ll also need to add the cost of the kayaks you rent at the lagoons, between 300 and 350 pesos depending on size. As of today, renting a kayak is mandatory for the Small and Big Lagoon and highly recommended for Cadlao Lagoon.
Finally, if you enter the Big Lagoon or Small Lagoon, you need to factor in 200 pesos per person for each as an entrance fee.

Island hopping in El Nido: private or shared?
The million-dollar question! After doing all the El Nido tours several times and in every possible way, we can tell you that it’s 100% worth doing a private island hopping tour in El Nido. That means hiring an agency but having them organize a tour exclusively for you, where you set the pace, choose which stops you want and when. This way you forget about boats with 30 people (some blasting music), the crowds at places everyone visits at the same time, and, above all, the feeling of being herded like sheep.
On top of that, as we said above, private tours can leave at 7:00 a.m., whereas shared tours depart around 9:00–9:30, which means you can be at spectacular places like Big Lagoon ALL BY YOURSELVES. We’re not just saying that—here in 2025 we did all the tours again and enjoyed them more than ever this way.
Plus, if you do a private island hopping in El Nido, you also have the ability to choose other stops beyond the standard ones, as long as the agency or guide allows it. Without straying too far (because of fuel or route permissions), the guide can suggest other interesting places and mix-and-match tours.
We assume you’ve landed on this page (to which we devote a lot of love every day) in search of incredible experiences; we share a lot here, but one of our most important recommendations is to really take our advice: book a private tour in El Nido with a good company.
It’s true that private island hopping in El Nido is considerably more expensive than in Coron, but if you can find more travelers and make a nice group of 6–8 people, the price difference isn’t that big—and it’s absolutely worth it.
If you want the CONTACT DETAILS OF OUR TRUSTED AGENCY IN EL NIDO, we’ll be happy to share them if you leave a comment asking for them. Why risk it with a shady company?
When to book? In our opinion, if you want a private island hopping tour, book about 3 weeks in advance so you can form a group. Keep an eye out if you’re visiting El Nido at Christmas or Easter, when things get busier and it can be hard to find slots for the Big or Small Lagoon.
Price of a private tour in El Nido
The price of a private tour in El Nido depends on the number of travelers (which determines the boat size), but generally, for 4–6 people, it usually comes to between 10,000 and 12,000 pesos per boat. This typically includes lunch and snorkeling gear, and you’ll need to add what we mentioned above: environmental fee, lagoon visit fee, and kayak.
With more travelers—say 8 or 10—the price is around 15,000–17,000 pesos per boat, so, doing the math, the difference compared with a “shared” tour isn’t huge.
We’ve even paid for a tour for just the two of us and didn’t regret it for a second. The guide went out of his way to take us to places when no one was there. If he saw too many boats, we’d go to the next stop and then return later to enjoy it in solitude. It was truly incredible.
Island hopping by speedboat and others
If you really want to go all out, there are companies that run El Nido tours on speedboats or even yachts. They even have private “base camps” with all sorts of comforts. They’re pricier, but the experience is radically different because they make a point of taking you to less crowded places—and it adds an exclusive touch to island hopping in El Nido. Check out:

Tips for doing the tours in El Nido
Here are a few tips from our own experience after 15 years of doing island hopping in El Nido:
- First and foremost: do a private tour.
- Don’t choose a company on price alone when booking El Nido excursions. Honestly, a couple of dollars can make all the difference—and you didn’t come all this way for a dodgy tour. As we said, if the budget allows, go private or by speedboat. We can share a contact we’ve had for years and have already sent thousands of travelers to.
- The best time to visit El Nido is from December to May. If you want to avoid heavy tourism, it’s best to skip Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Easter. That said, you can do El Nido excursions any time of year; just note that during the rainy season the water can be choppier due to wind.
- If the weather turns, the tour that most often gets canceled is Tour C because it’s the farthest; if the sea is rough, it won’t run. The coast guard decides whether boats can depart.
- If you do a private tour, try to leave as early as possible (you can at 7:00, though they need to do coast guard paperwork and sometimes the departure is delayed a bit—good agencies do their best). Shared excursions usually start at 9:00 and, unfortunately, we’ve had to wait until 10:30 on group tours… In most cases you’ll return around 16:00–16:30.
- If they don’t hand them to you, remember to ask for the environmental fee receipts (400 pesos). They’re nominal and valid for 5 days, so you’ll need to show them on your next island hopping tour.
- If you have any food allergies or follow a special diet, let the agency know the day before your excursion so they can prepare lunch accordingly.
- One essential for El Nido island hopping is a dry bag. It’ll protect your valuables from splashes on the boat. Keep in mind these aren’t suitable for snorkeling or submerging deeply (speaking from experience). You can buy them in El Nido (they’re literally sold everywhere) or pick some up online before your trip—like these.
- Bring your camera or not? We always carry ours, and the drone too. Of course, we protect them from water and don’t take them into the lagoons.
- Be very careful when flying a drone during El Nido island hopping. Keep it as far as possible from the karst rock walls; it’s said there are electromagnetic currents around them that can make drones crash (you wouldn’t believe how many have been lost in El Nido…), and sudden gusts of wind can also catch you off guard. You can read more about drones in Flying a drone in the Philippines.
- Most El Nido excursions include the use of a snorkeling set in the price. However, since they’re often not in the best condition—and, as you can imagine, well “used”—we recommend bringing your own. It’ll also save you from having to rent one elsewhere on your Philippines trip.
- Bring plenty of sunscreen, ideally biodegradable. Better yet, wear sun-protective swim shirts—you can find them very cheap at Decathlon.
- Your best allies will be reef shoes. They’ll help you avoid unnecessary cuts on your feet and make it easier to get in and out of caves and beaches. You can buy a pair like these. You can rent them at any little shop in El Nido, but for hygiene, having your own is much better.
- Even if you’ve already paid for the tour, carry some cash. Remember you’ll need to pay for kayaks to enter some lagoons, and you might fancy a coconut or beer at a stop. Don’t worry—you can leave your money in your backpack; no one’s going to steal it.
- We suggest traveling with good travel insurance for the Philippines like the one we use because, if you need urgent care during your island hopping in El Nido (hopefully not), it’ll cost a fortune. Here’s a 5% discount.
Where to stay for El Nido island hopping
The most convenient bases for El Nido island hopping are El Nido Town and Corong Corong. Boats exploring Bacuit Bay depart from both villages, although the vast majority of agencies are in El Nido Town. You could also stay around Las Cabañas or Lio Beach, as it won’t take longer than 20 minutes by tricycle to reach the departure point. Here are some recommendations:
- Budget hotels: Love Vega Hometel | BaleCabugaoCottagesRental
- Mid-range hotels: Corong Beach Resort | South Anchorage Inn
- Treat-yourself stays (without going overboard): Last Frontier Beach Resort

El Nido island hopping, one by one — which is the best tour in El Nido?
Now that you know everything about excursions in El Nido, here’s what each tour includes and why it’s interesting. Keep in mind that stops can be modified depending on weather or group preferences. Also note that the order can change according to tides or sea conditions. Some stops won’t be possible if there’s heavy swell, so always listen to the guides.
If you book a private tour, the order can also be tweaked and, with a good agency like ours, you can even combine tours.
Tour A: “The lagoon tour”
This is the tour of the lagoons. It gives you a solid idea of what El Nido is about: lagoons hemmed in by huge limestone walls and stunning beaches. These are the usual stops:
- Big Lagoon El Nido
- Payong Payong Beach
- Secret Lagoon
- Shimizu Island
- 7 Commandos Beach
Typical price for Tour A by agency: 1,200 pesos + 200 pesos for Big Lagoon
Book Tour A on KLOOK for just 950 pesos
Secret Lagoon El Nido
Time to discover your first lagoon! Enter through a small opening that fits just one person and enjoy this tiny almost-hidden lagoon tucked between massive limestone walls. Although it’s gorgeous, it’s a pity that there’s often a long line and it can be a bit tedious.
If you don’t want to wait—or prefer to save it for a quieter moment—right next to Secret Lagoon are a couple of very picturesque beaches (especially the one in the first photo on the right) where you can soak up El Nido’s scenery.
For reference, Secret Lagoon is on Miniloc Island, which is also home to Big Lagoon (also visited on this tour) and Small Lagoon (usually included on Tour D).
Payong Payong Beach
Also on Miniloc Island, this small but beautiful beach is an intermediate stop between Secret Lagoon and Big Lagoon (or vice versa). It’s named after a very particular rock formation (the one in the photo above) which, to locals, looks like an umbrella. Since “payong” means that in Tagalog, that’s what they named it.
Although there’s a wider section of beach, if the tide allows, we recommend walking to the end and checking out the different rocks and perspectives the cove offers.
Big Lagoon El Nido
This is one of El Nido’s best-known spots and an absolute must on archipelago excursions. It’s a huge, crystal-clear lagoon flanked by towering razor-sharp limestone walls. It’s accessible via a (relatively) narrow, shallow channel that used to allow boats, but is now closed to traffic; you can only get in by swimming, walking (at low tide), or by kayak.
As of today, renting a kayak is mandatory. Not only because boats can’t enter, but because the swim is long. Plus, the lagoon is large and worth paddling around. You’ll enjoy a relaxing ride and fully absorb how spectacular Big Lagoon is—one of the most impressive places in El Nido. If you look at the map, on the left-hand side there’s a little inlet—don’t miss it! There’s a small channel between the rock walls that’s well worth exploring.
If you need help with the kayak, don’t worry—the guides are usually very willing. Ask without hesitation.
If you go with a good tour company in El Nido, you’ll typically start early and hit Big Lagoon first so you can enjoy it almost alone. The difference compared with when it’s packed with people is huge…
*Sometimes, some companies let you swap Big Lagoon for Small Lagoon (usually included on Tour D). Both are spectacular and we couldn’t say which is prettier—though we might lean toward the big one. Remember the entrance to each is 200 pesos per person, and agencies must register your name in advance due to the quotas.
Shimizu Island
The next stop is Shimizu, an island named after a Japanese diver who died trying to explore one of its underwater caves. Despite the dramatic name, it’s a fantastic limestone massif dotted with small white-sand coves where tours often stop for lunch.
Look closely at the sand; it’s not unusual to see the tracks of monitor lizards’ tails, which roam freely when no one’s around. In fact, we saw 4 individuals from the boat the last time we did Tour A.
Seven Commandos
This gorgeous, coconut-lined beach is the perfect finale to a day of island hopping in El Nido. Fine white sand, turquoise water, good snorkeling, and—yes—a bar! Most boats stop for about 45 minutes to an hour so you can enjoy Seven Commandos, and some wait for sunset, as it’s an ideal spot to end the day. If they take you first thing, don’t be surprised; some agencies choose to stop here early to find it less crowded.
As you might guess, it’s quite popular. If you’ve fallen in love with it, you can also visit on your own by kayak. It takes 20–30 minutes from Corong Corong beach. You can read more about the kayak route we suggest in What to do in El Nido.
Tour B: “The cave tour”
This El Nido tour is known for its caves, the sandbar, and the now increasingly popular and Instagrammable Entalula Island. It’s possibly the most photogenic of them all and also one of the most relaxed. Unlike Tour A, where you’re more rushed, on Tour B you’ve got more time to chill. These are the stops:
- Entalula Island
- Snake Island
- Popolkan Rock
- Snake Island
- Cudugnon or Cathedral Cave
- A snorkeling spot
Typical price for Tour B: 1,300 pesos
Book your Tour B here for just 1,300 pesos

Entalula Island
This island hopping kicks off strong: the SPECTACULAR Entalula Beach which, for us, is one of the best beaches on El Nido island hopping tours (and, dare we say, among the best beaches in the Philippines). It’s incredibly photogenic thanks to the rock formation on its right-hand side, and if you do as we do and head out early, you can have it completely to yourself—making the tour worth it on its own.
Although the little cove further north is the truly picturesque one (the one in the center and right photos), in the south there’s also a beautiful long beach you shouldn’t skip (left photo).
Popolkan Island
Due to the privatization of Pangulasian Island, the first stop on this El Nido tour is Popolkan. It’s a pretty limestone island, but the best part is underwater. So it’s mainly a snorkeling stop to discover Palawan’s marine life.
Snake Island (Vigan Island)
This huge sandbar connects two islands and can be admired from a small viewpoint. Most agencies try to take you when the tide is low so you can see it at its best.
If you have a drone, a shot from the middle of the sandbar with El Nido’s mountains in the background will look like French Polynesia.
Cudugnon Cave
The first cave usually visited on this tour has archaeological significance, as it once contained pottery and other objects from China’s Song dynasty (960–1279), and it was also where some Palaweños hid when the Japanese invaded during World War II. Boats stop on the beach and you enter through a small hole. It’s also a good place to snorkel.
Cathedral Cove
You can enter by kayak or by swimming into this impressive cave on Pinasil Island. Enjoy the stalagmites and stalactites and, if you’ve brought your snorkel, don’t forget to look underwater, where you can admire the island’s rock formations.
Pinagbuyutan Island (Ellis Island)
Unfortunately, a few years ago someone bought this island and access is no longer allowed. We leave it here anyway so you remember to admire it from the boat—and because photos and videos of it keep circulating online almost daily thanks to the spectacular shape and height of its rocks.
Every time we do El Nido island hopping we dream about spending the night in the little hut with the metal roof that, by the way, hasn’t been changed in decades.
Bonus Track
The last time we did Tour B privately, we were lucky that, after Cathedral Cove, they took us to a small sandbar in front of Lagen Island. On Google Maps you’ll find it as LZ Sandbar. As you can see, we had it completely to ourselves and the perspective you get from the previous viewpoint is magical.
Tour C: “The secrets tour”
El Nido’s Tour C—or “secrets tour”—is one of the most spectacular because it combines beautiful scenery, good snorkeling, and, above all, beaches and lagoons with “different” access.
- Helicopter Island
- Hidden Beach
- Secret Beach
- Talisay Beach
- Star Beach
Typical price for Tour C: 1,400 pesos
You can book Tour C for just 1,200 pesos here
Have a look at this island hopping on Civitatis
Helicopter Island (Dilumacad Island)
El Nido’s Tour C starts at one of the archipelago’s icons, Dilumacad Island—better known as Helicopter Island for its supposed helicopter shape in the distance. Although to us it looks more like a dinosaur, the island is truly beautiful and, besides a wide fine-sand beach (where there are a couple of bungalows owned by the wealthy Ayala family), it’s famous for being a good snorkeling spot. The best area is on the left-hand side as you face the island.
Unfortunately, on our last visit we found that the coral is in poor condition and many people were even standing on it or touching it. Please, if you see anyone doing that, kindly tell them that’s not the way.
Hidden Beach
We continue with what is, in our opinion, the best stop on Tour C: Hidden Beach. Although it’s not so hidden anymore, it’s a crescent-shaped beach surrounded by dramatic rock walls. To get there, the boat drops you at the entrance and you have to swim or walk about 200 meters to reach the sand. If that’s difficult for you and your boat has a kayak, you can ask the boatman to take you.
On one of our recent El Nido island hopping tours, our guide showed us an even more hidden beach right next to Hidden Beach and we were blown away. It’s a mini–Hidden Beach with rock formations that look like sculptures.
Secret Beach
From the air it’s heart-shaped, and it will charm you from the inside too. To get in, you jump into the water and pass through a small crevice. If the tide is high, you’ll have to dip your head underwater for a few seconds, but at low tide it’s really easy. The reward is a tiny yet incredible beach. If your guide is as dedicated as ours, you’ll have it all to yourself!
Note that during periods of heavy swell this stop on El Nido’s Tour C can’t be done for safety reasons. If the sea is rough, you could end up banging against the rocks at the entrance, so, even if it’s disappointing, always listen to the guides—they know what they’re doing.
Talisay Beach or similar
There are plenty of little beaches in this part of El Nido for the lunch stop. They’re all similar: tucked between towering black rock walls with white sand. So just let your guide advise you and enjoy tasty Filipino food.
Of them all, we usually stop at Talisay Beach, a beautiful sheltered cove with high jagged limestone walls. There are almost always coconut and beer vendors who know we’re all dying for something refreshing in paradise. By the way, it’s named after the trees you’ll find there, the talisay, which is what Filipinos call Terminalia catappa.
Don’t forget to admire the scenery en route to this part of Tour C. It’s known as the Tapiutan Strait and we think it’s grand.
Snorkeling at Star Beach
El Nido island hopping also includes snorkeling stops, and one of the nicest on Tour C is at Star Beach. Unfortunately, you can’t access the beach because it’s private property, but—as you can see in the photo—you can stop at the surrounding reef and enjoy it for a while.
Tour D: “The beach tour”
This is the least common El Nido tour, which means it’s the one with the fewest people. It focuses on Cadlao Island—El Nido’s emblem—which gathers several picturesque beaches and a lagoon that will leave you open-mouthed. These are the usual spots:
- Small Lagoon El Nido
- Cadlao Lagoon
- Nat Nat Beach
- Paradise Beach
- Serenity Beach
Typical price for Tour D: 1,200 pesos + 200 pesos for Small Lagoon
See reviews and book your Tour D
Small Lagoon El Nido
If you’ve reserved your slot, you’ll be able to visit the Big Lagoon’s smaller neighbor. This small but spectacular lagoon also awaits with black rock walls and turquoise water. As with the other lagoon, you’ll need to rent a kayak to visit (300 pesos).
Cadlao Lagoon
This lagoon has little to envy of the ones we’ve mentioned on the other El Nido island hopping tours. It’s less intimate because you can see it clearly from the entrance, but you’ll love paddling a kayak or swimming inside (we warn you the swim can be tiring and, from experience, we don’t recommend entering that way). There’s also a small beach where you can relax for a while and enjoy the stunning place you’re in.
If you can include Cadlao Lagoon on any other tour (we once did it on Tour A and another time combined Tours B and D), you won’t regret it. It’s truly spectacular.
Paradise Beach / Natnat Beach / Serenity Beach
This one’s called El Nido’s “beach tour” for a reason. Along Cadlao Island’s coast there are several lovely little coves with lush rows of coconut palms and towering limestone walls behind them. As always, you can relax or do some snorkeling.
You’ll usually visit 2 or 3, but that depends on how much time you want to spend. If you ask us, our picks are Paradise Beach (the one in the photo) and Serenity Beach—they’re the most impressive.
So, which is the best tour in El Nido?
As you can see, each tour includes spectacular places and is worth doing, but we know not everyone (for reasons of time and money) can do them all. So, in our opinion—and in that of many travelers we’ve met over the years—the best tours in El Nido are A and C.
Both will give you a feel for El Nido’s gems: lagoons, secret beaches, towering karst walls, and interesting snorkeling. If you ask us to choose one, we couldn’t—both are amazing.
If you can splurge a little more, we strongly recommend a private tour. Chances are you won’t be back soon and you’ll want to make the most of it. The difference between seeing these places crammed with people versus by yourself is huge, and the service also leaves you more satisfied.
Can tours be combined? Yes and no. You can’t do all the stops from A and C in a single day, but you can make small tweaks to include the best of each. Prices go up a bit because there’s more navigation, and not all agencies do it.
