A four-day group expedition to the Balabac islands, starting with a long road leg. A shared van collects you from your Puerto Princesa hotel at 3:00 AM, stops for breakfast on the way and reaches Buliluyan Port for the 9:30 AM passenger boat. At Bancalaan Island you move to the tour boat, lunch on Patawan Island, call at Tangkahan Island and reach the beachfront campsite by mid-afternoon. Days 2 and 3 are island and sandbar hopping from 8:00 AM, back at camp around 4:00 PM. On Day 4 the boat leaves at 6:00 AM and you are at your hotel by 5:00 PM.
It runs on fixed departure dates and needs a minimum number of joiners, so it suits solo travellers, couples and small groups aged 10 to 50 who can plan around the calendar. The private versions run on any date with your own boat and van for groups of four to ten, as a shorter three-day trip or this same four-day length, which gives the boat time to reach Onok Island, Punta Sebaring, Mansalangan sandbar, Candaraman Island and the snorkelling reef.
Expect a remote place with basic comforts: a tent with a mattress at a shared campsite, generator power in the evening and solar after that, and meals from whatever the Brooke's Point market and local fishermen had that day. Which islands you see depends on wind, waves and tide, and the trip goes ahead in any weather the Coast Guard allows. Bring insect repellent, snacks for the van and cash for drinks. Arrive in Puerto Princesa the day before and do not fly out before the evening of Day 4.

Private Island Hopping
