Available Departure Times

8:30 AM
Snorkel with wild green sea turtles at Turtle Point, then Twin Reef, Starfish Island, Inaladelan and Exotic Island on Port Barton's quiet shared boat day.

Port Barton's Tour A is a shared outrigger day on the reefs and small islands off the village. You meet the crew at the beachfront between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, or are collected from your hotel in town, and the boat works through five stops: Turtle Point for snorkelling with wild green sea turtles, Twin Reef, Inaladelan Island (also called German Island) for a grilled seafood lunch on the beach, Starfish Island, and finally Exotic Island. The boat is back at the beachfront around 4:00 PM. A snorkelling mask, a life vest and the island entrance fees are in the fare.

There is no private version of this tour on the site, so its natural comparison is the El Nido island-hopping tours instead. El Nido's boat days are about lagoons and limestone cliffs and draw the crowds to match. Port Barton's Tour A is quieter and simpler: the point is the reef and the turtles, none of the stops needs a swim-through or a scramble, and the crews are used to children and nervous swimmers as long as you say so at booking. It is the better pick for a slow day in the water rather than a photo circuit.

Turtle sightings are most consistent from December to May and never guaranteed, and the crew may swap island stops for the weather and sea conditions on the day. Bring sunscreen, a towel and water shoes, and carry small bills for the Port Barton eco-tourism fee, which is collected in cash on the day. Since a mask is included, aqua shoes are the only gear worth renting.
