Private El Nido Tour D – Cadlao Lagoon Private Boat Tour

The beaches around Cadlao Island, the big green mass opposite town: Cadlao Lagoon, Pasandigan and Ipil, plus the nearby coves. Stop lineups rotate with local regulations and daily conditions.

Because a private boat turns a short day into an unhurried one. With no fixed departure and no other guests, the crew can stay at whichever cove your group likes, cut a stop nobody is enjoying, and get small children back to town early if the day has done its work.

The price covers the private outrigger boat and crew for your group across Cadlao Lagoon, Pasandigan, Ipil and the nearby coves, the lunch grilled on the sand at Ipil, life vests and hotel pickup within the pickup area. On the day you pay cash for the ₱400 El Nido Eco-Tourism Development Fee per person and any snorkel gear or aqua shoes you rent.

Pickup runs from 8:30 to 9:00 AM at hotels inside the pickup area — El Nido town, the boat dock and the Corong-Corong hotels — and the boat is back at El Nido Beach Boat Dock around 5:00 PM. Hotel drop-off is not included; a tricycle covers the last stretch cheaply.

Coast Guard cancellations are a normal part of an El Nido season, and a refund or a rebooking to another day is standard practice when the day is called off. Tour D is the most weather-resistant of the four letters, because it never leaves the shelter of Cadlao. It is often the day still running when Tour C has been called off.

Reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, a dry bag, water shoes (the karst is sharp) and small bills for the fees collected at the stops. A phone in a waterproof pouch replaces most of the camera kit people haul. The crew handles lunch, so you need less than you think.

Yes, as long as you say so at booking. Life vests are standard and required at most stops, and the crews are practiced with nervous swimmers — tell them and they keep an eye out. Tour D is the gentlest of the four letters for children and nervous swimmers: calm water, short hops and beaches you can walk out from.

Full payment is taken at booking. Cancellations made up to 7 days before the tour date are refunded in full; inside 7 days a 50% cancellation fee applies, and no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded. If you cancel a booking paid by card or PayPal, the 5% payment processing fee is not refunded. Cancellations by the operator or due to weather are refunded in full. Changes are subject to availability and price adjustments — message us early if plans shift and we will help rebook.
