El Nido Private Speedboat Combo A + C (7 Islands)

The highlights of both tours in one long private day: Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island and Seven Commandos Beach from Tour A, then Hidden Beach, Secret Beach and Helicopter Island from Tour C, with Matinloc Shrine added when time and sea conditions permit.

Only in this combo format, and only on a private boat — the shared tours each fill a full day at a humane pace. The combo is the answer when you have one boat day and refuse to choose between the lagoons and the outer islands. The boat takes a maximum of 8 guests and is private to your group; the tour is operated in collaboration with Alexus Travel and Tours.

The price covers the private speed boat with licensed crew and fuel, lunch, drinking water, life vests and safety equipment, and hotel pickup within the pickup area. On the day you pay cash for the ₱400 El Nido Eco-Tourism Development Fee and the ₱200 lagoon entrance fee per person, plus kayak hire at Big Lagoon and any gear rental.

Departures run at 8:00 and 8:30 AM with pickup at hotels inside the pickup area — El Nido town, the boat dock and Corong-Corong. 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. The Tour C half is the part at risk: it has the longest open-water runs and is the first suspended when the swell picks up, in which case the crew rebuilds the day around the sheltered stops.

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. It is a long day on the water — a windbreaker and extra water are worth the space.

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. With eight guests at most and no other group aboard, the crew can trim a stop or skip a swim-through without costing anyone else their day.

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. Changes are subject to availability and price adjustments. Message us early if plans shift and we will help rebook.
