El Nido Private Speedboat Tour D

Cadlao Lagoon, Paradise Beach, Pasandigan Beach for lunch, Nat-Nat Beach and Bukal Beach or Ipil Beach, all around Cadlao Island opposite town. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off. Meet at El Nido Boat Dock near Petron Gas Station for the 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 AM departure; the boat returns to the same dock around 3:00 PM. Stops and their order can change without notice with tide, crowding and Coast Guard advisories.

The crossings shrink: the hops between stops take 20 to 30 minutes, against 60 to 90 by outrigger. On the route closest to town that leaves most of the day for the beaches, and the boat is back at the dock around 3:00 PM. The boat is private to your group. Up to 12 guests can be booked online, and groups of 13 to 16 are possible on request: contact us for a quote.

The price covers the private speedboat, licensed tour guide, boat crew, picnic lunch, water and soft drinks, use of mask and snorkel, life vests and the El Nido environmental fee (₱400 per person). There is nothing to pay at the dock and no lagoon entrance fee on this route. The only costs on the day are optional: aqua shoes or fins (₱100 to ₱150 per pair), towels and personal expenses.

Three add-ons can be chosen when booking, each priced per group: drone photo and video (₱5,250), the Sea Pool, a floating pool set up beside the boat and subject to availability (₱5,250), or the Sea Pool and drone together (₱7,880). For travel from 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027, groups of 6 or more pay a peak-season charge of ₱2,630 per group. It is added automatically and shown before checkout.

The El Nido environmental fee is valid for 10 days, so it only needs to be paid once in that period. If you book another El Nido tour with us in the same cart, within 10 days of this one, ₱400 per person is taken off the later tour.

If the Coast Guard suspends boat trips on your date, you choose a new date or a full refund. A speedboat does not exempt the day from Coast Guard advisories. Tour D stays closest to town in the calmest water, so it is the route to pick for a windy day.

Yes, as long as you say so at booking. Life vests are provided, and the guide and crew are used to nervous swimmers: tell them and they keep an eye out. Tour D is the best of the four routes for children: it is the closest to town and has the calmest water.

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.

This service has an estimated duration of 6 hours to complete.
