Tour D uncovers El Nido’s hidden paradises: explore secret beaches, serene shrines among limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear waters rich with marine life. Swim, snorkel, or relax on pristine sands. Buffet beach lunch included – an intimate escape into untouched nature and wild beauty.
The emerald silence of Cadlao Lagoon and the secret shoreline of Small Lagoon serve as the stage for this 7 to 8-hour high-impact island expedition.
Often considered the "hidden gem" of the Bacuit Bay circuits, this journey transitions from the bustling streets of El Nido Town to the serene, less-traveled western face of Cadlao Island.
You move from the educational discovery of unique limestone formations to an active immersion in crystal-clear waterways, experiencing an environment where tranquil coves and a traditional beach lunch define the day's energy.
Because this is a highly exclusive-feeling activity often preferred by those seeking to escape the main tourist crowds, you should secure your Tour D slot early to ensure a 2026 seat on the outrigger for your intimate rendezvous with nature.
Expect a "captivating," well-paced, and deeply restorative immersion into the wilder side of Palawan. The transition from the boat to the lagoons is managed by a team noted for their "local guidance and safety," ensuring that even the narrowest waterways are navigated with ease. The environment is one of monumental geology, where the ability to explore tucked-away shrines and beaches provides a necessary refresh from the faster pace of the town. Note that a moderate level of mobility is a necessity for entering and exiting the kayaks used to reach the lagoon interiors.
Our agency finds that travelers who prioritize the Cadlao Lagoon leg of the trip often enjoy a much higher vertical standard of tranquility than those visiting the more famous lagoons on Tour A.
Renting a kayak (₱400) is a survival necessity for Tour D; the entrance to the Small Lagoon is often too shallow for the outrigger, and paddling in is the only way to see the "secret" interior.
Bring a high-quality quick-dry towel; the transition between the warm 2026 sun on the beach and the shaded, cooler waters of the lagoons is a necessity for staying comfortable throughout the 8-hour trip.
