Private Tour C gives you full control over El Nido’s hidden gems – spend longer at your favorite beaches or skip spots you don’t love. The boat is yours alone, offering intimacy, personalized attention from the crew, and comfort without catering to strangers. Set your own pace, relax or move quickly, and enjoy a delicious lunch onboard. The perfect way to experience El Nido’s turquoise waters, lagoons, and secret beaches exactly as you want.
The jagged limestone cathedrals of the Bacuit Archipelago and the crystalline depths of Secret Beach serve as the stage for this 7 to 8-hour high-impact private marine expedition.
Provided as an exclusive alternative to the crowded shared circuits, this journey transitions from the bustling El Nido Town to the most secluded lagoons in the Philippines.
You move from the educational discovery of 11th-century spiritual shrines to an active immersion in turquoise waters, experiencing an environment where personalized crew attention and a private beach buffet define the day's energy.
Because this is a Badge of Excellence private activity, you should secure your Private Tour C early to ensure a 2026 seat on your own outrigger for a tailored Palawan adventure.
Expect a "spectacular," well-paced, and deeply intimate immersion into Palawan’s most famous island circuit. The transition from the boat to the hidden beaches is managed by a crew noted for providing "personalized attention," ensuring you spend more time at the spots you love and less at the ones that don't interest you. The environment is one of monumental geology, where the ability to set your own pace and skip the crowds provides a necessary refresh from the standard tourist experience. Note that while the boat is private, a moderate fitness level is a necessity for the limestone climb at Matinloc Shrine.
Don't skip the Matinloc limestone viewpoint; the vertical standard of this 2026 climb is rewarded with the most iconic panoramic shot of the archipelago.
Use your private status to reverse the itinerary; our agency finds that travelers who visit the popular Secret Beach earlier or later than the shared groups enjoy a much higher vertical standard of quiet and reflection.
Rent a kayak (₱500) for the day; it is a necessity for exploring the shallow edges of Talisay Beach and navigating the narrow entries of the hidden lagoons where the outrigger cannot dock.
If you are staying at an island resort like Matinloc or Cauayan, coordinate your 2026 pickup early; these locations require a ₱2000 extra charge and specific timing to match the day's tide.
The water clarity and lagoon accessibility change throughout the 2026 season.
At the entrance of Hama Coffee in El Nido Town or your hotel lobby (within 2km of town center).

Yes, the Eco Tax (P400) and all entry fees for Matinloc are included in your 2026 package.
Aquatic shoes and swimwear are necessities for navigating the rocky entries to Hidden and Secret Beach.
