About this experience
Island Tour B is a great choice for those seeking a tour at calmer pace, with smaller crowds and a diverse, family friendly experience. There is plenty of time to lounge on the beach, explore, swim and snorkel. Dramatic landscapes at each stop. Perfect for photographers, as every stop offers social media worthy moments.
We provide personalized service, experienced tour guides, and intimate group sizes for a more authentic and memorable experience. Unlike typical beach destinations, we allow travelers to explore multiple untouched islands in a single day, often accessible only by Filipino outrigger boats (bangkas).
What sets El Nido apart is not just its scenery, but the intimate, off-the grid experience it offers. With limited crowds, eco-conscious operators, and a strong connection to local culture and nature, each tour feels like a personal discovery an adventure into paradise that blends serenity, wonder, and authenticity.
