Tour C is the route for scenery and snorkeling. It reaches the outer islands of Bacuit Bay, where the cliffs are tallest, the beaches are tucked behind rock walls, and the water is some of the clearest you will see. Photographers love it, and so does anyone who wants the most dramatic day on the water.
Over the day you'll visit Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, Star Beach, Talisay Beach and Helicopter Beach, with time to swim, snorkel and relax on the sand between stops.
Tucked behind towering rock formations, a quiet cove with calm, shallow water and dramatic surroundings.
A hidden beach enclosed by cliffs, reached by swimming through a small gap in the rock. The inspiration for many an El Nido daydream.
A relaxed snorkeling stop with healthy coral and plenty of fish, often a lunch spot on the white sand.

Most travelers say yes. The cliffs, Secret Beach and Hidden Beach are the most photogenic stops in El Nido, and the snorkeling around Helicopter Beach and Star Beach is excellent.
Yes. Star Beach, Talisay Beach and Helicopter Beach all offer healthy coral and lots of fish, and the water is clear and calm at most times of year.
Yes. A+C is the classic full-day private combination - the iconic lagoons in the morning and the dramatic outer islands in the afternoon.
A sheltered beach with a great snorkeling reef just offshore, calm and easy for all swim levels.
On Dilumacad, the island shaped like a helicopter: soft white sand and excellent snorkeling just offshore.
Snorkeling heaven
The reef just off Talisay Beach had the healthiest coral we saw in Palawan, and Helicopter Beach was straight off a postcard. The young crew have great energy and genuinely love showing people their bay. Gear was clean and the boat spotless. Five stars earned.
