GoBoatFirst-timers, kayaking, the iconic El Nido shot
4.3· 3 reviewsFrom₱1,500per person
Tour D is the peaceful route. It stays closer to El Nido town around Cadlao, the largest island in the bay, and strings together quiet beaches and reef snorkeling spots that the busier tours skip. If you want beautiful scenery without the crowds, this is your day.
Over the day you'll visit Cadlao Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Pasandigan Beach, Paradise Beach and Natnat Beach, with time to swim, snorkel and relax on the sand between stops.
A serene lagoon tucked into the largest island in Bacuit Bay, with calm emerald water and soaring cliffs. Far quieter than the Tour A lagoons.
Kayak or swim through a narrow opening into an enclosed lagoon hidden inside the rock. Serene, intimate and unforgettable.
A sheltered cove with calm water, ideal for easy snorkeling, freediving or some shaded beach time.

Yes. It is the least crowded of the four standard routes and the best choice if peace, reef snorkeling and fewer boats matter to you.
Yes. Natnat Beach in particular offers easy reef snorkeling straight off the shore, and the calmer water makes it relaxed for all swim levels.
Yes. C+D is a popular full-day private combination that pairs dramatic outer-island scenery with Tour D's quieter pace.
A long stretch of soft white sand with shallow, swimmable water - perfect for a relaxed swim and a long lunch.
A quiet beach with easy reef snorkeling right off the shore. Great for spotting fish without venturing far.
Our captain told us stories about growing up on these islands the whole ride, which made it so much more than a boat tour. Booking online with GoBoat was seamless, way easier than the hotel tour desk, and the price was the same as the pier. Genuine local family operation.
Great day, rocky start
The tour itself was lovely and the crew were kind, but our original boat had an engine issue and we started more than an hour late on a replacement. The team handled it professionally and knocked themselves out to make up the time, which I appreciated. Just book with some buffer in your plans.
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.

The tour price you see is final. These are the government and optional fees you settle on the day, in cash.
Collected by the El Nido tourism office, not by us. Valid 5 days across every tour, so a second island-hopping day this week costs you nothing extra.
Paid in cash to enter Big or Small Lagoon. Free for young children.
Only if you want to paddle inside the lagoon. Priced per kayak, not per person.
Rented on the day on shared bangka tours only. Included on every private boat and on the speedboat.
Per item, paid on the day. Towels are always included.
Everything else is in the price you see: boat, licensed crew, water and soft drinks, towels, life jackets and the beach lunch. You can prepay the government fees at checkout if you would rather not carry cash.
