Description

We will visit El Nido's best hidden beaches and islands. The Secret beach, a piece of paradise concealed by the cliffs is only accessible through a narrow crevice. You will have to swim through this opening to reach this heavenly place which is shining even under the shade created by the sun kissed cliffs. The other one, Hidden beach is surrounded by limestone rocks formations and a natural pool filled with crystal clear waters. It cannot seen from the open sea. You'll have to walk and swim for a couple of minutes to gets to it. There are black and brown seaweed which makes it's a safe havens for the endangered fish. Our next stop, Matinloc island is shaped like a heart from aerial view. Within a simple climb to leveled out limestones, you'll find a 360 degree views of the surroundings. Helicopter island and Talisay beach are a couple of awesome snorkeling areas for decent amount of marine life creatures. End of the day, we will drop you back to the El Nido floating dock.

Magnified tour.

That tour is magnified. All very nice but leave no time for anything. It's also not as seen in the videos. The Kayak I didn't even see. He was all kinds of tourist, come on, come on... now to the boat, come on, come on, now to eat... One thing I was clear about when I went to port barton was that I had to do that tour. But he let me down.

Stunning hidden beaches & crystal-clear snorkeling – El Nido’s best tour

El Nido’s Tour C was the highlight of my Palawan trip. The hidden beaches, crystal-clear lagoons and snorkeling spots were incredible, and the views from the boat were unreal. The crew was friendly, helpful and made the day feel safe and fun. Great mix of adventure and relaxation perfect for couples, friends or solo travelers. Highly recommend this tour if you want the most scenic side of El Nido!

Terrible experience - please don’t do this tour

I am not one to leave bad reviews but this trip was genuinely awful! Very mixed messages about when and where to meet - ended up meeting two hours before the tour actually started. Stopped in dangerous places where many of us got cut on the rocks trying to scramble to the shore in a strong current. Lunch was terrible. No real information was given at any point. I much preferred viewing the islands from the safety of the beaches in El Nido!

Must see

Blue waters, fantastic beaches and friendly people. Our tour guides were funny and friendly. We had a great time with our group. People from all over the world. We plan to book another tour.

Use a different company

The tour itself was OK but it looks like different companies send people to the same tour boat and this was not a good company. First, the "hotel pick up" was someone coming and walking us down the beach to wait outside a cafe hut in the heat for over half an hour. After that she walked us down the beach in the other direction to get the boat. Got us snorkeling gear and at the first stop on the tour we discovered both breathing tubes were broken. Requested a vegetarian lunch and specified "no fish or chicken." Got shrimp, chicken, and spring rolls with pork and chicken, so all I had to eat was plain rice and 2 forkfuls of noodles (the crew on the boat didn't seem to care either and just blamed it on the tour company that booked it. No attempt to help find food I could eat at all). No one to talk to about the issues when we got back. Had to figure out on our own how to return the equipment. Tour C is nice, just use a different company to book. This one was truly terrible.

The best tour guide in the Philippines

The most amazing tour guide in the Philippines, he took loads of photos and made us laugh the whole time! Our own private lunch was next level, it felt like we were in the Maldives or Seychelles! DO NOT MISS OUT - BOOK WITH THESE GUYS! You won’t regret it!
