3D2N Small Group El Nido to Coron Expedition

3D2N Island Adventure Through Palawan's Hidden Gems — Maximum 17 Guests

Small Group Cruise between El Nido and Coron

Discover our 3-day, 2-night El Nido to Coron cruise, a small-group island expedition through the untouched islands of Palawan. Aboard a spacious traditional Filipino bangka, you sail between El Nido and Coron via the islands of Linapacan, with stops for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring secluded beaches. The expedition is also available in the Coron–El Nido direction.

Unlike a standard boat transfer or a typical island-hopping tour, this expedition between El Nido and Coron gives you time to discover the islands between these two destinations and spend two nights in the heart of the archipelago, as part of a small group limited to 17 guests.

But the small group is not the only advantage: you also enjoy much more space on board. Our boat is spacious enough for everyone to sit comfortably, relax, and fully enjoy the journey without feeling crowded. This combination of a small group and a spacious boat creates a more comfortable and relaxed experience throughout the expedition.

The expedition operates in both directions, from El Nido to Coron or from Coron to El Nido, with a maximum of 17 guests per departure. Meals, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks are included, as well as accommodation in our island camps. To explore the itinerary, different stops, and what to expect between Coron and El Nido in more detail, read our complete guide to the El Nido–Coron cruise.

The result is a more comfortable, personal, and memorable expedition from beginning to end.
