Private Tour
El Nido Palawan Private Tour C, with Lunch
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
With a private tour, you have the flexibility to customize the itinerary. You can spend more time on the beaches or spots you love and skip or shorten the time spent on the places that don't interest you as much.
Instead of sharing a boat with other tourists, you and your group will have the entire boat to yourselves. This can make for a more intimate and personal experience.
Without the need to cater to a larger group's diverse interests and preferences, you can set your own pace. Whether you want to relax longer at a particular spot or move quickly from one location to another, the choice is yours.
With a private tour, the crew and guide can provide more personalized attention to your group. This can enhance the quality of your trip, from getting insights about the locations to assistance with specific needs.
Private boats might offer better amenities or seating arrangements, making the journey between islands more comfortable.

What To Expect
Hidden Beach
Hidden Beach is a secluded spot in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. It's known for its stunning beauty, turquoise waters, and dramatic limestone formations. This paradise is one of the many reasons why El Nido is considered one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Here's a brief overview of Hidden Beach: From Helicopter Islands: Approximately 20 Minutes
Helicopter Island, officially named Dilumacad Island, is another popular destination in the Bacuit Archipelago of El Nido, Palawan, Philippines.

5.00Had a great day with our guide and crew-Jeffry, Jamal, Lester and Captain Jason. Jeffry was very attentive and super helpful. The lunch on the beach was awesome! Would recommend this crew to anyone.😁😁😁😁😁
El Nido island hopping experience

3.00The crew is very good but the food is not. We were expecting to have a picnic like lunch by the beach but what we had was a COLD flattened packed lunch and a SPOILED watermelon for dessert. The crew told us that we’ll have zero sugar soda (my husband and I are diabetics) per my request on our first day (tour A) but we had the same original one like the first day (We did both A and C with the same tour provider). If only we knew beforehand that drinks won’t be cold, we could’ve bought an icebox and bring ice ourselves What’s very sad and disappointing is the snorkeling experience. We did it twice (in tour A and C), there are no more live corals and the fishes are not as much. What happened to our nature? We were there just 10 years ago and it was fantastic - the ocean is full of live corals and different colors of fishes. The whole experience is so DISAPPOINTING .
Wonderful island adventure experience

5.00Experience was wonderful, expert crew and brilliant tour guide in Jonard, would highly recommend him and the tour. He was especially great with the kids, made sure they had a blast.
Private Tour C . Worth the extra $$$ to experience hands on, exceptional service from the crew.

5.00From a friendly welcome at our Hotel, Jonard was exceptional. Short walk to the boat to meet the other crew, RJ and Philip. Itenary explained clearly, with the safety precautions . Having lucked in with a great day weather wise, we set off to multiple special spots amongst the glorious panoramic islands. Jonard helped my wife Olivia get comfortable with her 1st attempt at snorkelling, she loved it. Think he could excel as a professional photographer with the time spent taking dozens of photos of Olivia and I. The human drone videos, the classic. After a great lunch we set off to a superb spot, where the mountain water filtered into a stunning lagoon making a refreshing, clearer contrast to the warmer waters. Jonard also organised a canoe for Olivia and myself to explore this spot. So grateful Jonard. A return to El Nido was welcomed with a sudden downpour, which made the day complete. Many thanks to the 3x gents who made OUR DAY. We can certainly vouch for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience. Thanks Olivia and David.
Fun, laughter and memories in the rain

4.00Such a fun experience, it thundered most of the day and if anything that added to our fun as we all laughed so much! Having already spent the day with the crew the day before I felt like we were old friends by this point. The captain was so steady with the boat and shows his skill as I have been on bigger boats in rough seas that haven’t handled so well, he was always adjusting and steering and watching. The storm kicked up a lot of plankton so they kept me safe at me beach by asking me to wait until it cleared so I didn’t get stung. Swimming in the sea with lightening and laughing as the rain battered will remain core memories for me and so much fun! Manuel as guide was very attentive and most kind considering that for him it was very cold (me being English still finding it positively tropical). I’m only removing one star as unfortunately I was violently sick for the rest of the day. I only ate bread in the morning and food from the boat so sadly I lean towards that as the pharmacy told me food poisoning, however as I ate food the day with no issue I think maybe bad luck something just on this day, maybe not with preparation but storm humidity or rain water - I’m still inclined to think it was a one off but for fellow travellers I’d just advise on stormy or very humid days maybe take additional water and steer more towards eating fruits. 24 hours later and I’m nearly ok again so no problem. As you can see I’m still giving 4 stars and I would still use this team again, honestly I had the best day!

5.00My boyfriend and I did private Tour C and it was incredible!! Our guides Joe, Allwin, and Phillip were INCREDIBLE! They really took the time to make our itinerary perfect & personal for us. The guides did it all - prepared a delicious lunch, jumped into the water to show us ALL of the secret, incredible spots we would’ve missed on a group tour, and were our personal photographers! They were so open and down to do whatever we wanted at whatever pace. They came with great joy, kindness, energy, confidence, and education. I felt safe, and had the best time exploring!!! Thanks team!!! 🤩💃🏼😎☀️

5.00This private tour C was a truly wonderful experience. The snorkeling was fantastic, and the water was incredibly clear. We saw so many interesting creatures, including urchins, starfish, and a spider shell. It was amazing to see them up close in their natural habitat. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable snorkeling adventure.

5.00My wife and I booked private tours A and C for consecutive days. It was the best decision we have made in a while. The tour was absolutely incredible. All the spots were beautiful. Really a dream come true. Dado, Alwin, and Jonard were the best hosts along with Rino who was boat captain. The service really was a 10/10 experience! We’ll definitely use them again when we come back to El Nido.
Amazing experience

5.00If you are a first time visitor in Palawan, you must visit El Nido! Not only they offer variety of island hopping they also have great variety of seafood fest!! I loved all the island that we’ve visited. The waters are very pristine. I enjoyed snorkeling.

5.00The views were amazing! But even more important, our guide and crew were absolutely the BEST! Entertained the kids, took great care assisting the elderly in our group, and made sure we were safe, having fun, and taken care of. Jonard and Mark are amazing, and Lagum Adventures is a great company as well. I recommend them 1,000,000%!!! I even booked a second tour with them ahead of time and requested to have Jonar, Mark, and Rino again, and it was quadruple times as amazing and fun!!!
