Tired of arriving at beautiful beaches only to find them crowded with dozen of other boats? We’ve redesigned the standard tour to put your experience first. By following our signature counter-clockwise itinerary, we stay ahead of the "congested" traditional routes. We arrive at the hidden gems of Port Barton just as others are leaving, giving you a more intimate connection with Palawan’s pristine nature.

Why This Is the Best Island Hopping Port Barton Offers:

The Crowd-Avoidance Strategy: While every other boat follows the same sequence, we go the opposite way. This simple change allows our guests to enjoy quieter beaches and clearer snorkeling spots.

Space to Breathe: We use a large, traditional Bangka boat licensed for 30 people, but we strictly limit our trips to a maximum of 18 guests. You’ll have plenty of room to stretch out, relax, and enjoy the views without feeling like a number.

Truly All-Inclusive (No "Surprise" Fees): For 1500 PHP, we cover everything. Your eco-tax, all island entrance fees, and a premium freshly prepared lunch are included. Unlike other operators, we don't ask for extra cash at the pier.

Sustainable & Local: We take pride in our "Amazing Lunch," showcasing local flavors and fresh ingredients, while ensuring our tour supports the conservation of Port Barton’s marine protected areas.

Itinerary Highlights:

Snorkel in vibrant turtle sanctuaries.

Relax on secluded white-sand bars.

Enjoy a high-quality buffet lunch on a tropical beach.

Explore hidden reefs with our expert local guides.
