Private experiences

A day for every occasion

Whatever you are celebrating, we build the day around it.

Honeymoons in El Nido

Start your marriage in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet. A private boat day is the centerpiece of any El Nido honeymoon: just the two of you, a hidden lagoon, a beach lunch on white sand, snorkeling over coral gardens, and a sunset that ends up framed on a wall back home. Tell us your dates and we will make the day exactly yours.

Best boat: private speedboat or luxury bangka for the smoothest, most romantic ride.

Marriage Proposals in El Nido

Planning to propose in El Nido? You came to the right place. We have set up secret hidden-beach proposals, sunset-deck reveals and full surprise island setups. Tell us the vision and we coordinate the boat, the timing and the discretion. You walk them into paradise, drop to one knee, and we capture it if you want us to.

Best boat: private speedboat for the surprise and the timing.

Anniversaries on the Water

Mark another year together where the postcards are made. A private day on the water in El Nido turns an anniversary into one of the memories you keep telling for years. Pick your favorite route, customize the lunch, request the playlist. We give you the boat. You bring the story.

Best boat: any private option, scaled to your group.

Bachelorette Parties in El Nido

The bride-to-be deserves the most beautiful day before the wedding day. A private boat in Bacuit Bay is the new bachelorette destination: drinks on ice, hidden beaches with no one else around, a private lagoon, lunch on the sand. We bring the boat and the crew. You bring the energy.

Best boat: luxury bangka for room to lounge, or standard bangka for the group budget.

Private tour questions

Can I customize the route?

Yes. Book the A+C or C+D combo on a speedboat and pick 6 to 8 islands across the two routes, or choose a half-day speedboat and pick exactly 3 islands from your tour's 5 stops. On any private full-day single tour, the crew can also adapt the order and timing of the 5 stops to your day.

How far in advance should I book a private tour?

You can book a same-day private tour if a boat is available. For specific dates in peak season (December to March), one to two weeks ahead is safer. For weddings and events, the earlier the better.

Can you arrange add-ons for special occasions?

We can adjust the route, the timing and the lunch menu to fit your occasion. Leave a note when you book or chat with us on WhatsApp and we will tailor the day.

Can children come on a private tour?

Of course. Child-size life jackets are provided, and private tours are especially good for families because the pace and stops adjust to the kids. Traveling with kids? Ask your operator about child rates on WhatsApp.

Can we have a wedding ceremony on a private island?

Symbolic ceremonies and vow renewals are popular here and we coordinate them regularly. Legal civil weddings in the Philippines require additional paperwork, which we can guide you through if needed.

Which boats can run the combo tours?

Combo tours (A+C and C+D) run on a private speedboat only, as a full day. Bangkas are too slow to cover both routes in one day, so combos are never offered on a standard or luxury bangka.

    Bachelor Parties in El Nido

    Last weekend before the wedding, spent on a private boat in Palawan. Smart. We give you the boat, you give your crew the day they will not stop talking about: snorkeling, lagoons, cold drinks, lunch on a quiet beach, sunset on the deck. No tourists, no fixed schedule, no curfew.

    Best boat: standard bangka for capacity and value, or speedboat for fewer and faster.

    Birthday Parties on a Private Island

    There is no birthday venue in the world like a quiet El Nido beach with no one on it. Private boat, private island, the people who matter, music and food on the sand. We handle the boat, the crew and the route to a beach we have to ourselves. You handle the cake.

    Best boat: standard or luxury bangka, depending on group size.

    A Private Date in El Nido

    A date that becomes the story you tell. An afternoon to escape the hotel and have Bacuit Bay to yourselves. A private speedboat turns any couple's day into a film scene: the crew is discreet, the route is yours, and the only people at the hidden beach for those hours are the two of you.

    Best boat: private speedboat for the romance and the speed.

    Weddings and Symbolic Ceremonies

    Yes, you can get married on a beach in El Nido. We organize the boat that takes the wedding party to a private island, set up the ceremony spot, and run the reception on the sand or back on board. Symbolic ceremonies, vow renewals and intimate elopements are beautiful here. Tell us the size of your party and the vibe, and we put together the right boat and setup.

    Best boat: luxury bangka for the most ceremonial deck, scaled to your guest count.

    Family Reunions and Group Days

    Twelve cousins, three generations, one day in paradise. A private boat is the only way to keep a group of any size together on the water in El Nido, on a schedule that fits everyone, with food and pace adapted to the family. Child life jackets are provided. Traveling with kids? Ask your operator about child rates on WhatsApp.

    Best boat: standard or luxury bangka, depending on size.

    Corporate Retreats and Team Days

    Treat your team to a day they will not stop posting about. Bacuit Bay, private boat, no laptops in sight. We handle logistics for groups up to 25 across multiple boats if needed. Branding, custom catering and agenda blocks between island stops, all on request.

    Best boat: luxury bangka or a multi-boat setup for larger teams.
