About this tour

Tour B is the relaxed one. The pace is gentler, the water is often calmer, and the route trades big crowds for quiet sandbars, sea caves and easy snorkeling. It is a favorite for travelers who want variety without the rush, and a great pick for anyone doing a second day on the water after Tour A.

Over the day you'll visit Snake Island, Cudugnon Cave, Cathedral Cave, Pinagbuyutan Island and Papaya Beach, with time to swim, snorkel, and relax on the sand between stops.

Itinerary

  1. 9:00 AM

    Snake Island

    A long, S-shaped sandbar that appears between islands at low tide. Walk along it, or hike up for a sweeping view of the bay.

  2. 10:15 AM

    Cudugnon Cave

    Enter through a small opening into a cave once used as shelter in centuries past. A short, atmospheric stop with real history.

  3. 11:30 AM

    Cathedral Cave

    A towering sea cave admired from the boat, named for its soaring, cathedral-like walls.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tour B less crowded than Tour A?

Usually yes. It is a calmer route and a good pick if you want a more relaxed day, or are visiting in peak season when the lagoons get busy.

Can I bring kids on Tour B?

Absolutely. Child-size life jackets are provided and Tour B's calmer pace works especially well for families. Traveling with kids? Ask your operator about child rates on WhatsApp.

Can I combine Tour B with another route?

Our private full-day combos are A+C and C+D. Tour B pairs beautifully with either as a second, more relaxed day on the water.

12:45 PM

Pinagbuyutan Island

A dramatic single karst peak rising straight out of a white-sand beach. One of the most striking silhouettes in El Nido.

  • 2:15 PM

    Papaya Beach

    A hidden white-sand beach on Pinagbuyutan and a fan-favorite lunch spot, perfect for swimming away from the busier beaches.

    Walking the Snake Island sandbar at low tide was surreal, and Cathedral Cave from the water is enormous. Captain Mark explained the history of Cudugnon Cave in perfect English. Small group, relaxed pace, fair price booked online. Highly recommended for couples.

    Caves you will not forget

    Cathedral Cave by boat is genuinely jaw-dropping, and Pinagbuyutan Island looks like something out of Jurassic Park. Captain Jun read the tide perfectly so we got into every cave. The boat lunch was a proper spread, not just sandwiches. Booked on GoBoat the night before, instant confirmation.

    Toller Tag, viel gesehen

    Tour B mit Bacuit Bay Boat Co: die Sandbank von Snake Island und die Cudugnon Cave waren die Highlights. Am Papaya Beach war es mittags etwas voll, daher ein Stern Abzug, aber Captain Jun und seine Crew waren durchweg freundlich und professionell. Gerne wieder.

    Tres belle journee

    Tour B en petit groupe avec Captain Mark. Pinagbuyutan est spectaculaire et le dejeuner a Papaya Beach etait simple mais frais et copieux. Petit bemol pour l'attente a la premiere grotte, sinon organisation impeccable et ambiance conviviale. Je recommande.
