The 5-day El Nido to Coron/Busuanga Tour (or Coron/Busuanga to El Nido) is a private and exclusive sea safari. It is not a group expedition. The trip runs upon demand using a large two-level motorized outrigger banca or Admiral 38 sailing catamaran “Tribal Adventures”.

Participants have their own single or double sea kayaks, sit-ins unless otherwise requested. These are used by participants to wend their way between idyllic sand-ringed and palm-fringed islands and explore the myriad lagoons of the Calamian-El Nido archipelago. With the boat shadowing, you can do as much or as little kayaking as you wish, professionally supervised by your kayak guide. The program is flexible, allowing sleeping on board or camping on the beaches near the boat’s nightly anchorage.

If it’s camping, access to your private island hideaway is by your sea kayak off your expedition banca or by your guide on the catamaran’s dinghy. Camping is serviced with guide and camp manager setting up your comfy tent complete with camp pad & camp pillow, hotel linen and towel. Most campsites will have a basic toilet. Where there isn’t a loo, there’ll be erected a small tented bathroom with a portable toilet: Your shower is a solar bag shower under the stars. Should you opt for the catamaran, you’ll have a bathroom onboard with hot shower–and a deck hot shower too!

A camp cook will prepare your meal, served with your favorite beverage. What happens for the rest of the evening can be read in the stars.

This is one of Tribal Adventures’ signature million heavenly star-rated experiences!
