El Nido Tour A: Early Bird Island Hopping - Premium Beach Picnic & Hidden Spots (Hotel Pickup)

Set off early
and enjoy the Tour A highlights at a relaxed pace

After pickup from your accommodation, cruise the Tour A route in Bacuit Bay on a shared motorboat. Because the schedule starts early before the crowds arrive, you can take your time at each spot. An English-speaking guide and boat crew accompany you, and life jackets and other safety equipment are provided.

Start with Seven Commando Beach and Secret Lagoon

The first stop is Seven Commando Beach. Next, head to Secret Lagoon, known for the long queues at its narrow entrance. Arrive early to avoid the line and explore the lagoon and take photos before it gets crowded at noon.

Snorkel at Shimizu Island, then enjoy a beach picnic

At Shimizu Island, go snorkeling with your guide and learn about marine life. Then move to Payong-Payong Beach or Star Beach for an island lunch buffet on a beach set with low tables, woven mats and cushions.

End the tour at a peaceful Big Lagoon in the afternoon

Finally, head to Big Lagoon, the highlight of the tour. In the afternoon, after the morning crowds have left, it is much quieter and you can kayak on the calm emerald water. Kayak rental is not included.

※ The beach picnic takes place at either Payong-Payong Beach or Star Beach depending on the day's conditions.
※ The environmental fee and lagoon entrance fee are not included.
