1.Private Boat Hire with Guided Tour and Lunch on Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 658 reviews · 8 hours · from $142Pick of the list

Review of Coron’s private boat tour, with custom stops, snorkeling, island beaches, lunch, fees, timing, and practical booking advice.

“Amazing experience overall. I highly recommend the private tour as you can tailor the route and everything according to your preferences and how crowded each place is. Our tour guide Nori and the rest of the crew (John John and Tuto) were super kind, discreet and helpful. Nori even took us photos in most of the places. 10/10 overall and super grateful to everyone involved ☺️”

“It was great for us, it all started by meeting our guide and got informed about the trip, we then went on the boat which set sail for about 10min and we stopped for snorkelling/swimming, at this point our guide informed us that we have to pay 100php to get into a he water, some people weren’t happy about it but if you let 100php ruin your trip then this is not for you. After we visited a really nice island where you can join visiting for 300php or just chill/swim.Around midday we went on one side of boracay island for a nice meal and from there we went sailing…”

The tour was so well organised and with not many people on it compared to the day before. The tour guide was attentive and funny making excellent experience for everyone on board. I really recommend this tour if you are in El Nido truly somthing from a movie!”
