Our serviced camping expeditions to the Palawan islands kick off from our office in El Nido. We take a van for an hour and 15 minutes to reach the port in Dipnay. From there we get on a boat and start visiting Palawan’s idyllic islands. A comfortable pace is 3 to 4 islands daily. They are called Takling, Magransing, Kala-Kala, and a lot of other secret places we would love for you to discover. From El Nido, you either go onwards to Coron, or back to El Nido.

Here are just some of the things you can do:

  • Swim
  • Snorkel
  • Free-dive
  • Kayak
  • Go fishing
  • Stargaze
  • Play volleyball and other beach games
  • Play board games
  • Chill!

We provide a mask, a tuba, and life jackets. Just bring your fins if you need them.

Most nights of your serviced camping expedition to the Palawan island, you will sleep in our beautiful campsite on Ginto island in Linapacan. We set up transparent sleep pods on the beach so that you can enjoy the stars as you fall asleep to the sound of waves on the shore. If you want more privacy, we have one room of local architecture that you can get for an additional fee of P2,000 per night.

Fresh is best! Our menu changes with what we find in the market, but the crew chef will often prepare Asian-Mediterranean dishes. Your package includes three meals a day, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks.

We accommodate food preferences on our expeditions. Let us know in advance, and we will make you meals that you will love.

Definitely. Children as young as one have travelled on our serviced camping expeditions to the Palawan islands.

Then we recommend our speedboat tour. It takes you to see islands and beaches around El Nido. See our Pricing page for details.
