Travel between El Nido and Coron aboard a traditional Filipino bangka with local guides, chefs, and a small-group expedition crew. Expect remote beaches, reef snorkeling, cliff jumping, kayaking, village visits, Filipino meals, karaoke, and two nights in simple beach huts. The route runs in both directions, with guides such as JJ, Madu, Rico, Raymond, and Macky assigned to different departures.

“Me and my friend loved our time with Team Whaleshark! The good was great as well as the activities such as snorkling, karaoke and volleyboll (even though we lost against our guides every time😆). This is very primitive living with simple toilets with no sinks, but we liked it in our little huts and the islands were super beautiful!🩷 Thanks for a lovely time!”
