Open Tours

Explore as you wish. Just point to the direction of a marvel you wish to see, and we'll take you there. Our experienced captains will lend their local knowledge to your adventure and point out areas of interest that the silence of our boats can allow like gently moving through the seas above the sand flats to spot turtles, stingrays, sharks or even a dugong.
 
We have no fixed itineraries on our trips, they differ as the changing seasons and tides do.  This allows you to get the most of your time on the bay.

Explore the Iconic lagoons that put El nido on the world map in seclusion before or after the hoards of tourist boats arrive or depart. Early mornings with us bring the promise of wild life sightings and late afternoon cruises bring majestic sunsets peaking through the jagged peaks that make up Bacuit Bay’s magical appeal.
