Private Tour D

Description

Note: This page is reserved for the booking of private tours. If you’re a group of 26 participants or more, simply send us an email so we can check availability of one of our larger boats on your preferred date.

Tour D will offer you a quiet discovery of some of the most beautiful beaches in El Nido. To get the full description details on this island hopping tour, you can read this page: El Nido Tour D.

This tour D package is offered only as private tour because there’s few people booked for this package. So it’s hard to find a joiners on this package.

Private Tour D Itinerary:

Your Private Tour D includes the following destinations:

• Cadlao Lagoon
• Paradise Beach
• Natnat Beach
• Pasandigan Beach
• Small Lagoon

Since it’s a private tour, you can skip any destination you want and even stop on another island, as long as it’s on the route of Tour D.

Two Options To Avoid The Crowds:

A private tour allows you to enjoy the boat for your group only. This is already a big advantage, but there’s more. When you book a private tour, you get to beat the crowds thanks to two solutions: the counter-the-clock tour or the reverse tour. Here are more details about each option:

• Counter-the-clock tour: Instead of departing at 9:00 AM like every other boat, you’ll start your tour around 45 minutes later. That way, you will get to experience deserted islands/lagoons, instead of being among dozens of boats. Unlike an early departure, you won’t have the stress of “staying ahead” and you’ll be able to spend more time in one destination if you enjoy it.
• Reverse tour: You’ll depart at the same time as everybody else but you’ll do the tour in the reverse order, starting with what normally is the last destination, and finishing with what is normally the first one.

You can choose one or the other solution when you make your booking. There is no additional cost. You can also, and of course, decide to go at the same time as the other boats by keeping this option unchecked. Our recommended option is the “counter-the-clock” tour.

Deposit and Reservation:

You only need to make a 30% confirmation deposit in order to confirm and reserve your private tour. You’ll be able to settle the remaining balance in cash once you’re in El Nido.
