Anna – Australia

This was an amazing trip and very well organised by the crew. So many beautiful sights. Our guide Renz was wonderful and took some incredible photos and videos for us. I happened to fall sick towards the end of the trip from a parasite I contracted a couple of days earlier and the boys rushed me to hospital and stayed with me to make sure I was ok. They even followed up with a message to check up on me afterwards. We cannot thank you enough for taking care of me. Needless to say I highly recommend these guys.

Full description

This is a private tour with exclusive use of the boat for you and your group to experience the tour at your own pace.

The goal of escapists is to escape away from everything as much as possible. You'll want a location that is entirely natural, as isolated as possible, and still somewhat of a secret—it won't do to simply lounge on the immaculate sands and catch some tan lines. This group would definitely live out their beautiful dream on a lagoon tour, which is also referred to as Tour A in El Nido. It circles Shimizu Island, Payong Payong Beach, 7 Commando Beach, the Secret Lagoon, and the Big Lagoon.

This is the island of Miniloc, which has the majority of the lagoons. The Big Lagoon, encircled by black limestone cliffs and featuring a picturesque small stream with startling blue waters, is the first place on the list. And then there's the Secret Lagoon, which is hidden between a grotto of precipitous limestone cliffs. It is simultaneously serene, enchanting, and astounding.

After that, you go through a sizable caldera or depression and emerge into what was formerly a cave. Another beach is called 7 Commando Beach, after a company of troops who were left stranded there during World War II. It has a majestic feel to it due to the limestone cliffs around it, and you may relax there while the sun shines and sip coconut water. A must-see is Shimizu Island.

With the peaceful sea as background and the shade of massive limestone cliffs, it's a great spot to unwind with loved ones. Payong Payong is a great option for beach picnics. This charming location features gorgeous rock formations, charming cliffs, and a little beach. Additionally, the waves are gentle and modest, making them ideal for paddling and casual swimming.

Destinations may change due to weather conditions and lunch stop will be determined by the guide.
