★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 8 hours · from $124Top rated

Sail El Nido’s quiet islands on a private 43-foot yacht, with snorkeling, fresh lunch, secluded beaches, and a sunset over Bacuit Bay.

“If you are planning a trip to El Nido, you must thinking about booking the tour. Sylvain is very friendly, and he gently took us to the best moment of our stay in El Nido. You will visit the places that are not covered by any of the island hopping tours. It must be a relaxing and unforgettable voyage. Sylvain is a great captain as well as a great chief! The lunch we had on a yacht was one of the best meals we had in the country, including the view. At the time of the sunset, he took us to the perfect point with his small boat and there…”

El Nido Islands: Shared Paraw Sunset Sailing

7.El Nido Islands: Shared Paraw Sunset Sailing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 30 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $35

Sail Bacuit Bay at sunset on a traditional paraw, with limestone cliffs, sea views, wet nets, and a few important safety points to know.

“I’m surprised this trip has so many 5-star reviews. I don’t usually leave negative feedback, but I feel the need to share my honest experience. Firstly, this is a sailboat that relies entirely on the wind to move and stay upright, which didn’t feel very safe. You’re sat in a net on either side of the boat — the one my partner and I were on went underwater. It was scary, and all of my possessions, including an expensive camera, got soaked. We sailed miles out from land, and as it got darker, I started to feel quite anxious. No one on my trip was provided a life jacket. If…”

13.El Nido Islands: Shared Paraw Sunrise Sailing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $35

Sail Bacuit Bay before dawn on a traditional paraw, watch the sunrise over El Nido’s cliffs, and enjoy a quiet small-group outing.

“You might think this experience is just about the sunrise, but it’s so much more than that. One of our favourite things was that the sailing began at the dead of night, allowing us to gaze at the stars while the crew navigated through the dark waters. As the first colors of dawn appeared, we continued to peacefully explore the bay. The unspoiled beauty of El Nido, free from crowds, was truly remarkable. The crew was very accomodating, friendly and professional. Highly recommend it!”
