Private Island Hopping Tour B

About This Crawl

An 8-hour private island-hopping tour covering El Nido's Tour B route: Snake Island, Pinagbuyutan Island, Cudugnon Cave, Cathedral Cave, and Entalula Beach. Buffet lunch, water, fruit, life vests, licensed boat and crew all included. The environmental fee (PHP 400) is a government charge on top.

What to Expect

You board a private bangka at El Nido's pier. Snake Island's S-shaped sandbar is the first stop for photos. Cudugnon Cave requires crawling through a narrow entrance into a chamber with archaeological significance. Cathedral Cave is larger, with stalactites and a cathedral-like dome. Pinagbuyutan Island has vertical limestone cliffs and a beach. Entalula Beach is the final stop for swimming and the buffet lunch. The private format means you set the timing at each stop.

Who It's For

Tips

• Cudugnon Cave has a tight entrance. Skip it if you are claustrophobic.
• The PHP 400 environmental fee is paid separately at the port. Bring cash.

Verdict

At USD 129 for a private boat, crew, lunch, and 5 stops, this is well-priced for the El Nido island-hopping circuit. Tour B is the better choice for those who prefer caves and beaches over lagoons.
