Overview

The classic El Nido island-hopping day. Cruise out into Bacuit Bay on a bangka to Miniloc Island and its lagoons, where towering limestone walls rise straight out of glass-clear water.

Kayak or swim through the Big Lagoon, squeeze through the rock opening into the Secret Lagoon, then slow down on the white sand of Seven Commando Beach and Shimizu Island — named, the story goes, after a Japanese diver lost in an underwater tunnel nearby.

Guest reviews

From verified guest bookings

It was fantastic. Sam, our tour guide, and our other tour guide, whose name I don’t know, guided me through the Secret Lagoon because I’m a poor swimmer. Sam was also very funny. Thank you, guys, for your help. It was a great experience.
