What it is
The Seacret Luxury Catamaran Yacht Group Island Hopping Tour is a full-day sailing excursion departing from El Nido Town in Palawan, Philippines, operated by El Nido Yachting Club — widely regarded as the area's only premium catamaran boat-tour operator. Guests board a 50-foot sailing catamaran fitted with bean bags, Bluetooth speakers, and purified drinking water, then spend the day cruising between towering limestone karsts, crystal-clear lagoons, and white-sand beaches. Itineraries rotate by day of the week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Sunday vs. Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday) to cover different island groupings including Big Lagoon, Cadlao Lagoon, Shimizu Island, Hidden Beach, Seven Commandos Beach, Helicopter Island, Small Lagoon, and the operator's exclusive Star Beach. The tour includes a freshly prepared picnic lunch served on a private island — an exclusive El Nido Yachting Club experience — plus roundtrip hotel transfers from select El Nido-area accommodations. A minimum of six guests is required for departure. Tours typically run either a morning slot (around 8:00 AM–1:00 PM) or an afternoon half-day, so check the schedule when booking.
Highlights
- 50-foot sailing catamaran — spacious sundeck with bean bags, Bluetooth speakers, and shade canopy; far more comfortable than traditional bangka outriggers
- Exclusive Star Beach access — a private island beach reserved solely for El Nido Yachting Club guests, giving you uncrowded white sand even on busy days
- Rotating island itineraries — Big Lagoon's emerald waters, Shimizu Island's coral gardens, Hidden Beach behind a cliff passage, and Seven Commandos' palm-lined shore are among the stops depending on your departure day
- Snorkeling in pristine reef zones — mask and fins are typically provided; guides point out vibrant coral and reef fish in Palawan's UNESCO-adjacent waters
- Freshly cooked picnic lunch on a private island — a full hot meal prepared on-site, not a packed lunchbox; unique to El Nido Yachting Club's operation
- Roundtrip hotel transfers included — air-conditioned van pickup from Corong-Corong, El Nido Town, Las Cabanas, or Lio Tourism Estate, plus ETDF eco-tourism fees and all entrance fees covered
Good to know
- Tour duration is typically a full day (around 5–6 hours on the water); departure times are usually 8:00 AM for the all-day slot — confirm the exact schedule at booking as it can vary by season
