3D2N El Nido to Coron Boat Expedition
3-4 per day
The Crossing as the Destination
The crossing north is treated by most as a chore between two destinations. We treat it as the destination itself.
Departing El Nido, you sail into Linapacan, a fifty-island archipelago that ranks among the clearest water on earth, reachable only by sea and only slowly. Twelve islands over three days, two nights at private beachfront camps, every meal cooked fresh aboard. What sets the passage apart:
- The Water Others Miss: Linapacan sits between the two famous towns and is reachable by no day tour. You see the part of Palawan flights pass over.
- A Capped Group: Shared with no more than eighteen like-minded travelers, never a crowded joiner boat.
- The Same Standard: The same vessel, crew, and culinary execution as our private charter.
After guiding 2,000+ Palawan expeditions, founder Jovet Rosento crafted Yohak to answer what he learned: the best journeys aren’t about volume. They’re about intimacy. Every detail serves unhurried, curated experiences for the discerning traveler.
What our guests carry home
Three days, twelve islands.
A slow, scenic crossing through Linapacan and Culion — the archipelago between El Nido and Coron most travelers never see.
This is a one-way journey starting from one port and ending at the other. We will visit 2–5 highlight destinations each day (average 4), depending on weather conditions like winds, waves, and currents. Stay flexible — we adapt and create the best itinerary for you.

The Yohak Accord
Weather & Safety
We are guests of the ocean. If weather compromises safety before departure, we will reschedule your expedition or provide a frictionless 100% refund. Once at sea, the Captain holds final authority over route and timing for the safety of all aboard.
Punctual Departure
Out of respect for every traveler, our shared expeditions depart strictly on schedule. We cannot wait for late arrivals, and a missed departure is gracefully forfeited without refund. We advise arriving at the staging point early.
Dynamic Routing
We adapt the route to bypass the crowds. Your Captain chooses the day’s stops around tides, wind, and other vessels, so the crossing stays quiet and the experience stays private.
Date Flexibility & Cancellations
You may adjust your dates up to 14 days before departure. Beyond this window, your crew, provisions, and seat are strictly locked in. Read our full Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Common Inquiries
Review our charter logistics below, or initiate a private dialogue for highly bespoke requests.
How do I secure my dates on the El Nido to Coron expedition?
Your seats are confirmed once the deposit at checkout is paid, you receive a written confirmation by email, and you have agreed to our Terms of Passage. Payment is handled through PayPal’s secure checkout, which takes PayPal balance, debit, and credit cards. We never see or store your card details.
What does ₱28,900 cover, and when is the balance due?
The fare covers your seat on the shared outrigger, all nine meals, two nights of beachfront camp accommodation, snorkel gear, life vests, and a licensed local crew. A deposit holds your place at booking; the balance is due on the schedule in your confirmation. Government and environmental fees of ₱800 per person are separate and paid in cash on arrival.
Which airport do I fly into, and where do I fly out?
This expedition starts in El Nido and ends in Coron. Arrive in El Nido the day before departure — fly into Puerto Princesa and transfer overland, or fly directly into Lio (El Nido) airport. We collect you from your El Nido hotel on Day 1 and drop you at your Coron hotel on Day 3. Book your onward flight out of Busuanga (Coron) for the evening of Day 3 at the earliest.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Cancel 14 or more days before departure for a full refund, less a 10% administration fee. Between 7 and 13 days, you receive 50%. Inside 7 days, the booking is non-refundable. Refunds return to your original payment method and take 5 to 10 business days to clear your bank.
What if the weather forces a cancellation?
If we or the Philippine Coast Guard call off the departure for typhoons, severe weather, or unsafe seas, you choose a full refund or a free reschedule. Once the expedition is underway, the captain has final authority over the route and may adjust it for safety.
Is travel insurance required, and what should I tell you in advance?
Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended and is not part of the fare; make sure it covers medical evacuation, cancellation, and water activities. Tell us at booking about any medical condition, allergy, mobility need, or pregnancy that affects participation. Guests under 18 travel with a parent or guardian.
14 days free cancellation window.
