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

We were a little nervous booking Yohak since they were brand new and didn’t have any reviews yet. But after chatting with the founder on WhatsApp, the whole experience already felt different—much more personal than the big agencies—so we took the leap.

It ended up being the best decision we made in El Nido. From the start, everything was seamless. Our host, Henrick, met us right in our hotel lobby (no haggling for trikes!) and walked us to the pier, where Captain Raymond was already waiting with the speedboat.

The boat itself was spotless and surprisingly spacious. One of the smartest touches: they run a separate boat for the crew and food, so the guest boat never feels crowded or like a floating kitchen. The small details really stood out—two fresh towels each, a cooler stocked with calamansi juice, and all the gear ready to go.

We had a private lunch on a quiet island around 11 AM with absolutely no other groups in sight. Coming back from snorkeling to cold towels and fresh fruit on bamboo sticks felt like such a high-end experience.

If you’re looking for something beyond the usual cookie-cutter tours, this is it. They actually listened to what we wanted and adjusted the itinerary to find the quietest spots in Bacuit Bay. This might be their first review, but it definitely won’t be the last. Team Hinahon is the real deal.
We were honestly a bit skeptical at first because there were only a few reviews, and the photos looked almost too perfect to be real. We weren’t sure if the actual experience would live up to what we saw online.

But on the day of the tour, all our doubts disappeared. Everything turned out even better than expected! The organization was seamless, from the booking itself with the owner. And the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the customer service was easily 100%. They made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience from start to finish.

The food was also a huge highlight, absolutely 10/10. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and exceeded our expectations.

What impressed us most was that the actual experience matched the beautiful photos, which is rare these days. Every detail was well thought out, and you can really tell that the team cares about providing a memorable experience.

Overall, everything was worth it. If you’re hesitating because there aren’t many reviews yet, we were in the exact same position, but we’re so glad we took the chance. We would definitely recommend Yohak and would happily book with them again!

Try and book them. You'll thank me after 😅♥️ I Just never really had that kind of experience with Island hopping in my entire life. You'll never regret

Thank you Yohak team, you guys made our first Palawan trip unforgettable 🥹
We had an absolutely wonderful island-hopping experience!

From start to finish, the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with anything we needed throughout the trip.

One of the highlights was the sumptuous lunch they prepared for us by the shore. The food was delicious, generously served, and made our experience even more memorable. The crew's hospitality and dedication truly stood out.

What we appreciated most was how they stayed with us the entire time, patiently assisting us and ensuring that everything was taken care of until we were ready to leave. Their professionalism, warmth, and exceptional service exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable island-hopping adventure. Thank you for making our day so special! 🌴☀️🚤❤️
Set the bar for private tours

We booked the YOHAK semi-private tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Service was flawless from booking to the very end.

Communication with Jovet and Camille from admin was smooth and responsive — made everything stress-free.

On the boat, tour guide Henrick and Capt. Raymond went above and beyond. Henrick led us to a snorkeling spot where we truly enjoyed the awesome underwater views — so many colorful fishes and beautiful corals! They made sure my bestie and I felt like VIPs.

Every island we visited was exclusively ours, so it truly felt private. Capt. Raymond even made us hats out of coconut leaves during lunch break — such a fun and thoughtful touch!

Special shoutout to Marvin and his assistant for the food and table set-up. The meal was delicious and the setup right on the water made it feel like a luxury picnic.

YOHAK has set the bar for private tours. We were literally spoiled the whole day. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
Amazing! Enjoyed our Yohak semi-private speed boat tour.

The fact that the crew was quiet helped. Their “itinerary of silence” gave us a relaxing space and time to soak in the views. Our guide Henrick helped me enjoyed snorkeling as I am afraid of deep waters.

The boat is comfy and clean. Lunch was amazing too! The food was yummy. They provided towels, moist face towels, water, and calamansi drink and cashew nuts to snack on.

Really enjoyed it!!! Keep up the good work.
We had an incredible time on the Yohak semi-private speed boat tour Henrick and Captain Raymond.

The speed boat was had comfortable seats and was covered to keep the sun off. We were first to big lagoon and had all of the best spots to ourselves.

The freshly grilled lunch on a private beach was the best meal I’ve ever had on a tour. I’ll surely dream about that grilled chicken. My wife raved about how luxurious the experience was.

We couldn’t imagine El Nido island hopping any other way!
If you’re considering a private boat tour with Yohak, book it immediately.

This was one of the most luxurious and thoughtfully curated experiences we’ve ever had. The boat itself was absolutely incredible — pristine, comfortable, and clearly designed for a premium experience from start to finish.

From the moment we boarded and were welcomed with fresh calamansi juice, every detail felt intentional and elevated. After each stop, we were greeted with cold towels, which was such a refreshing and classy touch. The crew truly anticipated everything before we even had to ask.

What made the day especially unforgettable was how personalized the entire experience felt. The captain and boat hand were incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the islands and locations, but also about timing everything perfectly to avoid crowds and maximize the experience at each stop. It never felt like a standard tour — it was completely custom-tailored to us.

The highlight was an amazing freshly cooked meal served on a private island, which honestly felt straight out of a luxury travel magazine. Every part of the day was seamless, relaxing, and unforgettable.

Yohak delivered a world-class experience with genuine hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail. Worth every penny and easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve had anywhere in the world.
Absolutely incredible private boat tour! The boat itself was huge and they took us to so many different beautiful islands.

They timed it so that we went at the best times when there were no other tourists and they even cooked us a huge lunch which was delicious.

They were so kind and timed everything perfectly and thoughtfully. Highly recommend!
Easy communication through WhatsApp, PickUp at the Hotel and a very nice trip apart from all the crowded spots.

Luxurious, clean and spacious boats with a very kind crew. Absolutetly amazing food served on the beautiful beaches.

Overall a great experience, don't wanna miss out on that :)
Took a chance on a brand-new operator and honestly, I’m so glad we did. Yohak is doing things differently. From the personal WhatsApp chat with the founder to the actual tour, it felt bespoke, not “mass-produced.”

Henrick and Captain Raymond were absolute pros. They have a genius setup where the food/crew boat goes ahead of the guests, so the speedboat stays clean and relaxing. We had a gorgeous lunch on a totally private beach while most tours were still fighting for space at the big lagoons.

The little things, cold towels, iced calamansi juice, and private spots in Bacuit Bay made it feel like a luxury experience.

Don’t let the lack of reviews scare you; these guys are going to be the top choice in El Nido very soon. Go with Team Hinahon!
Went on the private speedboat tour and it was amazing!
