3D2N Coron to El Nido Boat Expedition
3 to 4 per day
The Quiet End First
The southbound crossing opens where the crowds thin and ends in the limestone giants of Bacuit Bay.
Sailing from Coron, you enter the Calamian and Linapacan chains, fifty islands of the clearest water on the planet, before arriving in El Nido on the third afternoon. The same twelve-island route as the northbound expedition, reversed. What sets this direction apart:
- The Calamian First: You begin among the quiet sandbars most travelers never reach, and save the icons of El Nido for last.
- A Capped Group: Shared with no more than eighteen travelers, on the same vessel and crew as our private charter.
- The Natural Routing: Ideal if you fly into Busuanga and want to finish near Puerto Princesa for onward Palawan travel.
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.
Your Captain curates two to five stops each day (four on average) around weather and sea state, so the crossing adapts to the day.
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 book the Coron to El Nido expedition?
A booking is confirmed when you pay the deposit at checkout, receive our written email confirmation, and agree to the Terms of Passage. We process payment through PayPal’s secure checkout — PayPal balance, debit, or credit card — and never handle your card data ourselves.
What is included in the ₱27,900 fare, and how does payment work?
Your fare includes a seat on the shared outrigger, nine meals across the three days, two nights in beachfront camp, snorkel gear, life vests, and a fully licensed local crew. You pay a deposit to reserve, then the balance on the schedule in your confirmation. The ₱800 per person government and environmental fee is paid in cash when you arrive.
Where do I fly in and out for this direction?
This expedition begins in Coron and finishes in El Nido. Fly into Busuanga (Coron) and arrive the day before departure. We pick you up from your Coron hotel on Day 1 and drop you at your El Nido hotel on Day 3. Schedule your onward flight from Lio (El Nido) airport for Day 4, or from Puerto Princesa allowing for the overland transfer.
How do cancellations and refunds work?
Our windows are simple: 14 days or more before departure, a full refund minus a 10% administration fee; 7 to 13 days, a 50% refund; under 7 days, no refund. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method and reach your bank within 5 to 10 business days.
What happens if conditions at sea cancel the trip?
The ocean sets the schedule. Should we or the Coast Guard cancel before departure for severe weather or unsafe seas, you receive either a full refund or a rescheduled departure at no extra cost. During the expedition, the captain may shorten or reroute for safety, with final say on all maritime decisions.
Do I need insurance, and what should I disclose?
We strongly advise comprehensive travel insurance covering medical evacuation, trip cancellation, lost baggage, and water activities; it is not bundled into your fare. At booking, disclose any medical condition, allergy, mobility limitation, or pregnancy that could affect your participation so we can prepare. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
14 days free cancellation window.
