Secret Lagoon චාරිකා

This is the most popular tour in El Nido! We were picked up at our hotel and departed from Corong Corong Beach. We paid 600 pesos here (for environmental fees, etc.) and took a kayak to the boat. Be sure to wear a swimsuit as you will get wet. We set off with about 20 people. Our guide was very kind, and above all, the natural scenery was breathtaking. The food was also delicious! We rented a kayak at the last spot (paid 300 pesos). This place also had amazing views. On the way back, you'll need to hail a tricycle yourself to get back. For belongings, it's a good idea to bring a dry bag and a waterproof phone case. These protected our luggage from a sudden downpour! It was also a good decision to bring goggles, as they don't lend out masks at non-snorkeling spots. We received a WhatsApp message the day before, which was very reassuring. After the tour, they even sent us a photo of our environmental tax ticket. For a full day of fun, this price is quite a bargain! Thank you for a wonderful time!!

We’re so glad we chose this speedboat tour. It felt like we had the entire boat to ourselves since there were no other guests, which made the whole experience feel more private and relaxed. The boat was comfortable, the crew was friendly, and we got to enjoy El Nido’s incredible views without the usual crowds. Being on a speedboat also meant less travel time between stops and more time enjoying the beaches and lagoon. One of the best decisions we made on this trip.
