FAQ

Common questions about the 3D2N expedition.

Choosing your trip

Same boat, same islands, same ₱18,900 price — only the start/end towns flip. Choose El Nido → Coron if you are already in El Nido or flying via Puerto Princesa. Choose Coron → El Nido if you fly into Busuanga (USU) and want to finish near El Nido.
Shared = per-person seats on our capped 24–28 guest expeditions — best value and social vibe. Private = flat boat price for your group only, your pace, from ₱220,000. Compare in the table above or visit private 3D2N charter.
A ferry gets you across in one long day with no stops. The expedition is three days of island hopping, snorkeling, beach camps, and meals — the journey is the trip. Read the comparison →
