The philosophy

The luxury of subtraction.

In El Nido, the rarest commodity isn't access — it's restraint. Everyone visits the lagoons. Few experience them in quiet.

Four locations, not seven

We cap the day at exactly four destinations — chosen for solitude, not check-listed for volume. Bypass standard routes for an itinerary of kalinaw (tranquility).

Two vessels, one journey

Your twin-engine speedboat carries only you. A separate prep boat moves quietly ahead, setting the beach lunch so your deck stays clean — no smoke, no fish smell, no clutter.

Big Lagoon, first light

We arrive before any other operator. You drift inside the cathedral walls in silence, before kayaks and crowds reshape the morning.

Built from expedition experience

After thousands of Seatours Palawan expeditions, the founding team crafted Seatours to answer what they learned: the best journeys aren't about volume. They're about intimacy.

The unhurried itinerary

First light. Long lunch. Slow return.

A day shaped by tide and light, not by checklist. We arrive at Big Lagoon before any other operator — then linger at one beach long enough to forget the time.

1

07:30 · Hotel pickup with Host Henrick

Quiet door-to-door pickup anywhere in El Nido. Brief at the boat with Captain Raymond and crew.

2

08:00 · Big Lagoon — first light

You arrive before kayaks and tour bancas reshape the morning. Drift the cathedral walls in silence, photograph the cliffs alone.

3

11:00 · Pinagbuyutan — the long lunch

The day's centre. A private island lunch on a sand-bottom beach, served on bamboo and banana leaves. Snorkel, nap in shade, swim from the shore. Stay as long as the light is good.

4

15:00 · Entalula — the coral garden

Final swim and snorkel above coral visible from the deck. Visibility regularly past 30 metres on clean tides.

5

16:00 · Slow scenic return · 16:30 arrival

Late-afternoon light on the limestone karsts. Hotel drop-off included.

+

16:30 · Sunset Reserve add-on · +₱10,000

Extend to 18:30. A reserved sunset cove with sundowners and a cooler of chilled drinks — then the slow run home in the last of the gold.

Private Pinagbuyutan island lunch — grilled fish, calamari, lechon, fresh mango and watermelon on a quiet El Nido beach
Simplified excellence · ₱38,000

Everything included. Nothing extra.

No upsells, no permit fees on the beach, no surprises on the boat. A single price that buys you the day.

The Seatours fleet

Expansive for groups. Intimate for two.

Two vessels, each tuned to a different rhythm. Same crew standard, same simplified excellence. Same ₱38,000 price — you pay for the day, not the seat.

The Expansive Charter · 4–8 guests

Twin-engine 30ft deck, our default for groups. Crosses the archipelago without fuss in any condition.

  • Commanding agility. Twin-engine response cuts across amihan and habagat wind without compromise.
  • Expansive space. Wide bow, shaded mid-deck, dry storage — room to move and rest.
  • Tactile comfort. Quilted leather seating, varnished teak underfoot.
  • Shared silence. Engineered acoustics so conversation — or quiet — is never overridden.

The Intimate Charter · 1–4 guests

Single 175HP for couples and small groups. Faster, nimbler, with shallower reach for hidden coves.

  • Agile frame. Light hull responds to the captain's slightest input — turns inside what a banca cannot.
  • Efficient propulsion. A single 175HP cuts fuel and noise, lengthens the quiet stretches.
  • Shallow access. Reaches sandbars and reef shelves that exclude larger vessels.
  • Private capacity. Built for 1–4 — the closest thing to a one-couple expedition.
The Seatours Accord

Our promises to you.

Four principles that govern every charter — how we plan, how we cancel, how we treat your time on the water.

Rhythm of the tide

The day is choreographed to tide, light, and wind — not to a fixed checklist. We arrive at Big Lagoon at first light because the water demands it.

Grace of time

If weather or the Coast Guard halts the day, you get a full refund or a reschedule — no negotiation. Date changes are free up to 14 days out.

The luxury of empty space

We will never sell your boat to another guest. Even if you book for two, the deck is yours — no shared seats, no last-minute joiners.

Fluidity

Within the four stops, the order is yours. Stay an extra hour at Pinagbuyutan, skip Big Lagoon for Small — the captain plans the day around you.

FAQ

Common questions.

Per boat, not per person. The full day with Captain Raymond and crew, the Expansive or Intimate vessel, separate prep boat, hotel pickup with Host Henrick, an exclusive island lunch, two towels per guest, snorkel gear, cooler of cold calamansi, fresh fruit on bamboo, and every island permit. The only extra is the ₱800/person government environmental fee, paid in cash on arrival.
A shared day tour is ₱9,500 per person — efficient, but you share the boat with 20 strangers and the schedule with seven operators. The Premium is built for the opposite: four locations, your own vessel, Big Lagoon before anyone else arrives, lunch you don't share. If two guests do the math, the value is in what's removed — not added.
Yes — within reason. The four-stop rhythm is the default because it works, but the order, the lunch length, and the snorkel sites are yours to shape. Tell us at booking, or message the Seatours founders directly on WhatsApp the night before.
A 50% deposit (₱19,000) holds your date — the rest is settled in cash or card on the day of the tour. Date changes are free up to 14 days prior. Inside 14 days, we'll move you subject to availability.
If the Coast Guard suspends sailings or our captain judges the conditions unsafe, you get a 100% refund or a free reschedule — your choice. We never sail through a storm to save a deposit. Amihan (Dec–Mar) and habagat (Jun–Sep) winds shift the safe routes, not the quality of the day.
Yes — vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, halal, no shellfish. Tell us at booking or in the notes field. The lunch is cooked fresh that morning, so anything within reason can be honoured.
