Travel and transport agencies Mimaropa

Some experiences come only once in a lifetime. Five days sailing between El Nido and Coron, from island to island, almost always deserted or inhabited by a few families. Turquoise water, landscapes at the crossroads of Halong Bay and Robinson Crusoe Island. Do not hesitate to offer yourself this expedition. But be careful! If the setting seems to be out of a postcard, the travel conditions are those of Robinson on a holiday (no shower or air conditioning)!

Air Swift is a private airline owned by the Ayala real estate and investment group. A regional airline, it operates mainly to and from El Nido airport, the archipelago's iconic and most popular tourist destination.

It is the only airline to operate direct flights between El Nido and other tourist hubs such as Boracay and Coron.

A professional agency to organize your excursions. In Coron, we recommend the Super Island Ultimate Tour, which takes you to seven key spots including Twin Lagoon, Barracuda and Kanyangan Lake. The meal (prepared with brilliance by the cook during the cruise) is enjoyed on a beautiful beach. A turnkey excursion (hotel transfer included). We regret a little the "crowded" side. At each place, tens of boats which pour their flood of tourists. But really, it does not take anything away from the magic of the experience and the beauty of the landscapes.

How about a multi-day boat trip from Coron to El Nido (or vice versa)? This is one of the most popular activities of a trip to Palawan. And Tao Philippines is one of the pioneer agencies in this field since 2006. With them, you benefit from their professionalism and a well-functioning organization (no need to worry). All this has a cost: about 400 € for 3 days on a boat with 25 people. But on the program, snorkeling, unforgettable meals, deserted islands... A dream adventure awaits you!

Tribe Banua organizes banca expeditions from El Nido to Coron (and back) in 3 days and 2 nights. Compared to the big agencies, Tribe Banua offers a more authentic experience, in small groups (10 people max.). The supervision is professional, the meals are excellent, the crew is dynamic and the guide (Lorex) takes care of his clients. Night in a tent and in a hut, snorkeling with turtles, exploration of deserted islands, sunsets and fire on the beach... An adventure so exceptional that we quickly forget the lack of comfort.
