Yes. You can book a private boat for any of the El Nido routes. Rates depend on group size and season, and Anang confirms the price with you.

Question 4

How far in advance should I book?

A few days ahead is usually enough outside peak season. For holidays and the summer months, send your request as early as you can.

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, a waterproof bag, a camera and a reusable water bottle. Water shoes help on rocky beaches.

Question 6

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first. If tours are suspended because of sea conditions, Anang will contact you about your options before you head out. Routes and stops may also change on the day depending on the weather. Once a tour has started, the full rate applies.

Where is the meeting point?

Accepted Answer

Anang’s office is on Serena Street, Brgy. Buena Suerte in El Nido town. Your exact meeting time and place are confirmed with your booking.

Can Anang pick us up at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send your flight details and number of passengers and Anang will arrange a van pickup at Puerto Princesa Airport or Lio Airport, and drop you at your hotel.

Question 11

GCash, Maya, credit and debit cards (Visa and Mastercard) and PayPal. You can reserve with a deposit or pay in full. Payments are handled on secure checkout pages, so Anang never sees your card number.
