El Nido Private Island Picnic + Yacht Charter
About this tour
This is El Nido at its most exclusive. Your private yacht departs from El Nido harbour at your chosen time, carrying a crew of three, a dedicated chef, and up to 6 guests through the limestone karst labyrinth of Bacuit Bay. No shared boats, no tour schedules, no crowds — just you and the most beautiful seascape in the Philippines.
The chef sets up a gourmet island picnic on a deserted beach chosen by the captain — tablecloth, proper cutlery, a chilled seafood spread (tiger prawns, lobster, fresh tuna crudo) with chilled Moet & Chandon, tropical fruit platters, and a dessert table. After lunch, the yacht anchors at a secret snorkelling site known only to long-time local captains, then cruises back through the bay at golden hour as the crew serves cocktails on deck.
The yacht can anchor overnight for guests who wish to extend the experience — contact the operator for liveaboard pricing. A professional underwater photographer can also be arranged to document the snorkelling and picnic at an additional fee.

About the area
Bacuit Bay's 45+ islands include many deserted beaches accessible only to private vessels — group tour boats stick to standard routes, leaving entire stretches of Palawan coastline untouched and private. A yacht charter unlocks this secret map.
