Private boat tour prices between El Nido and Coron depend on the number of people and the number of days. For example, ideal for romantic couples who do not want to share the boat with strangers, a four day tour is ideal and goes for $2,500, all inclusive (accommodation, three square meals a day of your preference, snacks, soft drinks and water, entrance fees, and if you wish, a gratis case of beer or bottle of wine). You can check out our price calculator on our island hopping page or use the contact form there to ask us for other combinations of days and number of people.
There are 52 islands in the area, off the beaten path and away from the tourist hustle. Especially if you hire your own, private boat, because the group tours can be a bit of a zoo, a horn often blown to herd up the guests before it is time to move onto the next location, as per schedule. Choose what kind of locations you like and our boatman will craftily avoid the other groups so you can enjoy the island beaches to yourselves.
If you prefer a USD price breakdown in a table format, here are some of the more common combinations:
Note that our regular banca boats need at least two days to navigate this long distance (about 120km). If you’d like to achieve this in only one day you will need a speedboat.
Linapacan area only
If you have the time to just hang and chill, or are a budget traveler, another option is to take a boat or ferry to Linapacan, half way between El Nido and Coron, in a beautiful, untouched area with pristine beaches, hospitable people, and the clearest waters in the world. You can get to us by public ferry for about 1,500p from either El Nido area or Coron. Once here, we can take you on excursions to the many surrounding island. Day trips and end your day back in your air-conditioned hotel, or camp out on a remote beach, or stay in one of the many bamboo huts on an island beach.
Plenty to see in the area, such as caves, trekking or biking through the jungle, and diving as explained on our services page.
Alternatively, you can take one of our boats between Sibaltan (a wonderful archeological village about 1.5 hours by van east of El Nido) and Coron. Some boats can depart from El Nido for a higher price. Prices are per boat and depend on the size of the boat and number of days of the tour. You can hire your own boat, invite others to lower costs, or join other groups according to the tour schedule page, where you will find detailed info and prices for each operator.
The accommodation is free if you sleep on the boat, 300-500p to sleep in a bed on land or tent on a deserted island (400p if two people sharing) and meals are 400p and include fruits and other snacks. Trips include free stops for snorkeling or island explorations, there are caves, trekking through the jungle and diving is possible. Some deserted islands charge 100p per person to stay over.
Private Boat Tour Details
The banca boats generally have a capacity of up to 12 guest, more comfortably 6-8 so you can sit on the benches in the front with a table between you for eating and a shade above. You can check out our island hopping homepage for a quick calculation of the total, all-inclusive price, which depends on the number of people and number of days (between El Nido and Coron). We can also organise private custom tours around El Nido or Coron only.
Here is a preview of some of the islands along the way:
Barangonan
Calacala
Calibangbangan
Eli Cave
Patoyo
Pical
Sitio Eli
Takling
Custom tours to other islands can easily be arranged (prices vary depending on distance and number of tour days).

SPECIAL TRIPS TO SHIP WRECKS (from San Miguel) |
There are two shipwrecks in the Linapacan area and we may be able to organise a professional diving instructor, otherwise the best shipwreck diving is around Coron.

Hi. We are staying in El Nido town and are looking to do a day trip to Linapacan. We are really hoping to see clear water and beautiful beaches for snorkeling and swimming. Can you tell me if a day trip is possible and what the cost is?
Sent you PM. Totally beautiful here for sure. I got a small boat for five people max, 1500p a day total price, plus 100p for a meal at the boatman’s house on another island. I got bigger boats for larger groups. Note this is only for a local tour, so you have to get here first, if you haven’t booked a private tour with us (which could include a local tour). Here ore details about the public ferries between El Nido – Linapacan – Coron.
Hi SailorSam,
We are looking at a private boat tour for 3 people. We have 3d/2nights hoping to squeeze everything in those days for a Coron to El Nido trip. I have visited El Nido before but I also want to be in Coron even just for a day. Can you recommend the best options for us?
Already emailed with you. Didn’t get notification of this comment, so if you are in a rush, best to contact us through our site’s form.
Hi. How safe is it to travel by boat in mid february? You mentioned big waves, so im assuming that the weather can be changing a lot that period. Im going crazy over the 4-5 day boat trip from El Nido to Coron.
Cheers.
February is the waviest time of the year, when the coast guard often shuts down the public ferries until the waves subsides, so during this time there are often delays for at least a couple of days. The private boats, however, generally circumvent this. They wont take a chance if they think it is risky, for your safety and because their boats are their lives, but it can seem scary for those who are not used to it. On one of our boats I once went on an excursion through 4m high swells. The boat went up and down, up and down like on a roller coaster and I had to wear a snorkeling mask because the constant splash of salt water in my eyes burned too much, so it wasn’t the most pleasant journey. If our boats cancel or delay due to extreme weather, I’ll return your deposit in full, but if our boats wont go, no one else in their right mind will. You can also check out our main kitesurfing page to get an idea of weather forecasts around that time.
Thank you greatly for the answer. I will check the page to see if mid january/beginning of march is better. 4m swells are not my cup of tea 😀
Cheers,
Emir
It wasn’t like that all of last February, but perhaps a week, the rest maybe 2m. The page also has a link to weather patterns for the entire year preceding, including wave heights etc. But this of course varies from year to year, and is for the Cuyo islands, which might be rougher on average, exposed more to the open ocean. In the future I hope to get my own weather station but still a bit early for that.
My family and I were planning next May to visit El nido. We will ride the plane from Manila to Lio airport. Do you have boat there to pick up us? We’re like 8-9 person who wanted to see the beautiful islands of El nido. Can you send me how much per tour?
We don’t yet service the El Nido area and a special permit is required for that. I can organise boat tours starting from Sibaltan or San Fernando, east of El Nido, taking you north to Linapacan or Coron.
Good morning from Greece! i am a single traveler, will be in Coron between Feb. 26 to Mar. 3 and despite its a short one, i would like to swim in the world’s clearest waters (despite coming from a country with awsome clear friendly seas). Do you know ferry schedule from and back to Coron (2017 updated) San Miguel? Moreover, in case the schedule is not suitable and given the fact that in my case, its impossible to rent myself…how can i seek for joiners? i can’t go ask around and harrass other tourists…you know Coron, how can i get there accurately? I am looking forward to a 1n/2d (and when i say 2 days i mean 2 days, not leaving back to Coron the morning of the second day) and see all i can from Linapacan. Any advice would be much useful.
Kostas – Average Budget Traveler.
Check out the ferries page for details on that.
Go to the private boat schedules page to join or hire your own boat.
What are the waves like January 18th?
You can check out my kitesurfing camp for info on weather conditions. The waviest time of the year is usually around February.
Is it possible and how much does it cost for a private boat from el nido to Coron? Ideally on Friday this week? 27th
Thank you
Hello Rachel, depends on the number of people and number of guests. You can check out yourself using the price calculator at https://www.islandhoppinginthephilippines.com/, but our regular banca boats require at least two days. If you are looking at doing this in a single day, that would require a speedboat, which is more expensive.
Hello. I am with a group of friends and we are interested in booking a private boat from coron to el nido next Thursday June 29th. There will be 6 of us. I just wondered what you are able to offer?
Already responded, thank you.
