Romantic sunset surprise wedding proposal? We got you covered!
Best place to propose to your loved one is in paradise, and what better paradise than an area which has been ranked as the best island in the world with the most crystal clear waters, Palawan. Between the popular destinations of El Nido and Coron is a remote area adorned with 82 paradise white sand beach islands.
We organize the location of your proposal on a deserted, sunset facing beach near either in El Nido or Coron, complete with candles, rose petals, romantic picnic blanket and delicious assortment of hors d’oeuvres and fine wine.
You will be accompanied by a film crew of two to three cameramen (depends on location) and one video drone operator and videographer under the pretense they are promoting tourism in the country and why you got a special deal on this tour. This will be the surprise element of your proposal.
The proposal tour is a single day tour near either Coron or El Nido, but is best combined with a multiday tour between the two. Imagine gliding through remote and untouched paradise for four (or any other number of) days with fantastic snorkeling, pristine coral reefs, accommodation of your choice, from fancy to camping on a deserted island, only to end your tour with the surprise wedding proposal, whereby the multiday crew connects with the proposal tour, ending your trip with a wonderful sunset.
At the end of it you get a copy of all photo and video footage, edited to perfection by our team. Here is just one sample from a proposal tour in Coron (more samples may be found on our Youtube page):

We require 90% downpayment to secure your booking.
To make it a surprise proposal, we usually tell your girlfriend or partner that we will be promoting Palawan tourism hence the photoshoot. 😄 so far it has been effective. 😅
El Nido
For El Nido, add an additional ₱20,000 to every package with photographers and videographers included in it, as they are more expensive than in Coron.
Here is the video our El Nido team made for Kevin&Kay (unfortunately the rainy day hampered use of the drone, but it still turned out great and, as usual, she said YES!):
Optional add-on multiday tour preceding the proposal tour
The price of a multiday tour between El Nido and Coron depends on the number of people and days, but generally for two people and four days (our most popular package) costs $2,500 total, all inclusive. Note that this is a private tour and completely customizable, with your choice of accommodation. If you choose the fancier accommodation options (resorts), you simply pay the extra above the usual budget.
For more details feel free to send us a note so we can design the perfect package for you!

Additional Info
More information and photos follows.
Pristine paradise for the perfect proposal
Philippines has thousands of stunning, clear water islands and lagoons, especially between El Nido and Coron, Palawan. It does not just have exquisite pristine beaches but is also way more affordable than Maldives or Bali. Proposing in a fancy resort or restaurant is already too mainstream and, to think about it, is also very expensive. There is not much better and romantic way than by proposing to your loved one in a paradise.
Imagine, you island hop in some beautiful islands and finish with a surprise marriage proposal in one of the beautiful islands in either Coron or El Nido. If you want to get fancier, we also have multiday tours between El Nido and Coron where you can do island hopping in more secluded islands away from crowds.
Privacy is the key for the ideal marriage proposal
We offer private boat tours in El Nido, Coron and multi-day tours in between which you can customize the way you want. Meaning, you may choose which islands you would like to visit and where you would like to propose. With private boat tours, you are in charge of your own time, you do not need to rush and you can leave earlier than joiner tours. You can even camp out on your own deserted island!
Sadly, before, in Coron, you may leave as early as 7am but due to the new management, all boats need to be checked out by the coast guards at 8am, but it is still good because joiner tours usually leave at 9am or 9:30am. Moreover, our boatman will take you first to less crowded places in case you start later than 8am. Surely it is a WIN WIN! Or if you choose the multiday tours between El Nido and Coron, you have 52 isolated and often desolate islands to play with.
However, if you have not researched which island is perfect for your proposal, I personally would recommend Banol Beach if in Coron. At around 3pm there are fewer people left on the island. Even way better if you do it in Banol beach just in time for the sunset. Isn’t it more romantic with the sunset in the background and a heart-shape of rose petals in the sand? Simple yet so romantic that your partner could only say “YES!”.

I had the pleasure to deal with Melson there in El Nido, he helped me a lot in the organization of the proposal plan i had for my girlfriend, it was hard because of the weather it was very close to be cancelled, but he gave me plenty of solutions with no extra charge and at the end she said yes! It was amazing m, a dream on earth. He was very pleasant and on that Papaya beach he did a great job of organization and coordination. Thanks Melson and Melasel to have gave me the chance to gift my girlfriend an unforgettable afternoon, we’ll be back in the Philippines and we’ll set up some tours with you guys.

Contacted Mel for a surprise proposal in Philippines and Mel not only met expectations but exceeded them! She was prompt in her responses and costumer service was out of this world. Mel assisted in arranging everything from the proposal location, decoration, photography. Mel was super organized in putting everything together, I wouldn’t change a single thing. I would not hesitate to book them again or recommend to friends. One of the best vendors we’ve worked with! I want to thank Mel and the team! Such an amazing experience!

I am looking to do the proposal package in December of this year and am wondering what the information is. Thank you!
Hi Jack, just sent you all the info by email.
Hi I would like to surprise my girlfriend with proposal, i would like on a beach.
Can you explain me what you can offer me and how much is the cost?
Thanks.
Hello Francesco, will you be arriving in El Nido? We also offer multi day tours between El Nido (starts in Sibaltan) and Coron and day tours in El Nido. Then, you may do the wedding proposal the next day since your arrival in Coron. I’ll cc my husband if you want as he handles the multi day tour.
If you’ll ask me, I think Coron is a better place to do the wedding proposal as we have a secluded island there perfect for it and you can watch the sunset afterwards.
If you haven’t booked your flights yet, you can also fly from Manila to Coron.
But if you’re flying from El nido, you have to get on a fast ferry to get to coron or you can do a multi day boat tour expedition so you won’t miss many beautiful islands in between.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Mel
