El Nido island hopping is a full-day boat tour across the Bacuit Bay archipelago in El Nido, Palawan, an area whose surrounding province was named the best island destination in the world by Conde Nast Traveler. The tour runs from around 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and moves between islands, lagoons and snorkelling stops by boat.

The boat weaves between limestone karst towers that rise straight out of turquoise water, stopping at sheltered lagoons and calm swimming spots along the way. Guests can snorkel over shallow reefs and spot colourful marine life, with the pace suited to both confident swimmers and first-time snorkellers. Life vests are available throughout the day, and the crew manages the route between islands so the time on board can go toward taking in the scenery, from open channels to narrow gaps between cliffs, rather than logistics.

Lunch and a licensed tour guide are included for the day, and hotel pickup by tricycle is available within El Nido town proper. Rayna's local team in El Nido handles the booking and stays reachable if anything about your day needs adjusting.

  • Snorkel over shallow reefs and calm swimming areas suited to first-timers and experienced snorkellers alike.
  • Take in views of towering limestone cliffs and turquoise water from the boat between island stops.
