A multi-day expedition is one of the most exciting ways to travel between Coron and El Nido. Unlike a regular island tour, an expedition takes you through remote islands for several days, with stops for snorkeling, swimming, beach exploration, and overnight stays in simple island camps.
Most expeditions last between 3 days and 2 nights and 5 days and 4 nights. Meals, accommodation, boat transportation, activities, and basic equipment are usually included.
Which Expedition Should You Choose?
Your best option depends on four things:
- Duration: Choose a shorter expedition if your schedule is limited.
- Comfort: Island camps are generally simple and may have limited electricity and facilities.
- Group atmosphere: Some expeditions are social and lively, while others are quieter.
- Route: You can travel from Coron to El Nido or from El Nido to Coron.
Popular operators include Tao Philippines, Big Dream Boatman, Buhay Isla, and Keelooma. One worth noting is Seanomads as they offer a shorter trips if you are running out of time, and price is reasonable. Packages, routes, schedules, and prices may change in general, so compare the latest information before booking.
