      Best tour ever, the guys on the boat really took care of us. If you want a awesome experience this is the place. I dont remember the guides name but he will show you super spots when snorkeling.

      Great trip, plenty of time in 3 different locations, for swimming, kayaking, snorkelling, each one with amazing views. Staff on board were very friendly and helpful and lunch was very nice too.

      Great Tour, Greater Guide, Highly Recommended
      Omar is the best guide we’ve ever encountered. The waves were very strong on our tour day, so we couldn’t snorkel and decided to relax on the beach instead. We were warned to be cautious as the waves were quite powerful, to which we lost one of the tour’s snorkel gear to the sea. We didn’t realize it until we got back on the boat, as it was time to return. We were certain it would be impossible to find it given the strong waves, so we prepared to pay the charge for the lost gear. Then, Omar kindly offered to get into the water himself to search for it. The captain steered the boat close to where we had been, and Omar jumped in like a merman to start his search. After 10 minutes, we started to lose hope and suggested heading back, but Omar did not give up. Shortly after, the captain suggested he search a specific area, and tah-dah! Omar pulled the lost gear out of the sand! He said he wanted to ensure that the tour started and ended happily with no losses, and he made that happen. Beyond this incident, Omar was kind from the start—kayaking for us, bringing us to beautiful lagoons, telling us stories, and even apologizing for the strong waves, which were, of course, out of his control. The strong waves did make the water sandy and disappointing for snorkeling, but Omar and the captain made our day with an enjoyable speed boat tour. If you are short on time and prefer smaller crowds, I would highly recommend this tour. Omar also takes amazing photos!

      An Amazing Day!
      I had the best experience with El Nido Yacht Club even as I’m not sure it can be replicated. But if you find yourself in this situation, this is what you do: They tell you straight up that they need a minimum of six people signed up for a tour (this one was the Whole Day Premium Catamaran Group Tour.) We were five, but when asked, we all agreed to split the cost of the sixth ticket in order for the tour to not be canceled. The result was an amazing day as we had this huge yacht to ourselves. There is plenty of shade on the boat (one of the reasons I picked it) and also a not-scary bathroom on board (another reason I picked it). and plenty of spaces to spread out. They don’t have alcohol on board, but I believe you can bring it with you. Even if not, there are guys with boats and coolers at the island hopping stops that you can buy beer and rum in coconuts from. Our tour guide was Mhamar, and he was the best. Super personable, helped me as the solo person take cool pics of myself, and also took group shots. Wear your swim shoes in the water at the island hopping spots, there are sharp rocks. Communication via email is great. It’s a higher price tag than most other tours, but also most definitely worth it.

      One for the books!
      The staff were very accomodating making our experience smooth, organize and hassle-free. From the pick-up to drop-off. Sir Mark was very insightful. We learned about the history of El Nido through the witty trivias of Sir Mark along with his dad jokes. We were able to go to their private beach which was very peaceful and relaxing. We also enjoyed listening to music whole going from one island to another. We also enjoyed the Small Lagoon and Cadlao Lagoon all by ourself with no crowd at all because of Sir Mark’s perfect timing. We highly recommend El Nido Yachting for your El Nido adventures.

      Our guide Omar and the crew were amazing. They took us to two additional private beaches with no one there but me and my wife. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to avoid the crowds and have a teuly VIP experience. It's well worth it!

      Great day out!
      We were the only two that booked on the tour for the day so it turned into a private tour. They asked us what we wanted to do and altered the itinerary accordingly. They made sure we were having fun and helped tremendously with taking photos and videos for us. Would recommend this to anyone that has abit more money than joining a big tour boat, even if you have to share the boat it would only be a small group!

      Fantastic experience!
      Fantastic experience! The beaches/islands we went to were breathtakingly amazing. The crew on the speedboat were so friendly, helpful, kind and attentive. Omar, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. The speedboat was also comfortable, safe and well-equipped - life jackets, bottled water, snacks, towels and snorkeling gear were all provided. I highly recommend this tour, it's perfect for families with toddlers/babies as travel time to the islands is much shorter, there is shade on the boat and the tour is only for a few hours so not too much for the kids.

    My wife and I had a great experience with El Nido Yachting Club! We did the catamaran group tour and couldn't be happier! The tour was about 8 hours long and we got to see the beauty of Bacuit Bay including their own private island where we had lunch and snorkeled. The catamaran was very clean and had its own CR (bathroom). There is plenty of room to layout or walk around. Omar and his team were very hospitable and welcoming. Looking at all the other crowded tour boats, we were happy we booked this tour. Plus it also seemed like they timed the stops so it was less crowded! I hope to come back and do another tour with them!

    A late pick-up and late start of the trip at approx. 10:30 am initially resulted in a 3 island roadmap. However, in consultation with the captain, the plan was changed to include 5 locations resulting in a late return to El Nido close to sunset.
    The catamaran was a real enjoyment. Plenty of space for all to roam about on deck and inside and smooth cruising from island to island. Complementary drink was served before departure and plenty of refreshments on board. Great crew of 5 that did everything to make us feel content. Lunch was excellent on their private beach. A winner!

    Choose the catamaran tour if you want to have a really special day exploring Bacuit Bay. This experience is definetely worth the price. You'll have a lot of space to enjoy the sun and admire the views and the lunch at the private island is something to remember! The atmosphere on the boat is very friendly and they play really good music! Go on Tour D with them!

    We had a great day exploring the spectacular islands an lagoons off El Nido on the catamaran with El Nido Yachting Club.

    The catamaran was modern and well equipped with everything you needed, towels and water were provided as was an excellent lunch that we enjoyed onboard.

    There were only 8 people on the trip and there was ample space for everyone, the crew and especially the tour guide were so helpful and I’d have no hesitation booking with these guys again.

    Highlight of the trip was seeing a real life ‘Nemo’ in its natural environment- amazing!!!!!

    Me and my girlfriend rented a Catamaran yacht to celebrate her birthday and their service was exceptional! They sang a happy birthday song upon our arrival and they even gave us a complimentary cake for my girlfriend and she was very delighted. We had so much fun and overall it was an exciting trip around El Nido. The place is beautiful and it was such an amazing experience. They made that day they extra special for us since they have the best service and their staff are very helpful. Thank you El Nido Yachting Club!! WE WILL DEFINITELY COMEBACK

    Such a wonderful day. The people involved know what they are doing so we felt safe and relaxed. The islands are scenic and breathtaking and can stay in my memory forever, especially the beauty of Cadlao Island. The food is great and the scheduling of all activities was great, so we were able to do three different island hopping tours.

    Genuinely the best day of this if not all holidays! We were a group of 6 friends and the day catered to everyone. The snorkellers were able to go and explore and the sun lovers could hang out on the amazing catamaran (there is also shade if that’s what you prefer). The crew and admin-y guys were fantastic, from the ease of booking and organising the day/food/drink to the actual guys on the boat where nothing was too much trouble. We have some of the best photos ever from that day thanks to Mark who was not only a great guide but a whizz with an iPhone camera! I cannot recommend this trip enough, 10 out 10, already planning to do it again next year.

    This review is for the tour booker “Get Your Guide”, whom I booked a trip with. They state on their website 5 islands that we will be visited on a certain day. The operational tour team has different agenda. So if you are hoping to visit certain islands, I would book the trip at the local hotel you stay or from one of the tour agencies. It will be cheaper and more reliable.
    Otherwise the tour staff were really friendly and accommodating during our trip time and made sure the guest have good time.

    What an incredible day! If you're researching, STOP, just go ahead and book!

    As a solo traveller at the ripe old age of 41, the idea of cramming into a wooden boat all day and visiting sites at the same time as other large groups, did not appeal. But I'm in El Nido to see these beautiful surrounding islands, and a private tour as a solo traveller is pricey and lonely, so what to do?! In strolls El Nido Yachting Club with the perfect option.

    The day on their catamaran group tour was pure luxury, all of the staff were incredible, the lunch exceptional and the stops stunning. You won't visit as many sites as the other tours, but you will snorkel, visit an incredible private beach for lunch, and kayak the Big Lagoon (at least on my day) with the benefit of between destinations relaxing, sunbathing, and taking in the views on the beautiful catamaran rather than crammed into a boat, upright, life vests on.

    It is more expensive of course, which leads to a lovely older crowd (30s-50s) who I got to spend an unforgettable day with. There were only 12 of us on the tour with plenty of space to spare.

    Do not hesitate to join this tour!

    100% the highlight of our trip! Ms Lallaine was very helpful in providing information and assisting with the booking of the trip. On the day, our catamaran was upgraded to the Seacation yacht. Our guide was amazing, the staff were attentive and made sure we were hydrated throughout the day. The private beach was in a beautiful location where we had a lunch spread, and you can snorkel and relax. They were also accommodating towards dietary requirements as my partner is vegan.

    I highly recommend this tour and would love to do it again!!

    Thanks again to the El Nido Yachting Club team :)
