Open Expeditions


NOTICE: OUR EMAIL SYSTEM WAS DOWN  JANUARY 23 to 27, PLEASE EMAIL US AGAIN IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ANSWER.


Join a group of like-minded independent travellers on a journey that connects El Nido and Coron - or vice versa - through the beautiful Linapacan group [see map]. Our expedition is the only access to this remote region on a 5 day journey, with no itinerary or set route. We leave after breakfast on the first day and arrive before nightfall in our destination port on the last day. What happens in between is up to you.

tao expeditions        

We stay in villages and on the boat, or camp on the islands, eat hearty feasts of fresh seafood and enjoy a few beers and share stories round a fire at night. During the day we get lost in a paradise playground of deserted islands and go snorkeling, get some coconuts, and fish off the back of the boat, or just read your book and relax on deck.

        
An Open Expedition costs 3,800pesos per person per day 
Our regular 5day/4night is 19,000pesos per person

This includes accommodation in the islands, all meals, drinks [bring your own alcohol] use of equipment such as snorkels, fishing equipment, 2 kayak all camping equipment and beddings, guides and a donation to tao social welfare projects.
