CORON, PALAWAN · A PRIVATE ISLAND BASECAMP ON THE TAO EXPEDITION
Off-grid, with rich marine life and coral reefs.
CAMP NGEY NGEY
Camp Ngey Ngey is a private island — the natural place to unwind after days at sea, not to start a trip. Spend a night or more in an open-sided bamboo tuka, swim from a deserted beach, and explore the house reef. Not joining an expedition? Camp Ngey Ngey also works as a standalone trip, with the hospitality that has shaped Tao for 20 years.

THE TAO EXPERIENCE
Camp Ngey Ngey is Tao’s private, Crusoe-style island camp in west Busuanga, northern Palawan. Rebuilt from the remains of a typhoon-wrecked resort using Tao’s bamboo architecture, it is a place to leave the noise of the modern world behind and settle into the raw beauty of island life.
THE TAO EXPERIENCE
At Camp Ngey Ngey, Tao hospitality comes naturally. The beach bar stays open through the day, so you can share a drink with new friends or find a quiet corner with a book. This is also where our famous hand-pulled noodles are made and served.
THE TAO EXPERIENCE
The coral reefs and shipwrecks of the Calamian Islands support extraordinary marine life. Camp Ngey Ngey has its own house reef and a resident school of fish, putting the underwater world just beyond the shore.
Wander barefoot along a deserted beach where the only footprints are your own. This is a real-life Neverland for those seeking a break from the modern world.
This is our Robinson Crusoe-style once typhoon-wrecked island resort, where weathered timber and salt-streaked bamboo tell stories of resilience.
Chill on the beach, take shade under our bamboo architecture. Wake in an open-sided tuka, sunlight spilling through woven walls. Feel the rhythm of island life from the moment you open your eyes.
Camp Ngey Ngey has a secret sunset spot. And there are glorious sunrises here too.
Lazy afternoons drift into golden evenings at the beach bar, open all day for fresh coconut, cold beer and cocktails served with sea views and easy conversation.
This is where our famous hand-pulled noodles are made. Simple ingredients, island air and a little theatre. It’s comfort food, the Tao way.
