Private Busuanga Expedition

A Coron Palawan tour package offered with Tao’s unique hospitality

A three-day, two-night private voyage through the wild waters of Busuanga. Led by Tao’s legendary Lost Boys, this Coron Palawan tour package is a taste of real adventure and rare hospitality.

Go private

Departing from Coron, the Busuanga Express takes small groups of up to 24 through the scattered islands of northern Palawan. Every moment is rich, with coral gardens, remote basecamps and endless sea views. With the Lost Boys at the helm, your journey is guided by locals who know these waters like home. This Coron Palawan tour package is perfect for your next family gathering or group celebration.

Live it

Days are spent swimming in turquoise bays, snorkelling coral reefs and drifting between jungle-fringed islands. Each evening, you’ll dock at a Tao basecamp where you’ll sleep in open-air bamboo huts. With fires glowing, you’ll smell dinner grilling over coals. Expect simple comfort, warm company and food that tastes of the sea and sky.

The Tao spirit

More than a voyage, this private Busuanga tour package is a window into Tao’s world, where hospitality means generosity, laughter and community. The Lost Boys cook, guide and share their stories; you relax, explore and move with the rhythm of life lived close to nature. This is travel stripped back to what matters: connection, beauty and joy.

We’re passionate about food, serving native fruits and vegetables from our farm, freshly caught seafood and occasionally home-reared pork. Served family-style on sharing plates. Big on flavour Filipino food is soulful, generous, and seasonal.

Dive in! Jump overboard to snorkel vibrant coral reefs, swim to secluded beaches, or relax on deck with a book. The Tao Experience is a social gathering, but there’s always space to step back, disconnect, and find your own rhythm.
