What you can expect
Swim Beyond the Map — Discover Sibaltan’s Secret Islands
Skip the busy El Nido island-hopping routes and experience something different: a private snorkelling and island adventure in Sibaltan, a quiet coastal village on the eastern edge of Palawan. Here you’ll find clear waters, colourful reefs, and peaceful beaches — without the crowds.
What to Expect
Your journey begins in Sibaltan. Depending on your group size, we’ll arrange the right traditional wooden bangka boat:
Boat A: up to 2 guests
Boat B: up to 6 guests
Boat C: up to 16 guests
(Upgrades are also possible — just let us know in advance.)Our first stops are Maosanon Island and its beautiful Talisay Beach. At Little Maosanon, you’ll see two seas meet and enjoy a freshly cooked beachfront lunch. Vegetarian or vegan options are available if requested in advance.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit some of the best snorkelling spots in the area, including Binulbulan Island and the Coral Garden. These reefs are home to butterflyfish, starfish, clownfish, and many more species. With a bit of luck, you might also see a sea turtle, reef shark, or manta ray. While wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed, every stop offers vibrant corals and clear waters.
Between activities, you’ll have time to relax on quiet white-sand beaches and enjoy the slower pace of Sibaltan life.
