Simplify. Rejuvenate. Discover yourself. Join us on a multi-day expedition by traditional bangka boat as we journey between El Nido and Coron. Along the way, we’ll hop between remote islands, swim through hidden caves, and discover beaches you won’t find on any map. Wake up to colorful sunrises, unwind with golden sunsets, and let the rhythm of the sea set the pace. With everything you need on board, you’re free to explore, connect, and simply go with the flow — no agendas, no timetables, just pure island adventure.
The first step into the island way of life. A short yet unforgettable adventure where you learn to expect the unexpected, simplify your days, and wake to sunrises that rejuvenate your spirit. Along the way, you’ll glimpse the rhythms of island life and share moments with local boat crews and fishermen.
For the curious traveler who longs for more than a holiday. Days of snorkeling, sailing, and starlit nights invite you to go with the flow, embrace nature’s rhythm, and begin a gentle journey of soul searching. You’ll also take part in small acts of cultural exchange — learning local stories, traditions, and ways of living by the sea.
A deep dive into back to basics living. Cook with your crew, visit fishing villages, and immerse in untamed islands. This is where you truly connect with the locals, join in cultural exchange through adventure, food, music, and strip life down to its essentials for renewal in the wild.
