Buhay Isla | El Nido ⇄ Coron Multi-Day Expeditions

The "Buhay Isla" Experience

Buhay Isla's Expedition Trilogy Experience

“Expect the Unexpected!” Set sail on our El Nido ⇄ Coron Multi-Day Boat Expeditions (one-way direction) aboard a traditional bangka boat. Along the way, we’ll drift through hidden beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and explore secret caves that few ever get to see.

By day, chase sunrises and soak in golden sunsets. By night, camp under starlit skies with the ocean breeze as your lullaby. We provide everything you need — from camping gear to hearty meals — so all you have to do is live in the moment, embrace the simplicity of island life, and go with the flow… no agendas, no timetables.

Voyager’s Sunrise (3D2N)

Chasing first light across hidden shores.

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.

Seeker’s Realm (4D3N)

A world of discovery across Palawan’s hidden gems.

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.

Nomad’s Odyssey (5D4N)

The ultimate journey into Palawan’s wild frontiers.

The ultimate journey into Palawan’s wild frontiers. 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 food, music, and shared work, and strip life down to its essentials for renewal in the wild.
