Top Islands and Lagoons You Can Visit by Speedboat in El Nido

El Nido’s islands are grouped into the famous Tour A, B, C, and D packages. But with a speedboat, you can design your own itinerary and mix highlights from all four tours. This flexibility lets you make the most of your day on the water.

Some must-visit destinations include the Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon, both world-renowned for their crystal-clear waters and dramatic limestone walls. These lagoons are often crowded during group tours, but a speedboat lets you visit at off-peak hours.

You can also explore hidden beaches like Secret Beach, accessible only through a small crevice in the rock, or relax on Seven Commandos Beach, a long stretch of sand perfect for swimming. Snorkeling lovers will enjoy Shimizu Island and Cadlao Lagoon, where vibrant corals and marine life thrive.

The beauty of a speedboat tour is that you can also reach more remote destinations—tiny sandbars, secluded coves, and quiet snorkeling spots—that bigger boats skip. For those who want both the iconic sights and hidden gems, speedboats are unbeatable.
