Yes! On our private tours there is purified drinking water and soft drinks available.
The lagoon users' fee is applicable to all guests visiting the Small Lagoon or Big Lagoon here in El Nido. This is 200 PHP per person - but don't worry! It's included in the price.
These are optional however we do recommend bringing some along. Many of the beaches have rocky shorelines, limestone and coral underfoot. Aqua shoes give you extra grip, protect your feet and let you explore more confidently so you can focus on enjoying every stop of the adventure.
In the Big, Small and Cadlao Lagoon, kayaks are the only way to fully explore beyond the main entry points. Boats are not allowed inside the lagoons to protect the eco-systems and avoid congestion - so renting a kayak lets you paddle through narrow limestone passages, hidden corners, and quieter spots that larger boats simply cannot reach.
Kayak rental isn't included in the tours because it's managed separately at each lagoon by local operators. This system helps control the number of kayaks inside at any one time, supports the local community directly, and gives guests the flexibility to choose whether they want to rent one or just swim and relax nearby.
The ETDF (Eco-Tourism Development Fee) in El Nido is a mandatory environmental fee that helps protect and maintain the natural sites you visit during island hopping.
Once paid, you'll be given your receipt and this is valid for 5 days.
The ETDF is not included in the price of the tour because it is a government-mandated fee that is collected separately and remitted directly to the local government in El Nido. It is also valid for 5 days, so if you took part in multiple tours you won't be charged multiple times for a fee you've already paid.
