Why Choose Green Gecko's
3-Day Expedition?
RELAX, RECHARGE, REJUVENATE: Green Gecko’s 3-day El Nido ⇆ Coron Expedition is structured around an entirely different philosophy.
We prefer a more relaxed travel schedule, allowing you to fully absorb the beauty of your surroundings while taking time to recharge and rejuvenate yourself. This slow, relaxed pace allows you to detoxify from all the stress of the outside world and social media.
Wake up and smell the fresh brewed coffee, as the crisp salt water breeze caresses your face and rejuvenates your senses. This relaxed pace reduces travel fatigue, while increasing your profound enjoyment, a trademark for our El Nido ⇆ Coron expedition, and we still visit 3 to 4 islands everyday.
Escape the Tourist Traps: As mentioned our hand crafted itinerary, selecting only the most precious islands, allows us to venture deep into the Linapacan Island Chain. We reach isolated islands that are off the beaten track, places that day tours can’t access. We voyage to desolate islands, hidden lagoons and pristine coral reefs. This commitment to adventure is why Green Geckos El Nido to Coron or Coron to El Nido Expedition is so unique and uncrowded.
Instead of rushing through all the islands, we relax so you’ll have more time to kayak, snorkel and truly Relax, Recharge and Rejuvenate. This approach transforms a simple boat ride into a genuine, immersive, amazing adventure…. Green Gecko’s 3 Day El Nido ⇆ Coron Expedition.
More Reasons to Choose Green Gecko for the 3 Day Adventure?
Not all tour operators are the same. We’ve built our reputation on relaxation, safety, expertise and comfort, for our El Nido ⇆ Coron Expedition.
Professional Safety Standards: Safety is Green Gecko’s priority . Our boats are all Coast Guard-certified, equipped with VHF radios, GPS, and advanced first-aid kits. Our ship’s captains are masters of the seas.
Small Group Experience: Through years of experience, Green Gecko’s preferred group size is 18 – 20 explorers. We find the smaller groups under 10 or 12 people can become quite fragmented as 3 or 4 couples make up the majority of the group usually, and they don’t assimilate as well as groups with a few more people.
The opposite can be said about groups of 25 to 40, which some companies have. For us, this is just too big and overwhelming and the loss of personalized service ensures that guests are less likely to be happy and content. Our preferred trip size is 18 or 20 people. This ensures a personal, engaging, and low-impact experience on your 3 Day El Nido to Coron expedition or Coron to El Nido. You will never feel like your just a number with Green Gecko.
Expert Licensed Guides: Our experienced licensed guides will share their local knowledge with you regarding the geography, topography, local culture and mix with the local indigenous Tagbanua Tribe. Our guides are not only educators they are also storytellers. Their knowledge will only increase your enjoyment throughout the 3 day trip. The guides help to transform your trip from a simple tour into an educational and cultural exchange.
Bamboo Beach Cottages: Our trips include rustic native beach cottages, mostly made from local bamboo. They are situated right on the beach. These cottages are based on double occupancy and include a comfortable foam mattress and mosquito net. Private one person cottages are available for 1000 pesos extra.
Superior Comfort and Cuisine: We use traditional Philippine bangkas on our trips from El Nido to Coron or Coron to El Nido. They are not the regular day-tour boats, as they are all required to go through major renovations to allow them to be licensed by the coast guard for the 3 day expedition. Our bangkas are designed for comfort, with both shaded, as well as sun tan areas to keep everyone happy.
Our chefs prepare amazingly delicious buffet meals featuring the amazing “catch of the day”, along with international as well as local Filipino foods. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are also available upon request. We include unlimited drinking water, coffee, and tea throughout your journey. Also free Jungle Juice (Rum / Pineapple) from 6pm – 10 pm.
