Green Gecko's Amazing 3-Day El Nido to Coron Expedition - The Ultimate 3-Day Island Hopping Adventure
Green Gecko 3 Day Expeditions takes pride in its unique “not just your regular Expedition Company”, but rather a company with a different approach to sustainable tourism. Green Gecko Expeditions operates its 3-day El Nido to Coron Expedition with its own “travel philosophy”, providing the most exquisite island hopping experience for the guests, while making every effort to leave zero footprints in the sand, water, or coral.
Green Gecko Expeditions sets its sights on offering a different type of 3-day boat tour from El Nido to Coron or vice versa. Our 3-day boat cruise operates in harmony with both the environment and also interacts harmoniously with the local tribes, both the Tagbanua Tribe and to a lesser extent the Cuyonon Tribe.
For the extreme adventure enthusiasts or just someone who wants to sit and relax on the beach, Green Gecko’s 3-day El Nido to Coron Boat Cruise highlights one of the world’s most beautiful, natural, undisturbed virgin island chains, the Linapacan Island Chain. Catch these amazing islands while they are still relatively unknown, isolated, and underdeveloped. These islands remain undeveloped mainly because there is no public boat traveling between Coron, Linapacan, and El Nido.
The only way to visit these 3 amazing destinations is with a private boat excursion, either the 3-day expedition shared with a group of other like-minded travelers, or a fully Private Expedition for 3 to 5-days on a private boat. Yes, Green Gecko Expeditions does private tours at a very reasonable price. Should you wish a private expedition, please message us directly. We are known to have the cheapest private El Nido to Coron expeditions in Palawan. Some people question about the cost of the 3 Day Expedition. Is the Cost of the 3 Day Coron to El Nido or El Nido to Coron trip worth it? The simple answer is Yes. So book your tour now.
These islands keep their natural beauty with the help of the local Tagbanua Tribe, who strive to keep all the islands in their natural environment. The Tagbanua Tribe limits the amount of development to mostly sustainable natural material construction (ie, wood, bamboo, and stone), with only limited use of concrete for the environmentally protective toilets and septic tanks required by law. Please do not expect luxury Toilets with hot water showers and fluffy shower robes on this trip.
This is a raw, back-to-basics 3-day boat excursion, an adventure you will never forget. We give you a culturally rich, immersive, yet low environmental impact chance to see the last wild frontier of the Philippines. It’s the best 3-day expedition trip and always the highlight of everyone’s visit here to the Philippines. Expedition

IS GREEN GECKO'S 3 DAY EL NIDO TO CORON TRIP FOR YOU?
There is a reason why Green Gecko’s trips are called expeditions rather than tours. These trips are more rough and tumble, no-frills adventures best suited for travelers who hate crowded areas. It’s ideal for Eco-conscious travelers and people who love taking photos of untouched or unknown areas. This is an Instagrammer’s Paradise. Few people have ever heard of the Linapacan Island Chain, one of the nicest island chains in the world. The 3-day El Nido to Coron boat tour is well worth the price for the adventurous at heart. Check when the best time to visit and thake the 3 day tour?
Who shouldn’t take the tour? Well, as mentioned above, these tours are very basic. Sleeping in Bamboo Huts on the beach without Air-con and only a mosquito net doesn’t appeal to everyone. The toilets are plain and simple; some only have bucket showers, as the Tagbanua Group of Elders limits the amount of development on these islands to keep them in their natural state. In other words, if you need or require luxury, this trip is not for you.
Also, if you are prone to seasickness, there is medication that helps; just remember to take the medication before you get sick; it’s much more effective. If you’re still afraid of getting sick, please stay on land. For all the others who are not listed, this trip is for you. It’s the best deal for El Nido to Coron Expeditions, so make sure you reserve your date as most of our trips are fully booked months, weeks, or even months in advance.

The weather was nice, the crew was very funny, and we saw beautiful islands.
