2 Morning Tours in the Philippines to Build a Day Around

1.El Nido Islands: Shared Paraw Sunrise Sailing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $35Our pick

Meet before dawn for a 1.5-hour shared paraw cruise across Bacuit Bay. Sail beneath the stars, watch first light reach El Nido’s limestone cliffs, and enjoy a quiet start with an English-speaking crew. Boats carry 5 to 8 people, and private sailing may be available for an added fee.

“You might think this experience is just about the sunrise, but it’s so much more than that. One of our favourite things was that the sailing began at the dead of night, allowing us to gaze at the stars while the crew navigated through the dark waters. As the first colors of dawn appeared, we continued to peacefully explore the bay. The unspoiled beauty of El Nido, free from crowds, was truly remarkable. The crew was very accomodating, friendly and professional. Highly recommend it!”
