Frontier
Voyage

Palawan's most secluded waters

| The Experience

Far from the routes
everyone else sails.

A private sailing expedition through Palawan's most secluded waters — hidden lagoons, limestone cliffs, and anchorages few travelers ever reach. Aboard CILYC's private trimaran, the passage between El Nido and Coron becomes the destination itself — the voyage carries the same weight as the places it leads to.
