| The Experience

Not a route. A day of your choosing.

Lagoon Escape isn't a fixed island-hopping route. It's a day shaped around what you want to see — Bacuit Bay's lagoons, hidden coves, and limestone cliffs, visited at your own pace, aboard a vessel that belongs to no one else for the day.

Choose Your Own Bay

Up to five destinations, selected by you or curated by your guide — Bacuit Bay's most iconic lagoons and beaches, without the fixed-route feel of a shared tour.
