Home / Balabac tours
We run all-inclusive Balabac island expeditions from Puerto Princesa, as either joiner departures or private charters. Two routes are available: the 4-day Balabac Expedition and the 3-day Essential Balabac. Both camp at our own beachfront site on Punta Sebaring and both include a visit to Onok Island.
Choose your Balabac tour
Joiner or private?
A joiner departure is a shared scheduled trip where you buy seats per person and travel with other travellers, which spreads the fixed boat and crew costs. A private charter reserves the whole boat and campsite for your group only. Message us for current joiner and private rates for your dates.
