Nativ’ Exploration is an expedition agency based in El Nido which focuses on offering boat expeditions from El Nido to Coron in order to explore islands, underwater worlds and natural beauty. This agency was created more than 10 years ago so it has been operating boat expeditions for a long time now. Nativ’ Exploration is proposing a boat expedition which is different from other regular daily tours. The goal of this agency is to allow travelers to immerse themselves into local culture and to discover the daily life of islanders. Nativ’ Exploration will sail through remote villages and unspoiled islands during this 3 or 5 days boat expedition. They are in favor of smaller groups (up to 14 persons), some agencies can reach up to 30 persons plus on board. Nativ’ Exploration wants to offer a boat expedition which is more intimate in order to fit with sustainable tourism.
Live an authentic adventure during our boat expeditions
In order to let travelers experience a unique boat expedition adventure, Nativ’ Exploration will reach remote islands such as Linapacan. Often referred to as the clearest water in the world, Linapacan is a place a bit hard to reach since there is no public transportation. Boat expedition is definitely the perfect way to reach this island and discover some of the most beautiful beaches of the Philippines.
During a boat expedition, joiners will adopt the local way of life of Filipino inhabitants such as fishing, sleeping in nipa hut (local house), cooking and eating local dishes. Nativ’ Exploration will not pressure their traveler in terms of timing and they will favor slow tourism. The boat expedition is happening thanks to a local boat called a Banka powered by engines. The itinerary with Nativ’ Exploration Palawan is not fixed in order to be able to make every adventure different and to limit our footprint on the environment. During this boat expedition, travelers either sleep on remote beaches or villages, these places are mostly owned by locals since Linapacan is still preserved from mass tourism.

The boat expedition with Nativ’ Exploration is providing an experience to allow travelers to live for a couple of days far from the comfort of their house and experience the Filipino way of life. This is definitely a laid back life during this boat expedition.
