Daily Itinerary

Day 0

Welcome Aboard

Board Soniya in Boracay during the afternoon, settle into your cabin, and stow your kite equipment. We'll head ashore for dinner before returning to the yacht. During the night, the crew will sail the 40-mile downwind passage to Seco Island while you sleep.

Day 1

First Tracks at Seco

Wake to your first glimpse of Seco Island. After breakfast, we begin kitesurfing, spending the day exploring the island's legendary flat-water lagoons, crystal-clear water, and endless white sand before relaxing aboard at sunset.

Day 2

Explore Seco

A full day discovering everything Seco has to offer. Explore different riding areas around the island, from butter-flat lagoons to playful swell beyond the reef, with plenty of room to ride at your own pace.

Day 3

Endless Riding

Another full day on the water. Depending on the wind and tides, we'll move between the island's best kite spots, giving you the freedom to cruise, practise new tricks, or simply enjoy long, uninterrupted sessions.

Day 4

Final Sessions & Farewell Evening

Enjoy one last morning at Seco, kiting until late lunchtime before we set course for the sheltered waters off Panay. After dinner, celebrate an unforgettable week with drinks, music, and our famous onboard disco under the stars.

Day 5

Return to Boracay

Before sunrise, we quietly slip the anchor and begin the gentle motorsail north along Panay's spectacular west coast. Relax over breakfast as the coastline drifts by before arriving back in Boracay at around 4:00 pm.

Daily Itinerary

Day 1

Boracay to Libigao

Sail from Boracay to Libigao, arriving in time for lunch aboard Soniya. After lunch, rig your kites and head onto the water for your first afternoon session before settling in at our Libigao anchorage.

Day 2

Explore Libigao

A full day of kitesurfing at Libigao. At high tide we'll head into the Upper Lagoon — a huge flat-water playground with plenty of space to cruise, practise new tricks and explore.

Day 3

Kite & Sail to Nagubat

Launch your kite at Libigao as Soniya raises anchor and sails downwind towards Nagubat. Follow the yacht on an unforgettable three-mile island-to-island downwinder before spending the day exploring this little jewel of an island.

Day 4

Your Choice

Today is flexible. Stay and kite around Nagubat, return to Libigao, or — if conditions are right — enjoy another downwind run. Wind, tides and guest preference decide where the day takes us.

Day 5

Final Session & Boracay

Get up early for a final morning kite session, followed by breakfast and more time on the water. Around midday we set sail for Boracay, targeting a 4:00 pm arrival.

    Typical wind

An eight-day liveaboard kitesurfing safari through Palawan's limestone karst islands, sailing south from Coron Town through Manamoc to Nangalao during the Amihan season (roughly November to April) before returning north. The boat stays put once it reaches the main kite spots, so most days are about riding rather than travelling — long sessions, remote anchorages, and water almost no one else gets to kite.

Highlights

  • Up to 45+ hours of potential kitesurfing
  • Sails south from Coron Town through Manamoc to Nangalao
  • Two full days at Nangalao's exceptionally flat water
  • Sandy, knee-deep riding at Manamoc, good for progression
  • Turtles frequently seen around Manamoc
  • A flexible Day 7 — another full day's kiting or an easier final run home
  • Dramatic limestone karst scenery around Coron Island
  • Amihan season trade winds, 19-30+ knots

Daily Itinerary

Day 1

Coron to Coron Island

Meet in Coron Town at around 9:00am and board. After settling in, sail south through the limestone scenery around Coron Island and anchor off its southern side for the evening — a BBQ ashore where conditions allow, then sunset drinks and your first night aboard.

Day 2

Coron Island to Manamoc

An early start for the roughly 40-nautical-mile passage south to Manamoc, arriving after lunch for your first proper session. Manamoc has a large sandy riding area — a sandbar appears at lower tide, with waves further out on the reef — and turtles are frequently seen. Kite until sunset if conditions allow.

Day 3

Full Day at Manamoc

Soniya stays at anchor for a full day riding Manamoc's knee-deep, sandy-bottomed water — particularly good for progression and relaxed flat-water sessions, from early morning to sunset with breaks for meals.

Day 4

Manamoc to Nangalao

Kite Manamoc in the morning, then lift anchor around 1:00pm for the roughly four-hour passage to Nangalao (lunch served underway) — timed to work with the prevailing wind. Arrive in the afternoon, with a sunset session possible if light and wind allow.

Day 5

Nangalao

A full day at one of the safari's main riding spots — exceptionally flat water around the anchorage, a sandbar at morning low tide with deeper sandy water beside it, and local geography that can accelerate the wind. The dinghy stays on hand for safety throughout.

Day 6

Nangalao

A second full day at Nangalao, making the most of whatever conditions are best that day — flat water, stronger wind, or nearby wave riding. The Secret Island Kite Camp may also be operating in the area during some seasons.

Day 7

Flexible Day / Start of Return

Deliberately open: stay at Nangalao for another full day's kiting, or begin the return north and cover roughly half the distance back to Coron for a more relaxed final day — decided on the day based on wind, weather and what the group wants most.

Day 8

Return to Coron

Complete the return journey to Coron — a more leisurely morning if part of it was covered on Day 7, otherwise an early departure for the full passage. Arrival back in Coron Town around 4:00pm.
