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

Who it's for

You'll need to be able to ride independently already — this is a kite safari, not a learn-to-kite course. Coaching on board helps you progress.

Manamoc's knee-deep, sandy water is particularly good for progression.

Day by Day

Daily Itinerary

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

Wind, tides and weather decide the final plan each day.
