El Nido Environmental Fee

It's a one-time fee valid for 10 days. You pay it once, and it covers you for any tours or activities in El Nido during that 10-day window.
So using your example: if you're doing Tour A and Tour B, you only pay the Eco Tourism Development Fee (ETDF) once — on the day of your first tour (Tour A). When you go out for Tour B afterward, you don't pay it again, as long as it's within those 10 days.

What gear should I bring?

To make the most of your island-hopping experience, we recommend bringing the following items:
Dry Bag – Essential for keeping your personal belongings, phone, and other valuables protected from water during the boat trip and island stops.
Water Shoes – Strongly recommended, as some beach entrances may have sharp coral, rocks, or limestone formations. Water shoes are available for rent.
Snorkeling Gear – Bring your own snorkel mask if you have one. If not, snorkeling equipment can be rented locally.
Sunscreen & Rash Guard – Sun exposure can be intense during the day, especially while on the boat. A rash guard and reef-safe sunscreen are highly recommended for sun protection.
