North El Nido is the setting for a five to six hour Honda CRF ride of about 110 km, aimed at riders with little or no experience. If you need it, we fold clutch and balance basics into the route as you move between beaches, rice fields and overlooks. Guides stay with you on mixed terrain so you can take in the coast without rushing the next turn.
The line starts inland at Dewil ATV Park and Villa Paz riverbed, then climbs to Sibaltan Viewpoint and Sibaltan Beach. San Fernando Viewpoint and the Amihan stretch follow, with Teneguiban and Ligad Beach on the east-facing coast.
Verde Safari Diapela and Duli Viewpoint close the day. You cover a mix of dirt, village track and short sand links rather than a tarmac sightseeing loop, at a pace meant for first-time riders as much as for people who already sit a bike.
North El Nido is a string of limestone islands, farm valleys and east-facing beaches that most visitors only reach by boat. From Lio the dirt and village roads run toward Dewil, Sibaltan, Ligad and Duli, with rice paddies and overlooks sitting between the settlements.
You start at Kalye Artisano on Lio Estate in Villa Libertad, the garage used for this beginner day. The riding stays inside El Nido municipality, so you are looking at local coast and farmland rather than heading south toward Port Barton.
Little or no riding experience is welcome. If you have never used a clutch, say so when you book and we will build the basics into the first hours instead of sending you straight onto loose climbs. You should still be fit enough for five to six hours on a dirt bike in heat, with stops at beaches and viewpoints.
Bring bottled water or a refillable bottle, plus snacks, trousers and long socks. Pack flip flops or slides and a compact towel if you hope to swim. Riders over 100 kg or 192 cm should ask for a CRF 300L before the date so we can hold the right bike.
This is the day we use to show the north of El Nido to people who are new to dirt bikes. Beaches, rice fields and overlooks sit on the same loop, and the guide can slow the pace or add clutch work without turning the outing into a yard lesson.
Groups stay between one and six so nobody gets left on a climb. You ride a Honda CRF we keep for this terrain, on a line of named pins we have used for years, and you can step up to a harder tour later if the day feels easy.
After you meet at Kalye Artisano, the first block is Dewil ATV Park and Villa Paz riverbed. This is farm track, paddy edge and shallow water, which is a gentle place to settle on the clutch before the coast opens up.
The ground here is mixed rather than technical. We use it to see how you sit the bike, then move on toward Sibaltan once everyone is comfortable rolling.
Sibaltan Viewpoint and Sibaltan Beach sit next, with mangrove and sand after the inland stretch. San Fernando Viewpoint follows, which is one of the east-facing looks most visitors only see from a boat.
Amihan and Teneguiban keep you on village track and coast. The pace stays beginner-friendly, with time to stop where the view is worth it rather than pushing for enduro lines.
Ligad Beach and Verde Safari Diapela come late in the day, then the climb toward Duli Viewpoint. These are the last overlooks on the north line, still reached on dirt and village track rather than a highway run home.
You finish after five to six hours and about 110 km. The named order can flex with the group, but you still get the same mix of beach, paddy and viewpoint that this beginner day is built around.
Yes. The day is written for riders with little or no experience, including people who have barely used a clutch. If you need it, we fold the basics of balance, gears and stopping into the route rather than running a classroom first.
You still need to be happy sitting on a dirt bike for five to six hours in heat. If you already ride dirt well and want a harder line, the intermediate off-road day or the advanced enduro tour will suit you better.
Plan on five to six hours and about 110 km. That covers the named pins from Dewil ATV Park through to Duli Viewpoint, with time at beaches, rice fields and overlooks, not six hours of continuous riding.
Stops happen where the views or the group need them. Eat before you arrive and carry water you can reach on the bike, because meals are not included on this day.
Honda CRF 150L and Honda CRF 300L are the two machines on this tour. The 150L is the default bike. If you are over 100 kg or 192 cm, ask us for the 300L before you book so we can hold one.
Both bikes are dirt machines we use on this north El Nido line. Say which model you want when you reserve, because live availability sits in the booking system.
Meet at Kalye Artisano, Lio Estate, Villa Libertad, El Nido, 5313. That is the garage pin for this beginner day, the same strip used for the intermediate off-road tour, and a different point from Airport Road on the enduro day.
There is no airport pickup on this tour. Make your own way to Lio in time for the start, and do not assume you are being collected from the terminal.
Pack bottled water or a refillable bottle, plus snacks, trousers and long socks. Water can be bought at the garage if you arrive without a bottle, but you still need something you can carry once you leave.
If you hope to swim, add flip flops or slides and a compact towel. Bring your own helmet and boots if you already have a set that fits. We provide the bike; kit beyond that travels with you.
Only if you need them. Basics of the clutch, balance and stopping can be taught on the route as you ride toward the first viewpoints. We do not run a separate lesson block before every group, so tell us when you book if you are starting from zero.
The aim is still a scenic day, not a certification course. Once you are moving safely, the focus stays on beaches, rice fields and overlooks rather than drills in a yard.
Groups run from one rider up to six. That keeps the guide close enough to help with the clutch and to hold a pace that works for mixed experience.
Solo riders are welcome. If you are booking with friends who ride at different levels, tell us so we can keep the day on the scenic line rather than pushing toward off-road terrain.
Beaches and riverbed sit on the named list, so a swim can happen if the group and the ground allow it. It is not a guaranteed swim tour, so treat water time as a bonus rather than the reason to book.
Bring flip flops or slides and a compact towel if you want to get in. Keep a dry bag for phones, because those stay in your own pack.
We strongly recommend the Honda CRF 300L if you are over 100 kg or 192 cm. The 150L is the default bike, but the larger machine is the better match for that height and weight on loose ground.
Contact us before you book so we can check a 300L is free on your date. You can ask us to hold one ahead of time rather than hoping one is left on the morning.
No. Meals and drinks sit outside this day, so eat before you arrive and carry snacks you can reach on the bike.
Bottled water or a refillable bottle still needs to travel with you once you leave the garage. Water can be bought there if you arrive without a bottle, but you should not count on a sit-down lunch being part of the tour.
About the centre
El Nido
We'll take you off the beaten path on Palawan, from our home base in El Nido near the northern tip of the island down through Port Barton, San Vicente, and the trails most visitors never reach. Whether you're just learning the clutch or you've been riding for years, we shape the day around your level so you can focus on the views, the beaches, and the jungle tracks.
Our team has been exploring these roads for over a decade. You'll ride well-maintained dirt bikes with an experienced guide, and on multi-day trips a mechanic and support driver stay with the group. Evenings are at comfortable stays we've already scouted, and you can unwind with locally roasted coffee at the cafe when you're back in El Nido.
