The standard 4D3N loop the good operators run: overland to Rio Tuba, cross to Balabac, then three days of sandbars and islands most maps don't bother naming.

Routes flex with weather and permissions; Onuk in particular is a privilege, not a guarantee. Trust the crew's calls; they're reading swell you can't see.

Pack like there are no shops, because there are no shops: cash, power banks, reef-safe sunscreen, dry bags, and any medication you need. Waterproof everything; the crossings are wet.
