El Nido
From Island-Hopping to Adventure Sports
El Nido was once a quiet fishing village known mainly among divers for its rich marine life. Today, it is Palawan’s most popular destinations, attracting travellers from around the world with its spectacular islands, lagoons, beaches and clear waters.
At the heart of El Nido is the Bacuit Archipelago, a collection of limestone islands and islets scattered across the bay.
Many are uninhabited and can only be reached by boat, with beautiful beaches, hidden lagoons, coral reefs and excellent snorkelling spots.Island hopping is the main way to explore the area.
You can join one of the regular Tours A, B, C or D, or hire a private boat for a more flexible experience and to avoid travelling with larger groups.
There is plenty to do beyond island hopping, including diving, snorkelling, kayaking, hiking and ziplining. Depending on the season and location, you can also try surfing and kitesurfing, making El Nido a good choice for both relaxing beach holidays and more active trips.
