Day 13 - Full day El Nido Tour B: Islands ,Cave and snorkeling

What makes Tour B especially enjoyable for every tourist visiting El Nido has to do with the variety of sites it will bring you to.  So let’s have a closer look to everyone of them and make a list of all the fun activities you will have during your day!

El Nido island hopping Tour B starts with the visit of Vigan island, commonly named “Snake island” because of its sandbar.  This site is pretty unique in the Bacuit archipelago, and there is not doubt that you will enjoy the feeling of walking in the middle of the sea!

Your journey will continue with Pinagbuyutan island, which is also known as Ellis island.  This island is mostly made of the famous limestone, which formed 125 millions years ago, but there is a beautiful beach on the side facing Malapacao island.  This is were we will stop, so you can relax on the beach, or jump into the water and enjoy some snorkeling!

Day 14 - Beaches in El Nido

There is a reason why so many people choose to take Tour C. It’s simply because it really is a great one! This is the island hopping tour locals will recommend you do in priority, along with Tour A.

Tour C starts with a stop on one of the most famous island of the Bacuit archipelago. Its traditional name is Dilumacad island, but it’s more commonly known as Helicopter island because of its shape – although, some think it looks more like a camel, a dolphin or even a dinosaur. You’ll have to see with your own eyes to decide which form it reminds you of the most!

After leaving Helicopter island and its beautiful white sand and rocky beach, we will land on Matinloc Shrine. This place used to host a convent and school which are now abandoned and that you can walk around. The island is now surrounded with legends and the word is that it is haunted with a ghost… Just ask and your guide will be happy to tell you more about this uncanny but charming place!

After lunch, you will be taken to three beaches: Secret Beach, Talisay Beach and Hidden Beach. We won’t tell you there everything about these places, to not spoil the discovery. But be assured that their names aren’t chosen randomly, and that you’ll be amazed by their remoteness and their calm beauty.
