El Nido is such a majestic place that incites the innermost of your soul, especially the spectacular Bacuit Bay. Island hopping from one destination to the other provides awe and ohhs' with the various shapes of the jade islands dotting the emerald blue waters and towering karst cliffs that rival the cathedrals of Europe. You can find no similarity of... More

I really enjoyed our island hopping tours. We chose the popular Tours A and C. I did not enjoy Tour A that much. Not much of snorkeling to do. Dead corals means no fish. The islands set for this tour are just good for beach bumming, swimming and sunbathing. Tour C I enjoyed more because there are better snorkeling spots.... More

That is the thing to do in El Nido: island/lagoon/beaches hopping with one of the local operators. There are 4 tours, the best are appartently tour A and C. They are awesome, the scenery is so beautifu!! Snorekeling is quite nice as well. If you have been to Halong Bay in Vietnam this might be your next highlight.

The guide took great pains to make sure that my non swimming wife was always safe- and happy ! The boat operator [ Miguel?] was very professional and very safety conscious. I cant... More

We arrived in El Nido from Coron on "Ride the Joe" (which we definitely recommend - plenty of food, TWO motors - useful if one breaks down, nice staff) We stayed at some AWESOME beach cottages called Hadefe's (no website for him) and booked our two island hopping tours through the owner. Hadefe's is a great little family run cottage... More

Most people use el nido as a base for island hopping day trips... but there's one company who does the same thing but over 5 days! The company is Tao Philippines and the trip is literally the best thing I've done in my entire life! Imagine paradise, with added culture, and the best food you've ever eaten. The exceptional staff... More

When you are in El Nido there are many tour agencies selling the same packaged day tours (They call them Tour A, Tour B, Tour C and Tour D). The prices are generally the same at every tour agency (wherever you choose to book, check to make sure yours includes lunch, we saw other people on different tours who were... More
