Package Tour C – El Nido, Palawan

Package Tour C – El Nido, Palawan

It was early morning, the sun was up, and the weather was beautiful. It was a great time to do some island hopping. I can hear the sea was calling me. We walked from the Inn to the where the boats are docked. As we were walking, we passed many shops. There are many souvenir shops, resto, and remittances. There are also many shops offering island tours. We were looking for an ATM but unfortunately, there is none in El Nido. As we reached the shore, there were vendors also selling various souvenirs along the shore.

As we started our island tour, our friendly tour guide discussed the DO’s and DON’Ts in the island tours. We also prepared safety measures.

We first visited Helicopter Island. Why is it called like that? Because of its helicopter shaped which is clearly seen from afar.

As we were getting near the island, we were amazed by its crystal clear water. It was very blue and we were excited to get into the water.

The sands of there are white and fine. The Island really had awesome views.

The next island we stopped by is the Secret Beach. Why makes it secret? It is because the beach inside cannot be seen immediately from outside the island. You have to get before seeing it.

 

The view inside the secret beach is like the beaches in Thailand. So beautiful and amazing! We immediately took pictures with this wonderful place.

There are also many fishes in this island. Most of them take some bite with your legs. It doesn’t hurt unlike the piranhas do. Haha!

 

It was almost lunch time and so our tour guide decided to bring us to Talisay Beach for lunch. As we were getting close with Talisay Beach, we can see the stunning deep blue waters of it.

As we reached the island, we have seen another wonderful island. It has impeccable white sands and it is a great place to spend time and swim. I can only see this view in El Nido, Palawan.

Finally, it was lunch time! It was Time to fill our hunger. Our tour guides prepared these very sumptuous dishes. Yum! Yum! My eyes were drooling looking a theme!

Our next destination was the Hidden Beach. This is different from the Secret Beach. While the Secret Beach has a wide entrance, this one has a very small entrance. We had to pass through a small whole just to get in there. Then beach is covered with huge rocks but it is worth getting all the trouble in it. From the boat, we had to swimming to the entrance of it. You must be very careful in swimming to the hole. The water is deep and the current will keep on pulling you. You better have someone who is a great swimmer and can guide you going in the Hidden Beach. The beach inside is remarkable. It has fine white sands and some trees. We also saw many fish in there. You must check the tide before getting in and out or else you will be in jeopardy passing through the hole.

Our last destination is the Mantiloc Shrine. It used to be a church long ago and people use to attend mass there.  Walking to the shrine from the boat is very rocky so we had to be careful. There are religious sculptures there. It also has an underground where you will see many old photos. 

Behind the church is the beach. I spent time sitting there and feeling the wave of the water.

There is a great view of the sea and the islands above the shrine. We have to climb up at the rocks to reach the top. Seeing the view on top was breathtaking! So we took advantage of the taking photos of such superb view.

 

 

At the port of the shrine, it also has a magnificent view. We felt like we were in Jurassic Park and Then Land Before Time because of the view and its ambiance.
