Top Things to do in El Nido
What to do and see in El Nido, Philippines: The Best Places and Tips
Why settle for a beachfront hotel when you can stay right over the ocean in a cottage on stilts? And why settle for any old dive site when you can snorkel in an orchid-walled lagoon? El Nido is known as the Philippines' last frontier, and if you're looking for magnificent beaches in an unspoiled setting, it's a perfect place for you to vacation.

This was our last stop of 5 on Tour A. It was overcrowded with tourists and it was a bumper kayak ride. Kayak rental options were small (3 people) for 400 pesos and large (5 people) for 600 pesos. The time there is about 45 min to 1 hr. There are lots of fish to see by the boat parking area by the rocks but heavy kayak traffic area too. There is a small entrance that opens up into the small lagoon. There are also little hidden entrances that you can explore and view the sky. These are tight spots so watch your head! We also had time to kayak to the beach after exploring the lagoon.

I failed to have my usual tour in El Nido which is the tour A. However, this beach has not failed me as it was truly beautiful and serene! The white beach is maintained. I was surprised that during my visit, no boats are by the beach. I think they don't allow those. Establishments are very few which is good for maintaining its cleanliness. I think there is only a time limit when you visit the place. You won't be able to stay for the night there.

The water was pretty high when we went to snake island so we couldn't see how it was a snake, but the views while swimming around snake island are something out of this world. the water is amazingingly clear and blue and you're out in the middle of the ocean between Islands and its just breathtaking. There is a tiny bar on snake island that offers drinks, but other than that there isn't anything here, but the views. One of the most beautiful places i've ever seen!! You can climb to the top of one of the Islands that is connected to snake island to see the shape of snake island and the beautiful views around it. The climb takes about 5 minutes and is very easy but does require some flip flops sinces its rocky.
8. Matinloc Island

We had a quick stop at Matinloc Shrine. It's beautiful and spiritual... do be careful when you climb the rocky outcrop to the viewpoint, it's worth it, but narrow and can get crowded. Good stop during our island hopping trip.
9. Hidden Beach

Jump from your boat, brave the strong waves at low tide and swim to what was once a tropical paradise.
So why would I rate this terrible? Because I think this place should have been left untouched. All the corals that once populated this hidden gem have been destroyed by tourists walking on them.
10. Las Cabanas Beach

Reviewed By Pelle D
It’s extremely beautiful but there’s also a lot of tourists. If you walk all the way around the corner where las Cabanas Beach resort is located and keep going a little bit, you get the Beach somewhat more to yourself, if you prefer that. Very Nice little piece of paradise.
