Hello there! 
Have you watched our videos about our Tour in Puerto Princesa

El Nido, Palawan

If not, then just check my YouTube Channel. However, if you did, then here I am again would like to astonish you with our wonderful Island Hopping here at El Nido, Palawan. 


You can copy our strategies to make every minute of your stay at El Nido worthwhile. Either way, make a better plan!

Just because we don't want to miss a single second here at El Nido, we have chosen to go for a Private Tour instead of the Shared/Public Tour.

Why? So that we can manage our time by ourselves. We don't need to be dependent or controlled by other groups on the boat. In this way,  we can go to our preferred places, we can avoid so much crowd, and we can stay longer at certain places not just those fixed lists in the Tour Packages offered by those local agents.

So we selected Tour Package A combined with Tour Package C! We have deselected the Secret Lagoon (Miniloc Island) from Tour Package A because according to the locals it is just like the Puerto Princesa Underground River. So, to avoid duplication of such scenery since we've been in Puerto Princesa already, we replaced Secret Lagoon into Helicopter Island from Tour Package C. This explains the advantage of a Private Tour wherein you can change or mix up a list of places in your Tour Package.

BTW, (take note!) if you are just simply asking from Local Travel Agents, their first recommendation is certainly either Tour A or Tour C.

Okay, let's tour on our selected Package, a combination of Tour A & Tour C:
  • Small Lagoon (Tour A)
  • Big Lagoon (Tour A)
  • Shimizu Island (Tour A)
  • Seven Commando Beach (Tour A)
  • Helicopter Island/Dilumacad (Tour C)
Helicopter Island (Dilumacad)
It's exciting to dive at Helicopter Island, where there is a very wide variety of marine life and unique collection of corals.

Small Lagoon or Big Lagoon
It's amazing to swim and snorkel on its clearwater along with numerous fishes…

Seven Commando Beach
We stayed longer on this beach because of many things to offer on its long white sand beach and mini-bar serving refreshing drinks. While my other friends were playing basketball and volleyball, I was enjoying snorkeling and hoping my luck to encounter sea turtles. Well, I joined playing volleyball near the mini-bar when I was tired of searching for sea turtles.
