October 28, 2022 - El Nido, Palawan, Philippines

Imagine this: You’re on a boat, the sun is shining, your favorite playlist is on, and your best people are with you — laughing, taking selfies, and pointing excitedly at another jaw-dropping island coming into view. Welcome to El Nido, Palawan — where every day feels like a scene from a tropical daydream.

Whether you're traveling with your family, your barkada, or both, El Nido gives you everything you need: stunning views, good food, clear blue waters, and all the chill vibes. The perfect way to experience it? A mix of Tour A and a breezy land tour. Trust us — it’s the combo you didn’t know you needed.


Tour A: The Island-Hopping Highlight Reel

Tour A is like El Nido’s greatest hits — all the must-see lagoons and beaches in one fun-packed day. You hop on a boat (bonus points if you get the front seat), and off you go across those famous turquoise waters.

What’s in store?

  • Kayaking through secret lagoons like an explorer on vacation

  • Snorkeling with fish who don’t mind photobombing your GoPro shots

  • Jumping off the boat just because you can

  • Chillin’ on powdery white sand with a fresh coconut in hand

Whether you’re all about adventure or just here to float and tan, Tour A has something for everyone — even the one in your group who always forgets their sunscreen (again).


Land Tour Vibes: Beaches, Views & Laid-Back Fun

Need a break from the boat life? The land tour’s got you covered. Grab your sunglasses and hop into a van or tricycle — it's road trip time, island-style.

You’ll hit:

  • Chill beaches where you can nap under a palm tree

  • Hidden waterfalls or lookout points that make you say “Let’s never leave”

  • Cute cafés and roadside stops for snacks, shakes, and surprise photo ops

  • Epic sunset spots that’ll have everyone posting “no filter” pics on the ‘Gram

The best part? You’re not in a rush. No schedules, no pressure. Just you, the road, and a whole lot of beautiful nature.


Why This Trip is a Total Win for Families & Friends

This isn’t just a vacation — it’s a vibe. And El Nido is the ultimate backdrop for bonding, laughing, and making memories you’ll be talking about forever.

  • Parents can relax, kids can explore

  • Friends can go full adventure mode, or full lazy beach bum mode — no judgment

  • Every meal feels like a feast, and every view is postcard-worthy

  • Group selfies = legendary

You’ll come back with sun-kissed skin, sand in your bag, and way too many inside jokes.


Pro Tips for Maximum Fun

  • Bring a waterproof pouch for your phone (because photos are a must)

  • Don’t overpack — you’ll be in swimwear most of the time anyway

  • Say yes to the kayak. Always.

  • Try the local snacks — banana cue, anyone?

  • Book with a reliable tour operator so all you need to do is show up and vibe


Ready to Go? El Nido’s Waiting!

El Nido is the kind of place that makes you forget about notifications, deadlines, and all the busy stuff. Whether you're jumping into lagoons, sharing snacks on the beach, or singing at the top of your lungs during a sunset ride back to town — it's all magic.

So grab your crew, pack your bags, and let El Nido do what it does best: turn ordinary days into epic adventures.


El Nido: come for the views, stay for the vibes.
