isolation that attracts and fascinates most travelers to El Nido.
The 45 islands and islets and the surrounding sea present
endless opportunities for adventure, nature appreciation, and
even just simple pleasures.
Walk, Trek, and Climb
The trails around El Nido are every much like its roads: rough
and dirty. But the views and wildlife one sees along the way
are well worth the trouble. We recommend you bring lots of
water on these long jaunts, because water stations are really,
really hard to find. And as with the rest of the islands, the sun
is intense, even among the relatively cool shade of the forests,
so sun block is a must. You might want to add some insect repellant too.

Snorkel, Swim, and Dive Pump boats are readily available to take you around to the covers and lagoons that abound in and around El Nido. Miniloc is a great place for snorkeling, and you'll enjoy getting up close and personal with schools of fish right off shore. Kayak around the Big and Small Lagoons and come back with memories of orchid line cliffs and a kaleidoscope of marine life lining the dreams of your afternoon siestas. Dive boats abound and you can get one for US$25-35, inclusive of two dives, a dive master, and basic dive equipment. There are numerous dive shops that are more than willing to point you to the best dive sites around. You don't need to be an experienced diver to get a taste of the rich display of fish and coral that you can find in the waters of El Nido. |
