Snake Island, El Nido (Tour B) 4/16


Ahhh Snake Island, one of my super faves in El Nido.
If you adore sand bars like me, you'll go crazy for this one!



The island is named as such since the sand bar forms a curve similar to a snake.
It's also called Vigan island but I don't know the reason for that hehe




I'm not sure how long the sand bar is but it took me about 10 minutes to reach the opposite side.




The perfect moment to bask under the sun!






There's also a viewing deck at the top of the hill.
Don't worry, it's just a few steps up.. nothing serious!



Gorgeous view ❤❤❤

Cathedral + Cudugnon Cave, El Nido (Tour B) 4/16



Next stop after Pinagbuyutan is the Cathedral Cave.
We've also visited this before but you can only appreciate this area if you're on
a kayak or a small speedboat.


This is the entrance to the cave which unfortunately, I'd never know how the inside looks since our boat can't pass through --same situation on our first visit.



That being said, I recommend you just skip this if you're planning to do Tour B.
A bit of a downer since the only thing you get to do here is take photos by the entrance.



Then we headed straight to Cudugnon Cave which I think is much better than Cathedral.



We've also visited this before so we just decided to stay outside and beach bum haha




TBH, there's nothing amazing inside the cave anyway so just take artsy photos like this outside!

Pinagbuyutan Island, El Nido (Tour B) 4/16



I've actually done this tour the first time I went to El Nido years ago but our package tour combined Tours B & D so I had the pleasure to revisit some of the places included on Tour B.

This tour is all about caves and coves. 
It's not as action-packed as Tour C but nonetheless still worth visiting!




First stop for  Tour B was at Pinagbuyutan Island.
We didn't go here before so I was happy that this time I could see this beautiful island.



It was perfect! No crowds, calm waves, good weather -just us and the beach!



Like all the other beaches in Palawan, Pinagbuyutan boasts of a wide stretch of wide sand and turquoise waters. It's also good for snorkeling, so don't forget to bring your gear!



Spot my mom swimming while everyone else was cam-whoring hahahaha



This is certainly the #beachlife!

Helicopter Island, El Nido (Tour C) 4/16



The last destination in Tour C is Helicopter Island. 



It's also equally beautiful just like the others with its long stretch of white sand.



Clear, Turquoise waters surround the island -perfect for snorkeling or just beach bumming!



Oh, and in case you're wondering, it is named as such since the shape looks like a helicopter from an aerial view! 
Cool beans right? Though I'm not so sure how accurate the shape is haha



Look at that fine, powdery sand! 
excuse my shadow lol


Next up! Tours B & D ❤❤❤

Hidden Beach, El Nido (Tour C) 4/16


Finally, a new post after 2 months of hiatus! lol
As usual, got hit by the lazy bug and I just got really unmotivated to make a blog entry the past few months.
Anyway, I'm back now! hopefully, my renewed self (?) will last til the end of the year so I could continue with all the lagged posts waiting to be written!!




Starting off with the continuation of my long overdue El Nido trip!hahaha
This happened over 6 months ago so pls forgive me if I might forget some details of the trip =/



As you may or may not remember, my last entry was about the Coral Garden.
After that, we headed to the Hidden Beach which is one of my faves in this tour.



Same with the Secret Beach, Hidden Beach is concealed by some high rock formations so again the boat will dock a bit far and you have to swim/walk your way to the beach.
This is what makes Tour C amazing, it's quite an adventure reaching these beautiful places!




The beach is right behind those 2 huge cliffs on the left..



There you go.








The perfect spot!
You could see the path where we swam from the boat in the middle and the beach on the right side.



❤❤❤❤
