Day 10-12: Cebu - Culture and Adventure Next, fly to Cebu. Start by visiting the Magellan's Cross and Basilica Minore del Santo Niño to learn about Filipino history. Then, if you're an adrenaline junkie, get ready for some serious action-try Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls and swim in the stunning turquoise waters. On Day 12, go island hopping to Kawasan or Malapascua for some snorkeling or diving. Day 13-14: Boracay - Party and Relax Finish your two weeks in the iconic island of Boracay. Spend the first day just chilling on White Beach, famous for its powdery white sand and vibrant waters. On your second day, try some water activities like Parasailing or Kitesurfing.

Before this pandemic hit the world, I was able to explore and enjoy the crystal water of El Nido, Palawan. As part of the tour package, you can avail an island hopping and visit the hidden paradise of El Nido for just Php 1200 ($25) included on the tour package are the food, snorkel gears and environmental fees. No need to worries where to buy because upon landing at the airport their are a lot of people offering such tour packages. Exploring lime stones, sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, bird watching these are the activities you can enjoy. The food they offer was so delicious especially the seafoods. A piece of advice, if you have an allergic reaction with seafoods better to bring with you a medicine. This was my best trip happened in my 2020 where I was able to get my skin tanned. So delight yourself with all the fun water activities and discover the most diverse ecosystems found in the hidden beach and the towering limestone cliffs in El Nido Palawan. #besttrip #urbanexplorer #besttrip#urbanexplorer

Tour A, B, C & D are all visiting different islands and all tours are stunning.Stunning lagoons, movie-like islands, beautiful wildlife, it’s all in these tours. The two most visited spots in El Nido are the Small Lagoon and Big Lagoon of Miniloc Island, both used to be part of Tour A, which covers Miniloc Island. For the longest time, Tour A was the most popular island tour, attracting more tourists than all the other three by a mile. In effect, these sites are prone to overcrowding. To address the problem, in November 2018, the local government split the two apart and reassigned Small Lagoon to Tour D. Please note too that taking plastic bottles to the islands is not allowed. #MaydayTrip #urbanexplorer #HappyLaborday

Miniloc Island’s Small Lagoon is just one of the many unbelievably beautiful lagoons in El Nido, Palawan. Small Lagoon is not too intimidating, although it can still overwhelm, and is a welcoming sight for nature revelers.The Small Lagoon is a bit hidden. Unlike the Big Lagoon next door, which has a big open channel, the Small Lagoon can only be entered through a tiny crack in the limestone rock wall. It’s only possible to swim inside or enter with a kayak (make sure to duck your head it really is a tight entrance). This makes the Small Lagoon pretty special and it has a uique atmosphere inside the narrow lagoon.You would definitely enjoy kayaking here. #lightthecity #urbanexplorer

You’ve probably seen photographs of the stunning limestone formations around El Nido rising majestically above the turquoise water. It is one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines and for good reason, the nearby islands and beaches are absolutely stunning. So my partner and I decide to visit this amazing paradise to find out that it is indeed what many people says, where in fact it’s more than that and definitely exceeds our expectations. It was really an awesome trip and very worth it. I wish to comeback again here soon. #newphotographer#christmastrip#travelinspiration#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#instagramworthydestinations#couplestrip#awesomepic#wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

Very beautiful nature, rocks, extremely clean water and things that will fascinate you. We were on a tour there and we were fascinated by the beauty of it all. It may not change much, because some tourists do not conserve nature and throw away their trash, even where it is sad. The place is definitely worth it. #givethanks #givethanks

El Nido is one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are a lot of virgin white sand beaches, islands, lagoons and secret beaches and lagoons as well. Cristal clear water and unforgettable snorkeling are guaranteed! Better experience of living in heaven. Island hopping includes a few different types of tours, so you can try whatever you want. Maybe the best time of the tours is island lunch with mouthwatering local food, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and, of course, rice. Yummy and beautiful!

The Palawan Small Lagoon is especially suitable for drawing kayak, which is commonly known as the double rubber boat ~ Our boat stops outside the small lagoon and is replaced by a canoe. Since neither my grandmother nor my grandmother would slip, the two guides on the boat came to take us and help us. The so-called lagoon is the surrounding cliff, and the water is surrounded by silence. The sea outside is turbulent, and the small lagoon is quiet. The sea water reflects the rich blue layer due to the depth of the sea. The water is shallow and waist near the cliff. Some people learn to swim, some people snorkel and see the small fish, only hear the echo of laughter. In the water depth area, the color of the sea water shows a strong blue-green color, some like peacock feathers.

#beachlife What a beautiful little area! The boats will anchor and you can either swim or hire a kayak to get you to the small lagoon. It is a good swim if you are up for it. You then pass through a small arch in some rocks and arrive into a mini paradise. The lush green vegetation that spills from the limestone is just jaw dropping. Some areas as quite deep, so watch your phone etc. You don't need shoes for this area. There is also a little cave thats darkness is broken by sunlight streaming through a gap in the rocks above.
