One of the main attractions of El Nido is to do an island-hopping boat tour and you can choose between four main itineraries. You will head off about 8.30am and won’t be back until about 4 or 5pm. It’s a fun day of riding across the ocean with 20 to 30 people per boat, plus a few other boats as well.
You will snorkel amongst corals and will see some really beautiful sea life, beaches and lagoons. To top it off, the Captain and his crew will cook up a feast of freshly-caught barbecued fish with salads and exotic fruits, and you’ll be able to enjoy lunch on an uninhabited island, which is just wonderful.
As most visitors come to El Nido to explore the nearby islands and snorkel in the clear waters, the town itself is very quiet during the day. But in the evening, El Nido really comes alive: there’s a great vibe and everyone is out mooching around the shops, eating, drinking, mingling, dancing and singing.
