El Nido, at the northern tip of Palawan, is one of the most beautiful places in Southeast Asia. Dramatic limestone cliffs rise from turquoise water in Bacuit Bay, hiding lagoons, caves and white beaches.
Island hopping
El Nido's island-hopping tours, labeled A to D, visit the Big and Small Lagoons, the Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island and beaches like 7 Commandos. Kayaking into the lagoons, surrounded by cliffs, is unforgettable.
Town and beaches
El Nido town is small and walkable, with restaurants and bars facing the bay. Las Cabanas Beach is the spot for sunset, and Nacpan Beach, a long golden beach, is a scenic ride north.
