El Nido and Puerto Princesa Underground River Itinerary 8 days

Post a Comment |

During the last week of November to first week of December, I traveled back to Palawan to revisit Puerto Princesa Underground River and El Nido found at the northern half of the mainland. During the first half of the trip, I traveled with my travel mates. We hired a travel agency (packaged tour) to take us to the PP Underground River and then three full days of beach/island hopping tours in El Nido.

On the second half of my 8-day itinerary in Northern Palawan, I traveled solo (DIY) in El Nido town proper and then back to Puerto Princesa to kick start my exploration of Tabon Caves in Southern Palawan.

Entalula Island Lunch and fish feeding at Shimizu in El Nido

2 Comments |

Shimizu Island in El Nido, Palawan took me by surprise the first time I laid my eyes on its captivating beauty. It’s probably the most gorgeously surreal island in Bacuit Bay off the coast of El Nido.

Imagine a small white sand beach pocket sandwiched between two sentinel-like limestone cliffs that are bridged by a curtain of deep forest. Emerald green waters surround the island. Underwater, the sightings of colorful corals and diverse marine creatures are equally impressive.

Beautiful Lagoons of Miniloc Island in El Nido, Palawan

1 Comment |

We finally set off to see the islands of Bacuit Bay in El Nido. The morning was shrouded by thick clouds hovering over the beautiful seascapes. Perfect clear blue skies didn’t greet us that day but we weren’t bothered because El Nido was beautiful under any light. If anything, it added to the exotic allure of the islands.

Packed and ready to go, we started walking towards our pumpboat service at around 9am.  We had to wade through (mostly) ankle deep water for around 200 meters or so because the tide was too low for the boat to dock directly in front of Hadefe’s Beach Cottages, the resort where we spent the first two nights in El Nido.

Breakfast at Calaan Beach. Planning an epic 3-day El Nido Island Tour

11 Comments |

It was finally time to see the beauty of El Nido, Palawan under daylight. Staying at Calaan Beach, a small cove north of the town proper, afforded us an open uncrowded view of Bacuit Bay.

Come sunrise, we woke up to a beautiful sight of cloudy skies hovering over the calm coast, limestone cliffs, and forested islands of Bacuit Bay. El Nido never failed to amaze me.
