resort on Miniloc Island, and an airstrip at Villa Libertad on
the mainland. In 1992, the company set up a second resort
on Pangulasian Island, and in 1998, the third and largest Ten
Knots resort on Lagen Island. The opening of the third resort
coincided with the destruction of the Pangulasian Resort by
fire. During this period several other tourism establishments
were developed, paving the way for tourism to become a
thriving economic sector.
El Nido is a showcase of the Philippines’ geological and
biological diversity. In recognition of the importance of its
unique ecosystem, the Philippine government made the
entire area of El Nido first to a turtle sanctuary in 1984, then
to a marine reserve park in 1991,and finally in 1998, to that
of a managed resource protected area.
El Nido is amongst the best in the Philippines for Island
hopping, with so many diverse islands, each unique in its
own special way. Islands like Secret Lagoon where you can
swim through the hole and this island lives up to its name
as an experience to savor. The Large Lagoon in El Nido is a
magical place. The pristine waters here are one of a kind color
surrounded by tall rock formations. And is nothing short
of breathtaking. A true tropical paradise. Secret beach is a

Snake Island is another
great example of the beauty of El Nido. What makes snake

strip of sand leading up to it. When the tides are right snake
island has a thin strip of sand wiggling its way through the
bay, pointing right at snake island. No matter what Islands
