Island Hopping in El Nido<br />

resort on Miniloc Island, and an airstrip at Villa Libertad on<br />

the mainland. In 1992, the company set up a second resort<br />

on Pangulasian Island, and in 1998, the third and largest Ten<br />

Knots resort on Lagen Island. The opening of the third resort<br />

coincided with the destruction of the Pangulasian Resort by<br />

fire. During this period several other tourism establishments<br />

were developed, paving the way for tourism to become a<br />

thriving economic sector.<br />

El Nido is a showcase of the Philippines’ geological and<br />

biological diversity. In recognition of the importance of its<br />

unique ecosystem, the Philippine government made the<br />

entire area of El Nido first to a turtle sanctuary in 1984, then<br />

to a marine reserve park in 1991,and finally in 1998, to that<br />

of a managed resource protected area.<br />

El Nido is amongst the best in the Philippines for Island<br />

hopping, with so many diverse islands, each unique in its<br />

own special way. Islands like Secret Lagoon where you can<br />

swim through the hole and this island lives up to its name<br />

as an experience to savor. The Large Lagoon in El Nido is a<br />

magical place. The pristine waters here are one of a kind color<br />

surrounded by tall rock formations. And is nothing short<br />

of breathtaking. A true tropical paradise. Secret beach is a<br />

pristine piece of sand hidden from sight by large limestone<br />

When the tides are<br />

right snake island<br />

has a thin strip of<br />

sand wiggling its<br />

way through the bay,<br />

pointing right at<br />

snake island.<br />

cliffs on all sides. Once<br />

inside it feels like you<br />

are the only people on<br />

the planet. Secret beach<br />

is one of the best things<br />

to see in El Nido hands<br />

down. A trip to hidden<br />

beach is accessible on<br />

selected El Nido tours<br />

Snake Island is another<br />

great example of the beauty of El Nido. What makes snake<br />

island so special isn’t necessarily the island itself, but the<br />

strip of sand leading up to it. When the tides are right snake<br />

island has a thin strip of sand wiggling its way through the<br />

bay, pointing right at snake island. No matter what Islands<br />

you visit, an Island Hopping tour is a must do when in El Nido<br />

and indulge in the island hopping activities like snorkeling,<br />

kayaking, paddle boarding, and don’t forget the camera to<br />

record the magic of this awesome adventure.<br />
