Depart from El Nido and head to the Hidden Beach, one of El Nido’s most magical spots, tucked away behind towering limestone formations. The journey to this secluded haven is an adventure in itself, as your boat navigates through narrow rock passages to reveal a pristine white-sand beach.

Next, head to Calmong Island, a haven of tranquility. This small island features soft, powdery sands and is surrounded by shallow reefs, making it ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the beach, take a refreshing swim in the calm waters, or set up a picnic under the shade of swaying coconut palms.

Continue to Cadlao Lagoon, the tour’s centerpiece, located on Cadlao Island—the largest island in El Nido’s Bacuit Bay. Known for its breathtaking beauty, this lagoon is a sanctuary of turquoise waters framed by dramatic limestone cliffs covered in lush greenery.

Kayak through the calm waters to explore the lagoon’s hidden nooks and crannies. For the adventurous, snorkeling reveals an underwater world filled with vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. If relaxation is your goal, simply float in the lagoon’s crystal-clear waters and soak in the stunning scenery.

Next, head to Helicopter Island, officially known as Dilumacad Island, famous for its silhouette, which resembles a helicopter from a distance. This island is not only visually striking but also offers some of the best snorkeling and beach experiences in the area.

Snorkel around the island to discover vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, including clownfish, parrotfish, and sometimes even rays. The island’s long stretch of beach is perfect for sunbathing, beachcombing, or a leisurely swim.

Finally, head to Serenity Beach, a quiet and secluded beach that offers a sense of peace and relaxation that’s hard to find elsewhere. Take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, swim in the warm, inviting waters, or simply lay back and soak up the sun. As the day winds down, enjoy the stunning sunset views while sipping on a refreshing drink.
