Why El Nido
- Bacuit Archipelago island-hopping tours reveal some of the planet's most beautiful lagoons and beaches
- Dramatic limestone karst scenery unlike anywhere else in Southeast Asia
- Affordable island-hopping tours ($20–25/day including lunch)
El Nido is the crown jewel of Palawan and one of the most spectacular island-hopping destinations in the world. Towering limestone karsts rise from crystal-clear lagoons, and the Bacuit Archipelago's 45 islands offer hidden beaches, secret lagoons, and pristine coral reefs. The town itself is compact and walkable, with a solid backpacker infrastructure of hostels, dive shops, and beachfront bars.
