Going to El Nido is one of my bucket list. I followed some travel bloggers and every time they visit my country, Philippines, they would always visit El Nido. I am really amazed how beautiful those places are and I promise to myself that I will explore its beauty.

And I really did. Actually, I just visited El Nido last March. It's really worth the hype. It's very beautiful. Pictures can't even capture its real beauty.

El Nido have four tour packages: Tour A, Tour B, Tour C and Tour D.

Tour A is one of the best and most popular island hopping tours in El Nido.

Here are the list of Tour A inclusion:

1. 7 Commandos Beach

For our tour, this is our first stop which good actually. This a good warm up for us before we explore the other gem of El Nido, which involve a lot of physical activities like kayaking, crawling on rocks and swimming.

A little bit of trivia this is where 7 Japanese commandos lived for a period of time near the end of WWII.

From afar you could already see the white sand of the island and the swaying coconut trees. There is cottages on the beach that everyone can use for free.

2. Small Lagoon

You can reach small lagoon from your boat thru swimming or kayaking. The water of the small Lagoon is tranquil turquoise green in color, it's very clear and even dazzles under the sun. The place is surrounded by big limestone cliffs, having greeneries growing on them, which stand againts the greys.

3. Big Lagoon

Big Lagoon is best known for its picturesque entrance. The water here is a one of a kind color surrounded by tall rock formations. It’s nothing short of breathtaking. It’s paradise!

4. Snorkling Area

On Tour A you can choose either Shimizu Island or Snorkling Area but in our tour we have Snorkling Area which is also breathtaking. You can see many sea creatures, but sadly I wasn't able to take some photos because the battery of our go pro was already drained.

5. Secret Lagoon

To get to the Secret Lagoon you have to crawl through a hole. You will be welcome by this small enclosed lagoon surrounded by limestones. It was quite an experienced. You should wear an aqua shoes if you are going to visit this place.

Overall, I will definitely visit this place again. You will never get enough by the beauty of El Nido. It is really a paradise.
