El Nido Philippines has over 50 beaches to discover, also find enchanting lagoons with tranquil turquoise-green water, caves that can take you to hidden beaches, and a very diverse variety of wildlife. Explore remote
beaches and snorkelling hidden lagoons, island-hopping through the
crystal-clear waters of El Nido's rich marine sanctuary.
The limestone cliffs of El Nido were naturally carved out of extensive and thick layers of coralline deposits. They formed 250 million years ago in the shallow sea covering the area that North Vietnam and South China now occupy.
I explore the Big and Small Lagoon’s tranquil turquoise-green waters of its orchid-lined limestone walls showcase a kaleidoscope of marine life.
Scientists believe that these lagoons were actually caves which abound in these islands. The roofs of these caves must have collapsed millions of years ago, and these lagoons have emerged in their stead.
I also explore the caves which are naturally formed. Stalagmites and stalactites are beautiful with its crystal clear colour.

Son plus de plaisir dans les Philippines en raison de El Nido !
Way Point:
By Air:
The fastest and best way to go to El Nido is from Manila. Try catching a plane flight from the Island Transvoyager Inc. They have daily flights using a Dornier 228 aircraft that is capable to seat 19 people. The travel time from pale is only an hour and thirty minutes. You will land directly at El Nido’s airport. From Manila, Puerto Princesa destination is another option.
From Puerto Princesa by Bus or Van - By bus costs P350 and by van is P500. The bus will take about 8 hours while a van will take about seven hours. The van is air-conditioned and the bus is not. All vehicles traveling to El Nido from Puerto Princesa will leave from the San Jose bus terminal, about 7km from the airport. Vans and buses leave about the same time. The Eulen Joy Liner bus leaves both Puerto and El Nido at 5am, 7am and 8:54am daily.
The road journey will take you through two major towns, Roxas and Taytay. The road from Puerto Princesa to Roxas is very good by Philippine standards, and the first leg of the journey, which is about 145km, will take about 2hours. Roxas is a town of no consequence.
The road between Roxas and Taytay is about 80km long and there is a lot of road construction at the moment. Much of this road is in very bad condition and during the wet season, vans and buses regularly get stuck. The approach to Taytay is very picturesque.
The road from Taytay to El Nido is mostly gravel but it is in fair condition. The distance is about 70km and should take one and a half to two hours. When the road is dry the dust is truly horrid. There are some beautiful views over the ocean as you get closer to El Nido but they will be difficult to appreciate when you are in a vehicle that is not going to stop. About 2km before El Nido you will pass through Corong Corong where the views fantastic. The final decent into El Nido is a treat.
