EL NIDO TOUR B – CAVE TOUR
El Nido Tour B is sometimes called the “Cave Tour” as it gives visitors a chance to go spelunking in the Cudugnon Cave and the Cathedral Cave.
The first stop is Snake Island, a popular beach destination named after the snake-like resemblance of the 3-kilometer-long sandbar that connects the island to mainland Palawan. The island is great for swimming, beach bumming, and sightseeing. Visitors can also hike to the top of the hill, where a small shed is situated, and get a panoramic view of the island and nearby El Nido islands.
Next are the relaxing shallow waters and powdery white sands of Entalula Beach and the peaceful Pinagbuyutan Island with its dramatic cliffs and lush foliage. The main attraction of this tour is the historical Cudugnon Cave, a former Neolithic burial site that dates back to 960 and 1279 A.D., and the hidden Cathedral Cave, its stalactites, and stalagmite formations like pillars and candelabrums found in a cathedral.

EL NIDO TOUR C – HELICOPTER ISLAND AND MATINLOC SHRINE TOUR
El Nido Tour C is ideal for beach lovers, taking visitors to white sand beaches with crystal waters and looming limestone cliffs. The tour starts from Hidden Beach, a shallow waterway surrounded by rugged limestone rock formations and sandy beach, before heading to Secret Beach, a secluded spot accessible only by swimming from the mouth of the cavern through a narrow slit. The waves to enter Secret Beach can be difficult to wade through, but the tour guide should be waiting on the other side.
Matinloc Shrine, also known as the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the next stop, where visitors can hike to a small view deck to get an overlooking view of the sea. The main feature of the trip is Helicopter Island, aptly named for its rock formations that resemble a helicopter. The island has its fair share of dramatic limestone cliffs and lush foliage, just like the other islands in El Nido. Often the tour’s last stop, the mountain part that looks like a helicopter’s tail rotor blocks off the afternoon sun, providing shade to a white sand beach where visitors can rest after a full day of island hopping.
