go on island hopping for only PHP 500. We took the tour A that the El Nido tourism association offers. The Tour, which starts at 9am and ends at 4pm, took us to the small and big lagoon and the island of simisu, and the beaches of entalula and commando. The tour includes lunch which is barbequed chicken, grilled fish, veggie salad, loads of rice, and bananas for dessert. Truly worth it!!!!

When you are in El Nido, the only thing you need to do is to go on Island Hopping with snorkling,swimming,relaxing to those islands that the boat will visit. Basically, you need at least 4 days stay in El Nido to visit most of the beautiful slands/spots. www.elnidotourism.com.
They have grouped the island hopping into A,B,C or customized on your own island hop. There are several boat operators you can visit with rates ranging from PhP 500-P900 per head depending on which tour group you will choose. Please clarify whether the lunch buffet is included as well as the mask/fins in the rates..It should be.. If your island hopp will be in Small/Big Lagoon, we recommend to take a kayak (~PhP 700/pax extra ) with the trip. Specially, if you have kids/teenagers. Usually, they separate the trip with kayaks and those who prefer just to snorkel.. Though, the boat will carry also drinks (separate to pay), its best you bring your own water. And if you can afford, bring a waterproof camera .(Canon D10 for us). This is important to document most of your pics in/out of water in a once in a lifetime shots..

Is a little farther on the island's coast. The crossing can be rough at times, but the contrast as you enter the lagoon's silent world is captivating. At is far end, accessible only by canoe or swimming, is an opening in the rocks that lead to even smaller and more enchanting lagoons imprisoned by immense cliffs.

Dennis our boatmen told the story about the Matinloc Island. It started all in the vision of the owner of Matinloc Island they received the vision over 20 years ago "To find the heart of my Son in Matinloc”. This vision led them to establish the Matinloc Shrine and retreat house in the island.

We try to climb the steps above the sunken gallery. At he top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Tapiutan Strait, and a chance to touch and feel the ruggedness of limestone cliffs.

This island has a beautiful white sand beach stretching to some 300 meters that is ideal for picnic lunches during island-hopping trips. There is an underwater tunnel at its nothern side and a fringing reef on its southern end. The island is also called Helicopter Island because its limestone cliffs resemble that of a helicopter when it is viewed from a considerable distance.
