Pinagbuyutan Island

Start your tour by boarding your tour boat and getting ready for some island hopping. You'll visit Snake Island, which got its name from its constantly changing sandbars. Snake Island is a well-known photo spot for tourists. Next, discover Popolkan Island with its abundant marine life and rich reefs and enjoy some snorkeling or swimming in crystal blue waters. Then, listen to stories about World War 2 at Cudognong Cave where Japanese soldiers often hid. Other tour highlights include Cathedral Cave and Entalula Island, famous for its white sand beach. At the end of your tour, you'll be dropped back off at the same starting point.

1. Entalula Beach: A picturesque stretch of white sand beach, Entalula offers a serene ambiance, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The beach is embraced by towering limestone cliffs, giving it a secluded feel. Here, visitors can bask in the sun, snorkel in the clear blue waters, or simply lounge on the beach and enjoy the stunning seascape. 2. Snake Island: Named for its unique S-shaped sandbar that emerges during low tide, Snake Island is a sight to behold. This natural wonder connects the island to the mainland, allowing visitors to walk along the sandbar. The view from the island's hilltop offers a panoramic scene of the Bacuit Bay, making it a favorite spot for photo enthusiasts. 3. Cudugnon Cave: Steeped in history and legend, Cudugnon Cave is believed to have been a burial site thousands of years ago. To enter, visitors need to crawl through a narrow opening, leading into a spacious cavern adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Local legends say the cave was once a hiding place for locals during invasions. 4. Cathedral Cave: Named for its cathedral-like interior, this cave can be admired from a boat. The entrance to the cave is a tall, wide arch that seems to beckon visitors, though currents can be strong, so swimming inside is often discouraged. Sunlight filtering through the cave’s entrance on a bright day creates an ethereal ambiance, making it a captivating spot. 5. Pinagbuyutan Island: Dominating the island's skyline is a tall limestone cliff, which is a typical characteristic of El Nido. The powdery white sand beach and clear waters teeming with marine life make it an excellent spot for snorkeling. The island's tranquility and natural beauty make it a favorite among visitors. --- Activities: While the tour focuses on the attractions mentioned, guests typically indulge in various activities like snorkeling to see the vibrant underwater world, swimming in the turquoise waters, and hiking up viewpoints for a more panoramic sight of the bay. Kayaking can also be an option in some areas. ---

El Nido Tour B: Delving Deep into Snake Island and Caves El Nido, located on Palawan's northern tip in the Philippines, is synonymous with crystalline waters, towering limestone cliffs, and pristine beaches. One of its sought-after boat tours is Tour B, which promises an intimate exploration of some of the area's most iconic destinations. Snake Island: Named for its distinctively sinuous sandbar rather than any reptilian inhabitants, Snake Island is a natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe. At low tide, an elongated, S-shaped sandbar emerges, connecting the island to the mainland. This white sandy pathway, bordered by clear, shallow waters on either side, offers visitors a unique walking experience with panoramic views of the surrounding islands and open sea. The island itself is draped in lush greenery, and a short hike to a viewpoint reveals a breathtaking vista of the bay. Mystical Caves: El Nido's limestone formations are home to numerous caves, each telling a story of geological history and local lore. Tour B introduces adventurers to some of these hidden realms: 1. Cudugnon Cave: Steeped in history, Cudugnon Cave is believed to have been a burial site during ancient times. The entrance requires a bit of a squeeze, but once inside, visitors are greeted by spacious chambers adorned with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. 2. Cathedral Cave: Aptly named for its towering interiors that resemble a Gothic cathedral, this cave is accessible only by boat. The sun's rays penetrate the cave's entrance, casting ethereal light patterns on its walls, making for a surreal experience. 3. Entalula Island Caves: Though not as expansive as the other caves, the caves on Entalula Island offer a mix of sand, stone, and sea. They are a testament to the erosive power of nature, carving beauty into the limestone cliffs. El Nido Tour B is not just a journey across turquoise waters but also a dive into the natural and historical tapestry of Palawan. From the captivating curves of Snake Island's sandbar to the whispered secrets of age-old caves, it's an expedition that resonates with the soul of every traveler.
