From the towering marble cliffs and enchanting lagoons to its white sandy beaches and lush jungle, National Geographic Traveler's magazine, has chosen El Nido as one of the best travel destinations in the world.
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.
Secret Lagoon is located in a small island reminscent of the movie "the Beach" surrounded by limestone karst cliffs. As you enter into a small hole, you will see a massive caldera that was once a cave which collapsed and now is surrounded by karst cliffs. In the middle is a lagoon.
Shimitzu island is one of my favorite snorkeling site during the island hoppings as there are a lot of fishes.Shimizu Island - is an island with stunning limestone cliffs where swiftlet nest and produce the much sought after bird's nest soup, believed by asians to have healing powers. Here the guides will prepare for you a sumptuous meal while you snorkel in the nearby coral reef.
Seven Commandos Beach - The final destination after a long day on tour. Seven Commandos is named after the 7 remaining Japanese commandos who lived in the island as straglers after World War II. The island has a long white sandy beach lined with palms trees.
We jumped from the boat and started swimming to the entrance of the Small Lagoon, entering the tunnel and continually swim until we reached the other side. I was a little disappointed that I did not get bitten by sharp-toothed fish at the entrance of the small lagoon as sort of defense mechanism, according to the tour guide. I got bitten many times by jelly fish.
