Climb to the top of El Nido's limestone cliffs and see everything spread before you.
Relax, order a ripe mango shake, and just lay back in your own beach bed and cabana. If you want, you can even float for a while in the blue waters off Pangulasian Island.

The best thing about El Nido is its awe-inspiring natural beauty. The next best thing is the variety of ways available for exploring. From cliff climbing and trekking to snorkeling and kayaking, there’s an activity to suit your interests and skill level.
If you're looking for the ultimate sunset, nothing beats waiting for it at Pangulasian Island. Order a fruit shake from the bar, kick back, relax, and watch the sun set with a blaze of red and orange. If you're lucky, there'll be some acoustic jamming and dancing while you're waiting.

If you listen hard enough, each of these boats has an interesting story to tell.
One of the many outrigger boats you'll see around Bacuit Bay.
Clark Quay, named after Andrew Clark, the second governor of Singapore, is home to numerous popular bars, restaurants, and a lively nightlife. Sip a cocktail as you watch small bumpboats make their way down the Singapore river.
A newly hatched hawksbill sea turtle starts heading for home.
The hawksbill sea turtle is one of five species of sea turtles found in Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. It can be identified by the serrated edge of the carapace and the hooked jaw that resembles a hawk's bill. It is the most endangered sea turtle and is the source of "tortoiseshell", which is used in making sunglasses, hair ornaments, and guitar picks.
