I traveled from Puerto Princesa to El Nido by van, a six-hour journey that was long but filled with laughter and beautiful landscapes. Once we arrived, the breathtaking beauty of Bacuit Bay was waiting for us. I jumped on a guided island-hopping adventure, exploring stunning spots like Secret Lagoon Beach, which you access by swimming through a narrow gap in a rock wall. It felt like discovering a hidden treasure!

To make the most of my time, I rented a moped to cruise along the coast and visit other picturesque beaches. Each stretch of sand had its own unique charm, and I found myself lounging at Angkla Beach Club, where the service was top-notch, even if the prices were a bit on the higher side. But when you’re in paradise, why not indulge a little? So, grab your camera, because every corner of El Nido is a postcard waiting to happen!
