El Nido is a municipality and managed resource protected area in the province of Palawan in the Philippines. It is about 420 kilometres (260 mi) south-west of Manila, and about 238 kilometres (148 mi) north-east of Puerto Princesa, Palawan’s capital. It is known for its white-sand beaches, coral reefs, limestone cliffs and as the gateway to the Bacuit archipelago.
As a part of our accommodation deal at Arkitel we were booked on Tour A. This is arguably the most popular island hopping tour in El Nido. It took us into a small and big lagoon, Shimzu Island for lunch and some extraordinary snorkeling. And finally to 7 Commando Beach. The crew of our boat were so friendly and helpful. It really was a pleasure to spend the day with them.

Heading out on our tour.
The town of El Nido.
First stop of the day...small lagoon.
We rented a kayak, but it's not really necessary. The lagoon was small enough to explore as a swimmer.
Big lagoon. Here we loved having the kayak, because the lagoon was really large and we were able to paddle all around it and explore.
Rehydrating with giant coconuts after our swim/kayak.
Beautiful 7 Commando Beach.
Fun on the rope swing.
Storm was rolling in, but we were lucky and only started to reason when we were leaving.
