I had always wanted to go to Palawan in the Philippines. While I'd been told that El Nido was built up and very touristy it became our main hub for island hopping adventures. I was pleasantly surprised by its undeniably magical scenery and incredibly welcoming residents. El Nido and the islands nearby are a must for ocean lovers and adventure seekers. In this video I explore the best way to enjoy a visit in El Nido. An incredible stay at Amari, island hopping tours through Leatherback, and a good bit of wandering north and south of the town. 0:00 Welcome to El Nido 0:39 Starting with a Walk 1:06 Motorbike to Nacpan Beach 1:43 Lunch at Nacpan 2:56 Riding to Lio Beach for Sunset 4:17 Island Hopping Tours A & C 4:55 The Incredible Sealife 7:18 Big Lagoon 8:40 Matinloc Shrine 9:35 Rescuing Other Tourists 10:31 The Tap Water Situation 11:06 Walking to Vanilla Beach 12:40 Amari Sunset Cruise 13:24 The Comfort of Amari 14:07 Thank You To El Nido
