El Nido Walking Tour
El Nido, Philippines
Why Walk El Nido
El Nido sits at the northern tip of Palawan island, the jumping-off point for island-hopping tours through the Bacuit Archipelago. Towering karst limestone cliffs rise directly from turquoise waters, sheltering hidden lagoons accessible only by kayak through narrow gaps in the rock. The marine environment supports over 800 species of fish and extensive coral reef systems.
