This time, I decided to go with some friends on El Nido’s Island Hopping Tour A. I must say, I had a great time. Tour A goes to four different Philippines islands. We head to Seven Commandos Beach first, which is quite a picturesque beach. Then we head to the Big Lagoon, where we go kayaking in some incredible natural scenery. Afterwards, we go to Shimizu Island to eat lunch and snorkel. Finally, we end up at the Secret Lagoon, which is difficult to get to. Check out this El Nido, Philippines travel vlog to see why they say “It’s More Fun in the Philippines.” About El Nido’s Island Hopping Tour A: El Nido is one of the most famous destinations in the Philippines, and Tour A is the island hopping route that almost everyone ends up doing. On paper, it sounds extremely touristy — lagoons, kayaks, limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear water that you’ve probably seen all over Instagram. But actually being there is a different experience. Tour A takes you through some of El Nido’s most iconic spots, including the Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, and Shimizu Island. Kayaking between towering limestone cliffs, swimming in unreal blue-green water, and hopping between islands makes it easy to understand why this tour is so popular. Yes, there are other people around, but the scenery is so impressive that it never really feels disappointing. This vlog follows a full day on El Nido’s Tour A, experiencing the sights as they really are — fun, beautiful, and undeniably touristy in the best way.

Maraming nagsasabi na “sobrang touristy” ito — maraming tao, sikat na lagoons, at mga lugar na madalas makita sa social media. Pero iba pa rin kapag naranasan mo mismo. Sa Tour A, mapupuntahan ang ilan sa mga pinakakilalang attractions ng El Nido tulad ng Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, at Shimizu Island.
