Shimizu Island boasts stunning limestone cliffs where swiftlets nest, producing the highly prized bird’s nest soup, believed by Asians to have healing properties. Here, guides will prepare a delicious meal while you snorkel in the nearby coral reef. Small Lagoon, located on Miniloc Island’s cove, offers tranquil turquoise-green waters and orchid-lined limestone walls, showcasing a vibrant marine life. Big Lagoon serves as a breeding ground for fish and crustaceans. More spots to explore.
El Nido Island Hopping Tour C
El Nido - Tour C begins with a visit to one of the most renowned islands of the Bacuit archipelago. Traditionally named Dilumacad Island, it is more commonly known as Helicopter Island due to its shape, though some say it resembles a camel, dolphin, or even a dinosaur. See for yourself which form it reminds you of! After departing Helicopter Island with its beautiful white sand and rocky beach, visit Matinloc Shrine. This site once housed a convent and school, now abandoned, which you can explore. The island is surrounded by legends and rumored to be haunted by a ghost. Feel free to ask your guide for more about this intriguing yet charming place! After lunch, visit three beaches: Secret Beach, Star Beach, and Hidden Beach. We won’t reveal everything about these places to preserve the element of surprise.
