Philippines
A 4-day trip to El Nido / Palawan
El Nido is Palawan's dramatic corner — limestone cliffs over lagoons, and island-hopping in turquoise water.
El Nido is the Philippines' most spectacular beach base — limestone karst cliffs over hidden lagoons, with four island-hopping tours that are the standard daily activity. Palawan is the bigger island; El Nido is its backpacker-turned-boutique hub. Go in the dry season (November–May) and book the lagoon tours.
