Philippines · EL NIDO TOURS
El Nido sells its boat days as Tours A, B, C and D, and the letters mean nothing until someone explains them. These 15 do that: which route holds the Big Lagoon, which one gets you a beach to yourself, and which combinations are worth paying a private boat for.

Explore El Nido’s Small Lagoon, quiet beaches, snorkeling spots, and Cadlao Island on a relaxed seven-hour boat tour.
“The small Lagoon was amazing! The fact the tour is not as popular was perfect as we got to be alone on certain beaches and in the small lagoon, avoiding all the crouds that some time ruin the place. Be careful of the extra costs! We paid 200 pesos for kayaks for each location, that is another 400 pesos in total, and with out the kayak you can not visit the small lagoon. Make sure you bring extra money!”
