El Nido Island Hopping Tour C<\/strong> is a special treat for beach lovers as this tour consists of El Nido’s most amazing beaches. The tour’s highlights are hidden gems that pose a little bit of challenge before being found. Enjoy a diverse bunch of activities on sand and in the waters, still with views of El Nido’s stunning rock formations.<\/p>\n

The destinations in Tour C are: Secret Beach, Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach, Talisay Beach, <\/strong>and Matinloc Shrine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helicopter Island<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"An island shaped like a helicopter.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Helicopter Island<\/strong> is usually the first stop on the tour. It got its name from its shape that resembles a helicopter when observed from afar.<\/p>\n

\"\"Helicopter Island boasts fine creamy sand.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It boasts a 300-meter creamy sand beach and a coral reef that lies close to the beach, a nice spot for snorkeling.<\/p>\n

Hidden Beach<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"This is just what you see from outside.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hidden Beach<\/strong> can easily deceive your eyes if not for the name that gives away something promising concealed beyond the rocky shores.<\/p>\n

\"\"A shallow beach will be revealed, with fine sand and diverse species of fish and corals.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The drop-off for Hidden Beach is a small distance from a rocky shoreline\u2014you will have to jump into the water and walk or swim amid the strong waves to reach the sands. For inexperienced swimmers, don’t worry, your guide will also assist you and ensure your safety all throughout!<\/p>\n

\"\"A glimpse of the West Philippine Sea.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Braving the waters will be worth it once you find a spacious, shallow beach with diverse marine life such as different fish species, starfishes, and corals. The other end of the beach offers a glimpse of the vastness of the West Philippine Sea.<\/p>\n

Talisay Beach<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A small beach with a castaway vibe.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Talisay Beach<\/strong> is the usual spot for lunch. Without other people, the beach gives you a castaway vibe, as you sit on the shore with no other people and no other facilities in sight.<\/p>\n

\"\"Delicious lunch on the boat!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to achieve this feeling, tell your guide to bring you here early to avoid other lunch-goers. You can choose to eat at the beach or on the boat, the food and table set-up courtesy of your friendly tour guides.<\/p>\n

Secret Beach<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Secret Beach<\/strong> is another beach that seeks to be found by avid beach lovers\u2014and adventurous swimmers. Getting here is rather more challenging than at Hidden Beach as you have to swim through a small hole that has but a very small gap between its roof and the water.<\/p>\n

Since it is totally enclosed by rock walls, the beach gives a feeling of total seclusion and solitude.<\/p>\n

Matinloc Shrine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The stop at Matinloc Shrine<\/strong> adds a pinch of historical\/cultural learning to the tour as you will be ushered into a forested part of Matinloc Island where religious relics lie hidden. There is a limestone peak nearby for sightseeing.<\/p>\n
