Today, you’ll start your morning with a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Puerto Princesa City.

Afterward, your driver will pick you up for a scenic land transfer to El Nido town in Palawan Island.

Famous for its spectacular rock cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and pristine white sand beaches, El Nido town is often regarded as one of the most beautiful destinations in the Philippines.

Upon your arrival at your accommodation, you can check in and settle comfortably. The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy at leisure, whether you want to explore the town, relax by the beach, or simply unwind.

To elevate your experience, you can upgrade your package to include a 3-course meal at Big Bad Thai Restaurant. 

This includes a flavorful spread of Thai dishes such as Khao Tod (crispy rice balls with red curry), Kaeng Jued (a light chicken and vegetable soup), and Khao Niao Mamuang (classic mango sticky rice). The meal is paired with your choice of a refreshing Thai Iced Tea or a signature Thairita Cocktail (a unique twist on the traditional margarita).

If you’d rather explore on your own, we’ll send you a guide of recommended dining spots in El Nido so you won’t miss out on the town’s vibrant food scene.

After a full day of discovering El Nido town’s stunning beaches and lagoons, your boat will return to the main island. From there, your guide will accompany you back to your hotel, where you’ll have the rest of the day free to relax or explore at your own pace.
