Explore secret lagoons and swim with diverse populations of tropical fish

Overview

The second most popular to El Nido is Tour A is El Nido Island Hopping C. Tour C is known for having the best snorkeling tour and provides the most significant opportunity for sea turtles. The tour visits and snorkels to a place that once used to host a convent and a school, the Matinloc Shrine, which is now a place to walk around and explore the yet charming land that legends say is haunted by a ghost. 

Another attraction of tour C is Helicopter island; like most islands of Bacuit Bay, Helicopter Island (also known as Dilumacad Island) boasts towering cliffs covered with thick vegetation that resembles the shape of a helicopter when it is viewed from afar, although many visitors have a hard time associating its shape with a helicopter. Helicopter island is also an excellent place to relax, unwind, and picnic lunch during the trip.

Activity Highlights

  • Discover how Secret beach got its name
