El Nido Island Hopping Tour C, El Nido, Philippines

Another El Nido Island Hopping Tour

El Nido offers four island-hopping tours: A, B, C, and D. This is my second island-hopping tour in El Nido. I arrived at the same departure area as Tour A because all the island tours start from this location.

On the tour boat

The first island we stopped at was Helicopter Island.

This was the second destination, but I don’t remember the location name.  This area required a canoe to see it.

On the canoe

Rowed the cano to the boat

Came back to the boat

To the next destination

We came to Talisay Beach for the lunch

At the one end of the beach

Looked back at the other end of the beach

After the lunch, we went on the boat to the next destination

Out next destination was Matinloc Island

Unlike other islands, this island has a Matinloc Shrine.

Built in 1982, this abandoned shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Near the shrine are limestone cliffs that one can climb to see a panoramic ocean view.

Walked back to the boat

On the boat again

This was the last destination of the tour and the highlight. I’m not quite sure the name of the area, but it could be the Hidden Beach.

There was little water because of the time of the low tide.
