The locals of the Hawaiian islands are famed for their “Aloha spirit”, a friendly accepting attitude and a powerful way of overcoming any problem, and I could use bags of it to overcome my present obstacle – getting my surfboard to keep my body out of the sea for as long as possible.

I thought El Nido was an uber expensive place but after staying there for one month I realize that budget travellers like me could also afford to travel in this paradise.

El Nido is another popular destination which is often compared to Coron, another tourist spot here in Palawan. I think I like El Nido more because there’s a cool and laidback vibe that will make anyone stay longer than usual.

Most tourists will usually spend their day lounging on the beach and engaging themselves with water sport and other sightseeing activities and end the day partying or clubbing. Here’re three islands known for [...]
There are four options that you can take when you go island hopping in El Nido. The tour price ranges from P700-P900($16-$20)/person inclusive of lunch, tour guide and boat rental.
