El Nido, Palawan (2010)
We took the opportunity to explore more of El Nido when Megan asked us to shoot her wedding. It was our first beach wedding and our first time at El Nido. We had to know our way around before the wedding so we ended up staying there for 5 days. This meant we had time to go around and really experience El Nido. Coolest job ever!
Taking the boat tours is a must! El Nido town has become too crowded and built too close to the shore so you really have to go visit the islands. Each island has its own personality and we loved all of them! We didn’t get to see the best tours yet so we’re longing for more! I guess we’ll just have to save those when we go back. This is definitely one of those dream destinations that makes you plan your second trip even while you’re still there.
The iconic entrance to the Big Lagoon.

Still in Microtel. Left Photo was taken in the middle of the night.
El Nido at last! The first sight of sunset at the Art Cafe.
Sunset at El Nido town.
Dogs (and cats) everywhere! Even on the islands.
On our way to the island of Miniloc.
Entrance to the small lagoon. It wasn't really that small once you start crossing it.
On our way to Simizu island.
Simizu Island. This is where we had lunch.
Secret Lagoon. It was like a natural cathedral inside.
View from Corong-corong beach about 3kms. from El Nido town.
View from Stunning Vistas, Corong-corong beach.
Corong-corong has a better (unobstructed) view than El Nido town.
Slice of daily life at El Nido. Kids playing along the shore.
Snake Island. Not much of an island during high tide.
Ellis Island. Only a few boatmen know about this place.
Ellis Island.
One of the many sunsets at Stunning Vistas, Corong-corong. That resort really lives up to its name. It's owned by a very nice and generous family too.
Of course, our token shot! Our boatman, Buddy, was awesome! He knew all the best spots, made us cool hats (as seen in this shot), and has an eye for photography. He actually took this shot
