El Nido has much to offer and you can visit almost all of its beauty by going on the pre packaged tours. You can select from Tour A, B, C, or D or you can just do all 4. While Tour A focuses more on lagoons and secret coves, Tour B takes you to sand bars and atypical caves. You should pick what you’re most interested in if you are limited with your time here.

Tour B
The pick up time for Tour B was the same as Tour A (around 8 – 830AM). Since we were so close to the port, we just walked over.
Lunch was also provided thanks to the tour company we chose!
Tour B costs 7,500 PHP for 3 people. There is also an extra eco tourism development fee of 200 PHP per person.
There are 4 destinations part of this package that we visited. Here is the itinerary when we did it in January 2020.
Snake Island
This was our first destination and it involved some hiking! Snake Island is one of the many beautiful attractions in El Nido. It is a sandbar during low tide. You can even hike up higher to get a better view of the white sand and water.
Cudugnon Cave
Cudugnon Cave was the first cave we stopped at and for this one, you can actually go inside to enjoy all of the geological formations. The entrance is a small hole though so you’ll need to be careful as you crawl in (especially if you’re wearing a swimsuit!)
Cathedral Cave
This was our second cave of the day and it is only visible by boat. You can get closer though if you wait until the other boats are done. Be careful if you take pictures at the top of your boat closer to the cave – the boat can be rocky at time!
Pinagbuyutan Island
Our last stop for the day. If you go further into the island, you’ll find some nicely cut rocks that you can use as a prop. Brea climbed on this one and it made for a nice photo.
Like I mentioned in the beginning of this post, Tour B focuses more on caves and land activities. We didn’t go into the water at all. If you’re looking for more water activities, we suggest Tour A.
The next time we visit El Nido, we will do the other 2 tours that we couldn’t get to this time!
