The north of the island of Palawan, called El Nido, has not changed much since the time when the first Spanish colonialists landed here. The white sandy beaches of the west coast offer views of hundreds of tiny islets that form a network of canals and lagoons. The water here is so clean and clear that you can see bright fish swimming near a coral reef at a depth of 15 meters. For only $ 20-30 you can rent a boat for the whole day, which will take you along a scenic route, boarding on different islands, swimming on wild beaches and grilled seafood lunch.
