What You’ll Experience in El Nido Tour C

Tour C features a mix of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and meaningful historical sites. Your first major stop is Matinloc Shrine, known for its sweeping views and its intriguing World War II treasure story.

You will then visit Helicopter Island, named after its helicopter-like shape. Its soft sand, blue water, and scenic shoreline make it perfect for relaxing and swimming.

Next is Hidden Beach, a secluded cove tucked behind limestone cliffs. You reach it by swimming through an opening, and inside you’ll find calm turquoise water ideal for swimming and snorkeling.

Another highlight is Secret Beach, said to have inspired the novel “The Beach.” This remote cove is hidden behind a limestone wall and accessible only through a small crevice.
