El Nido is one of the most popular spots in the Philippines and is located on the island of Palawan. This area is well known for the limestone cliff formations, turquoise waters and island hopping around Bacuit Bay. Spend at least 3 days here, giving yourself plenty of time to explore and relax! As you would expect, one of the top things to do in El Nido is the island hopping and you’ll want at least 2 days to spend sailing around to the different islands!
