El Nido tips
Cultural
- Pay the eco fee: Visitors must pay the Ecotourism Development Fee; keep the ticket during your stay.
- Respect nature rules: El Nido limits plastics and protects marine areas; never touch coral or take shells.
- Try local dishes: Taste kinilaw, a citrus-cured fish, grilled seafood and Palawan cashews.
Local Hacks
- Book lagoon slots early: Popular sites like the Big Lagoon have visitor limits; book tours ahead.
- Catch sunset at Las Cabanas: This beach is a favourite for sunset views, with a zipline across the water.
- Hike Taraw Cliff: The climb offers sweeping views of town and Bacuit Bay; go with a guide.
Saving
- Join group island tours: Tours A to D are shared, making island hopping affordable.
- Eat at local eateries: Carinderias in town serve cheap Filipino meals compared to beach restaurants.
- Visit free beaches: Many beaches near town are free to visit without a tour.
Security
- Carry enough cash: ATMs can run out or be offline, and many places are cash only; bring pesos.
- Check boat safety: Choose registered operators, wear life jackets and skip tours if the sea is rough.
- Protect from the sun: The tropical sun is strong; use reef-safe sunscreen and stay hydrated.
Transportation
- Choose your arrival: Fly directly to El Nido's small airport or take a long van ride from Puerto Princesa.
- Hop on tricycles: Tricycles are the main transport around town and to nearby beaches; agree fares first.
- Rent a scooter: For beaches like Nacpan, a scooter gives freedom; ride carefully on rough roads.
Weather/Clothing
- Visit in the dry season: Roughly December to May has calmer seas and more sun; June to October brings rain and typhoon risk.
- Pack beach gear: Bring swimwear, quick-dry clothes, water shoes and a dry bag.
- Bring a rain jacket: Even in dry season, short showers can happen; a light layer helps.
