Kayaking and Snorkeling at El Nido

Day 3
April 23, 2015
El Nido

We took island hopping tour A the next day. The tour included Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, 7 Commandos Beach, and Simizu Island, which we seemed to have skipped.

Our first stop was at the small lagoon where we rented some kayaks. From where our boat docked, we had to travel a short distance to reach a small pathway leading to the small lagoon. The place was serenely beautiful - but only until a large crowd of tourists poured in. It was a great thing that we started the tour really early - it got really crowded and noisy by the time we left.

After the small lagoon, we got to the big lagoon. No kayaks here - our boat, like the others, just quickly passed through (as if we were running after something) and went on to the next destination which was at the shore where one can found the Secret Lagoon - an even smaller lagoon compared to small lagoon. This one has a very narrow opening - only one person can fit at a time. It was not impressive at all and most of the people just swam and snorkeled near the shore. This was where everyone stopped-over to rest and ate lunch.

Afte lunch, we spent an hour in the middle of the sea to snorkel. Then, we proceeded to the last stop of the day at 7 Commandos Beach.
