El Nido, Philippines Underwater

Unlike other limestone karst islands in Southeast Asia, El Nido is still relatively untouched by mass tourism, the waters are clean and the marine life is abundant. El Nido, a protected area, sits on the stunning Bacuit Bay in Northern Palawan in the Philippines and home to a multitude of marine life such as at least two species of sea turtles, black tip sharks, dolphins and other spectacular marine life endemic to the region.

I was in El Nido last year. Staying at Miniloc island.. This place is paradise.. Truely a heaven on earth. I've been to Mindoro, Bohol and Boracay. But nothing compares to El Nido!

I'm definitely going back......

@dextc I think each destination in the Philippines has its own unique beauty and charm. For sure, it's better than other destinations of similar nature in Asia.

@riain Absolutely. don't get me wrong. Phillipine nature as a whole is breathtaking. But the feeling i had when kayaking in the small/big lagoon and seeing the small untouched islands left me in awe. To see nature in it's "natural" way without beeing contaminated by humans was a big experience for me.

@dextc That's right. :) I try to promote all Philippine destinations. :) :) :) It was unfortunate that I forgot to take videos whilst I was in Coron....Maybe I have to come back..

you're not the only ones who got hooked by El Nido's beauty! I hope it won't be like Boracay, or Bali, or Phuket. Nature as its best - that's El Nido.!
