Island bumming: El Nido Palawan

Take a vacation and just chill, swim, eat, relax and enjoy mother nature. Its summer again and this is the best time to visit other parts of the philippines!:)

For our El nido tour, we booked our tour activities, accommodation and van transfers to Northern Hope Tours. For more information you can check their site or email them directy, here: http://www.northernhopetours.com/

Accommodation: Overcomer Lodge includes breakfast

We stay for 3 nights in Overcomer Lodge. Our room has 3 queen size bed that can accommodate 6 persons and with private bathroom. The room are nice, not too spacious but cozy and clean. Located at Barangay Corong Corong, El nido. 

It’s a tricycle ride away from the Public Market, Land Transportation Terminal and from the Town Proper of El Nido where most restaurants and stores are located.

After 5 hours of travel from PPS to el nido, we still have spare time to visit near by beach. Our first plan is to visit Nacpan beach but the tricycle driver suggested to visit Las Cabanes beach resort. Tricycle rent is Php1500 from nacpan beach and Las cabanes is only Php150. His advise is mas sulit daw ang nacpan if morning dadayuhin. Las Cabanes resort is only 10 minutes away from our lodge. Nacpan beach is 45-60 min drive and because it was already 3:30PM that time, we decided to go to Las cabanes resort till sunset.

I love Puerto Princesa

Finally, after 2 years of planning this vacation, it was executed last April. After graduation, (hmm 7 years ago) we hang out often and focus/busy to our own career. Coffee in table and the classic timezone videoke is our bonding till we planned this out of town last 2 yrs ago and it was just executed last April. :)
