El Nido Shenanigan Day 3

Third day, last day! I'm glad that the weather cooperated on our last day. This time we decided for Tour B at Php 800 with lunch. We want to maximize and enjoy our last stay in El Nido. Tour B is sometimes labeled as the cave tour since we would be exploring a couple of caves for the day.




First stop: Pangulashian Island

This is a privately owned island and is off-limits to non-guests. Boats are just to dock a few meters from the shore as the island is also one of the snorkeling sites. According to our tour guide, accommodation in the island ranges from around $500/night..waaah..gulp, gulp, gulp...

Another fish feeding session, and again, fishes were bigger than the usual, and they're always "greedy". A lot more colorful fishes this time. 








Second Stop: Snake Island

The name was coined from a snake-like formation of the sand-bar from an aerial view. During low tide, the sand bar is visible connecting to the other island. The view was really awesome. Our tour guide was also busy preparing our lunch so we had time yet to stroll the perimeter.

The water is perfectly clean. During that time though, it was high tide and we really wanted to get across the other side, but nah, we prefer to just swim as our guide might call us for our lunch. We were starved then after hiking a few meters just to get an aerial shot for the snake-like sand bar.

On the other side was also the other islands that we were yet to explore. I can say that this is truly a paradise. The limestone formations were truly awesome. Seems like I visited other Asian countries. Well, its more fun in the Philippines..hihihi




Third Stop: Cudugnon Cave

Another one of those series wherein you have to crawl to get inside the cave.














It's just a sight to see inside, nothing that much. A few picture takings inside the cave and that's just it.







                                                                    


And a little bit of snorkeling again within the cave's vicinity. 






 


Fourth Stop: Cathedral Cave

The high cathedral-like ceiling best describes the site. Its just for sight-seeing though as the water is deep and the boat could not fit in its entrance.









Just for picture-taking though :)










 
Last Stop: Pinagbuyutan Island

Sadly, this would be the last stop for the whole El Nido trip. The whole stretch of white sand can be seen from afar. The sand sinks in your feet. One thing about the beach though is that its a little bit rocky when the tide goes low. But still, a great view, a great beach.

Footprints..yea, our first steps here..

Capping the night, we chilled at SeaSlug as it is near our resort...I wonder why we didn't notice the place during our first nights here.. just a doze of beer since we have to leave early the next morning.
