Pegamos um voo de Vietnam dia 22 de novembro a 1:00 da madrugada, fomos fazer o check-in e o que acontece? Precisava de uma passagem para sair das Filipinas e eu não tinha... Fui comprar uma passagem qualquer para poder ir para Filipinas, voltei correndo para o check-in, enfim, conseguimos entrar e embarcar. Chegamos a Manila e tivemos que pegar outro voo para Coron. Chegando em Coron, pegamos uma Van até o Porto onde tivemos que pegar outro barco para poder chegarmos a nossa expedição que tinha saído as 9:00 e nós chegamos no Porto as 12:00. Chegamos mais ou menos 13:30 no barco da expedição de Coron a El Nido, chamado Tao Philippines, fomos super bem recebidos, ainda tinham umas pessoas fazendo snorkeling mas nós estávamos morrendo de fome, sorte que o almoço estava quase ... read more

First day at El Nido Kayaking and hiking ( or shall I say rock climbing) I woke up to the sounds of trikes honking horns, dogs barking and roosters cock-a-doodle -do! I took a quick shower and got dressed to schedule tours for the day and he next day. I walked in the Art Caffe and talked to the ladies there and booked a kayaking-snorkeling-island hopping boat combo tour for Sunday. A hiking tour for the afternoon and a kayak for the morning. I walked around the main area where all the bars, restos, hostels, guesthouses and shops are and I bought a few small souvenirs. Then I wandered around the outside streets and walked into El Nido town. El Nido is in central Palawan it is a bay called Bacuit ( not sure spelling) it ... read more

It's all about the company Despite all the shocks and last minutes changes, my love of El Nido continued to grow. I think that is what they say of all great love affairs. Haha :-D With each passing day, I started to enjoy the place, the food, the fun, and I think most importantly, the company of my friends (^_^) As mentioned, it is difficult to find friends of the same hobbies - diving, and they also have the same intensity and love for travel. I am very glad to have spread my love of the sea to my gf, SY, and she in turned spread her love of diving to me. It was under her influence and recommendation that I took up diving under Jean, who has now turned into one of my closest dive ... read more

El Nido + Friends = Great Time I am extremely grateful to find this group of fun loving dive friends. On this trip, we were happy to see that our dive khakis are increasing too (khakis = malay for close friends). It is difficult to find people of the same hobby or even of the same personalities to come together to do something they enjoy. As this group of friends are die-hard divers, our trips are always filled with the maximum number of dives we can do, and thus we will constantly be out at sea. For those who were hopping to get more information about land activities in El Nido, I am so sorry I am not able to write much about it. Anyway, while on this trip, I realised I am kinda "amphibious" - ... read more

El Nido is located at the tip of the main Palawan Island. It is really difficult to get to this place, but the view and scenery was really worth the hassle. It was beautiful. Whenever I go on such trip. It would really be a pain and it's not as easy as it seemed. However, when I finally reach the destination, everything suddenly seemed worth it - the view, the dives, and the company of my friends. This post will mainly focused on how to travel to El Nido. It was really difficult to source for information as El Nido is not a location which is widely travelled to by many people. After reading so many travel blogs and reviews of the place, we were totally overwhelmed as well as confused at what options we have ... read more

The Start of Our Journey to El Nido I sure wasn't looking forward to this part of the trip. But I have come to realise that, for the sake of beautiful beaches and untouched scenery, the extremely difficult and long travel to the place is the price to pay. This leg of the trip started on Dec 11th at 2pm and we only finally reached El Nido on Dec 12th at about 4pm. This included several places - Batangas City, Manila, Puerto Princesa, etc. Puerto Galera to Manila As we are flying from Manila to Puerto Princesa, we needed at least 12 hours of break between our last dive and our flight. As usual, I chilled out my morning while Ed went for his last dive in Galera. After that, we went through the entire hassle ... read more
