This is Tour A, El Nido's signature island-hopping route in Palawan, Philippines, visiting Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island and Seven Commandos Beach in one day. At Big Lagoon, swim and kayak among calm, clear waters and the surrounding rock formations, then slip through a small opening into Secret Lagoon, a clear pool enclosed by rocks. Snorkel off the white-sand beach of Shimizu Island and relax with a swim at Seven Commandos Beach. A licensed tour guide accompanies you, and lunch, the Big Lagoon entrance fee and the El Nido tourism development fee are included.
After hotel pickup within El Nido town, depart from Umi Travel and Tours by boat and visit Big Lagoon, Shimizu Island, Secret Lagoon and Seven Commandos Beach in turn. A licensed English-speaking tour guide accompanies you, and the tour lasts about 8 hours. Lunch, drinking water and towels are provided.
You spend about 1 hour 30 minutes at Big Lagoon, where calm, clear water meets rock formations above and below the surface. Swim or explore the lagoon by kayak. Kayaks are not included and can be rented on site.
At Shimizu Island, enjoy swimming and snorkeling off the white-sand beach for about 1 hour 30 minutes. Secret Lagoon opens up into a clear pool surrounded by rocks once you pass through a small entrance, and you can swim and snorkel there for about 45 minutes.
Finally, stop at Seven Commandos Beach for about 45 minutes to swim and relax in the clear sea, and learn how the beach got its name. The tour ends back at Umi Travel and Tours, where it started.
