El Nido Tour C: The Snorkeler’s Dream
Uncovering the Secrets of the Bayirst Choice
While Tour A is about grand lagoons, El Nido Tour C is about intimacy and underwater wonders. Known for its “hidden” locations, this tour requires a bit more swimming ability but rewards you with the clearest waters in the bay.
2-1 The Masterpiece
Hidden Beach
Ranked as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
- Must See
Tucked behind towering limestone walls, Hidden Beach is invisible from the open sea. You must swim through a shallow channel to reach it. Once inside, the water is calm and shallow—a perfect natural swimming pool. It feels like a secret world cut off from reality. It is a top contender for the best beach in El Nido.
2-2 The History
Matinloc Shrine
An abandoned shrine with a million-dollar view.
- Best View
Matinloc Shrine adds a touch of history to your island hopping El Nido experience. Although the shrine itself is abandoned, the real attraction is the limestone cliff you can climb. The view from the top—looking down at the deep blue channel separating Matinloc and Tapiutan islands—is arguably the best panoramic shot you will get in El Nido.
