The lagoons, islands, and beaches near El Nido are quite spectacular, and full-day expeditions to the islands are relatively inexpensive even if you book a private tour. I opted to do Tour A<\/a> and Tour C<\/a> while I was in El Nido. These are considered the most popular island-hopping tours, but they do also offer a Tour B<\/a> and Tour D<\/a> for those looking to complete all of the island-hopping adventures or those that are looking for a slightly less crowded experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I found out that several tour operators offer a “premium” tour package for slightly more than the regular tours, and I would highly recommend the upgrade. You get a larger boat with much more sun protection as well as a buffet style lunch. As you head to the waterfront to hop on the tour boats, be sure to stop by Grounded Coffee Shop for some amazing banana bread or a delicious chocolate chip cookie! The coffee is great as well if you enjoy a good cup of coffee and not the instant coffee found in many cafes in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTake Island-Hopping Tours A & C (B & D if you have extra time)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
