Well worth a visit but anticipate a lot of people, extra charge onsite for kayak rental, and rough water / transfer from the boat to the kayak. Super grateful for a gracious crew to assist and for on…Full review by 741jeffreya

You won’t be the only person here - everyone and their brother stops here. So, the most popular stop on the most popular tour A, don’t expect small crowds. There was heavy surf the day we visited, ka…Full review by pfefmeister

Big Lagoon, one of the most visited spots in El Nido, is part of Tour A. The boat stops at a distance and you then go on kayaks to explore the place.Full review by DipuKV
Safe place to stay near big lagoon and how far from Puerto Princesa airport?
A:
Big lagoon doesn't have any accomodations near it. It's like in the middle of the sea. Part of miniloc. You can only reach it by group/private tours. Places to stay in El Nido would be in …
Big lagoon doesn't have any accomodations near it. It's like in the middle of the sea. Part of miniloc. You can only reach it by group/private tours. Places to stay in El Nido would be in town and surrounding areas. But there are high end resorts in miniloc island which is nearer the lagoons. Traveling from Puerto princesa to El nido is around 5-6 hours by van.
Great thread guys I'm also heading to El Nido in January. For those that flew there from mamilla did you pre book your flights? When I spoke to the travel agents about it they advised to get the 8 hour coach because the planes are reserved for the top hotels so you can book a flight but might not be allowed on. Is that the case? Thanks

Thank you so much for all of your help guys!!! Looks like we are going to be going from cebu to Puerto Princessa and then the coach trip to el nido. As you all are pretty hot on how the flights work (thanks again so much) do they fly regularly or at all from Cebu to el nido or will it be the case of flying to Puerto Princessa? X
Hello, will be island hopping in 2018. I have visited The Philippines before, however I have just gone only to Puerto Galera and Boracay. I am considering going to Palawan this year, and I am questioning the safety due to the kidnapping travel advisories. Is Palawan safe it's a visit? Or is it something to be avoided. I know sometimes the news may hype up an advisory. Best input is highly appreciated!
A:
Palawan is absolutely save if you stay in the north (meaning Puerto Princesa and up) ... GO THERE, it's soooo beautiful!!! :-) ... we travelled there in February and would go back within …
Palawan is absolutely save if you stay in the north (meaning Puerto Princesa and up) ... GO THERE, it's soooo beautiful!!! :-) ... we travelled there in February and would go back within a heartbeat. We took a flight from Manila directly to El Nido which is awesome! From El Nido you can go Island Hopping (there a 4 different tours) where you will be visiting the most beautiful places you have ever seen. We also visited Boracay but to be completely honest Boracay doesn't stand a chance against Palawan and it's beauty.
What is the differences between these two packages?
A:
It seems that the more expensive one includes snorkel gears + kayak. It is rented separately (if you opted for the cheaper package) at 200-400 Php, depending on your haggling skills.
I booke 2 tours, 1 was the Tour A, pushed the price down to 1600 Pesos for both tours including the environment fees. We were in both your in total 4 people. You don't need to rent …
I booke 2 tours, 1 was the Tour A, pushed the price down to 1600 Pesos for both tours including the environment fees. We were in both your in total 4 people. You don't need to rent a Kayak as the boat is just going inside the Blue Lagon ;) that's how my boat did (the water is not deep and they stay in front to check if there is any rock...) So You don't need any Kayak to rent! ;)
