good morning from the lovely little town in the north of Palawan called El Nido this is
considered to be one of the most beautiful places in all of the Philippines so the top
attractions of El Nido are definitely the many islands and islets that they
have here it's really beautiful nature and the easiest way to see all that is to take
a local boat trip which is what I'm going to be doing this morning but before we do that I
want to grab some breakfast and also show you guys the town site because it is super cute
foreign
so there are four main boat tours here in El Nido a b c and d a is the most popular one if you only
had you know one day trip where you could do a boat tour that's the one that they say you
should do today I'm going to be doing 2 or a but tomorrow I'm also scheduled for tour C and how I
booked these tours was actually through get your guide who happens to be the sponsor of

we have made it to seven Commandos Beach this beautiful strip of white sand amongst the palm
trees and apparently there's a resort further on down here so if you actually wanted to stay
on this island that's also an option one thing I want to say right off the bat is that I am
so grateful that I bought this thing here in El Nido you see everyone walking around with these
waterproof bags and it's a really good thing I purchased it because to get in and out of the
boat as you can see they can only come in so far so you have to kind of tread through the
water to get on and off your boat meaning there's a good chance that your stuff will get wet if you
just had it in a regular bag so I highly urge you guys if you're bringing any kind of electronics
or anything else you don't want getting wet make sure you have of some kind of waterproof
bag to get it in because you are basically waiting in pretty tall water to get on the boat

s we just got to Shimizu Island which is super gorgeous and look at the lunch
that we are going to have in just a couple of minutes here yeah yeah do you want to try oh
yeah
it's gonna tickle it's so cute you want it sure keep it little friend
so it's a bit of a sad story how this island actually got its name there
was a Japanese tourist named Shimizu who was one of the first tourists to
actually come to this island and as he was exploring he found these underwater caves
and unfortunately he ended up passing away in that area so it was after hand
that the island was named and you can actually go to the underwater caves now
um if you are Patty certified and go on a group tour so that is a very sad history of this island
look at this spread the shrimp chicken yakisoba pork that's seaweed right yeah
oh my gosh that's what they use uh for ASMR you know right
that's awesome we also got some fish about 20 cups of rice lots of fruit
foreign
we are at a place called The Secret Lagoon and I have to tell you it was so treacherous trying
to get down here um don't even think about doing this tour without renting like water
shoes to protect your feet because almost every single uh Beach we've gone to there
are like huge rocks everywhere so imagine like you're getting off the boat and trying to swim
amongst the waves and then it gets so shallow and you keep like hitting rock after Rock after
Rock so I hope it's gonna be worth it there's like a big lineup of people uh to enter this
sort of like cave you wouldn't see it if you were further away it's this little hole that
opens up to I guess a lagoon so hopefully it's worth the Trek but that was intense
foreign
back in town guys the Sun is going to set fairly soon here but I thought it would be
fun to show you a little bit more of El Nido town and also go try some local Filipino food
hello I think yeah that'd be great thank you
what would you recommend for a Filipino specialties
the our chicken adobo chicken adobo okay
all right guys my food just arrived we got chicken adobo I have not tried this
yet but I've definitely heard of it very popular and then I just got a
mixed stir fry because I got to get the veggies in got a San Miguel pale Pilsen
looks like the perfect meal let's do a taste test we're gonna take
that falls off the bone
it's very tender it has a very kind of distinct
wood I think it's because of the sauce that it's marinated in and I actually
really like that I got the vegetable dish because there's something in here that I
don't I don't know what kind of vegetable it is whatever this is I don't know what it is
I don't know what kind of vegetable it is but it's good very hearty and yeah all in
all delicious I mean nothing's too crazy it is just rice chicken and vegetables but
really well done and for the chicken itself I think it's only about three US Dollars
and then the vegetables is actually more the vegetable dish is probably like four
dollars U.S so all in all seven dollars and then the beer is about two very good
thank you
all right guys I'm here with Andy also a fellow YouTuber and we are in the small Lagoon right
very beautiful Waters here and actually very shallow we almost got stuck um but it's
super common here and the waters are like super turquoise beautiful scaling Cliffs it's amazing
foreign
so guys we are at our fourth destination um but unfortunately it was pouring rain when
we got here so I don't have contacts in today because my eyes are hurting and obviously I
can't wear my glasses when it's pouring rain so I wasn't able to join uh the half of our group
that went into the cave but just wanted to let you know that if you go on two or see there is
supposed to be like a really cool taste that is here that you can go but I had fun swimming
with the other half of the group here and it is really really beautiful absolutely
so friends we are at our last stop of the tour which is Paradise Beach all in all
I have had an absolutely fabulous time in El Nido I would definitely come back and I
would highly urge you guys to visit if you're in the Philippines also just want to make a
note of how lovely all the people on my tours have been like Filipinos in general from my
experience so far are like the friendliest people they're so welcoming and as a Solo
Traveler it's just been so nice to you know be included and be part of the group so it's just
been a really fun time let me know in the comments if you guys have ever been to El
Nido what were your favorite things to see and do and as always I'm sending you guys so much
love I hope you're having a fantastic day and keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys
