El Nido Day 2: Tour A's Lagoons

For the second day activity, we all agreed to prepare early and look for the cheap restaurant near the pick up point for the island hopping. We reached na the other side of the beach at wala pa kaming nahahanap na ok and it's already 8:00am. Island hopping will start at 9:00am kaya kung anong malapit na restaurant na nakita namin, dun na kami kumain. We entered Seaslugs restaurant and ordered tapsilog at P180.00 and hubby's was hotsilog. We were not able to take pictures of the restaurant because the server is medyo may attitude plus nadisappoint si hubby at Jorge for the hotsilog they both ordered. Ang cute kasi ng mga hotdogs. 3pcs nga sya pero malalaki pa ang daliri ko. Hahaha. Naasar na naman si Jorge kasi hindi na sya nasatisfy sa mga kinakain nya.

I texted Sir Harvey na nasa Seaslugs kami. A few minutes after may lumapit samin na lalaki. Kung kami daw ba yung group ni Migui, syempre sinabi namin hindi. We later found out na yung lalaki pala na yun is yung guide namin at Micai ang hinahanap. Naexcite yata sya at mali ang dinig sa name ko nung inutusan ni Sir Harvey. Hahaha

And so, its time na daw to ride the boat. We will be joining other groups pala. Mas maganda para hindi yung kami lang ang nagkakalokohan sa boat. Hahaha

Tour package A is P1,200 per head. The environmental fee we paid the day before is one time only.

So let's start the island hopping now!

SMALL LAGOON

We rented kayaks at P300. And since we are 5, solo flight na naman ang single. Naawa lang ang guide at sinamahan sya para magpaddle.

 Let the pictures do the talking.

The small beach in one part of the lagoon

PAYONG PAYONG BEACH

We were supposed to have lunch at Shimizu Island. Kaso ang dami ng tourist sa island kaya we had lunch at Payong Payong beach instead.

Siesta after lunch

Super clear waters of Payong Payong Beach. Time to go!!

BIG LAGOON

We did not bother to go down because ang layo ng entrance to the lagoon where our boat parked. Low tide kasi.We just decided to go snorkeling around the area.

Pero sabi ni kuya guide, big lagoon is five times bigger than the small lagoon. Kaya pala P500 ang rent ng kayak dito, mas mahal sa small lagoon. Haha

See the boats parked at the left portion of this picture?? Malayo pa dyan ang entrance ng lagoon

.

SEVEN COMMANDOS

This is my most favorite among the islands and the last beach we had for Tour A. If only I knew that this island has its own unique beauty, kinaladkad ko na sana ang mga kasama ko para magmadaling umalis sa mga previous islands. Haha

Seven commandos beach was named after the 7 Commando who survived from the war and lived here. I can't help but to admire this island. So perfectly beautiful.

You can buy here halo-halo, fruit shakes and other refreshments at P100 each and other snacks. Nakakatuwa kasi merong kuryente dito using a small generator. Pero for the store's use only. Nakakarelax talaga sa island na ito. Meron din dito mga cottages, free of charge. At meron ding volleyball court. 

Group picture ulit!

Thank you El Nido for sharing your beauty.
