Philippines: El NIdo Spring Festival 2025

From Coron, I took a 4-hour ferry to El Nido, which was mostly fine but a little hair-raising at times. I was in El Nido this time last year, so I knew the basic town layout, meaning I could just walk the ten minutes from the ferry terminal to my hotel. 

Main street

El Nido is a tiny touristy place that is basically a whole area of bars, hotels and restaurants on a beach. It is pretty, but has developed a little of a 'Brits abroad' feeling in the last year. It's a bit of a double-edged sword in that the area needs the tourist money, but it loses itself in catering for the tourists. I like trying the local food and drink, which was a little harder to do in a town. Possibly just needed to head a little further out of town. I'll try again next year.

One day, I went on one of El Nido's day tours and had a repeat of the stunning but long day in Coron.

After a stunning few days in El Nido, I jumped on a plane to Vietnam for a few days.
