This solo trip represents not just an opportunity to explore a beautiful destination but also a chance for my personal growth and discovery. Join me as I take the leap from dreamer to adventurer, ready to embrace all that El Nido has to offer on this unforgettable solo journey.

After I had my snack, I turned to Ninoy Aquino International Airport for the next steps of my journey. Pulling out my documents, I prepare for my flight to El Nido, Palawan. Ensuring my IDs, plane ticket, and any necessary documents, I double-check everything to ensure a smooth boarding process.

I booked my ticket with AirSwift Airlines

After an hour and thirty minutes, I arrived at Lio Airport in Palawan. The island's beauty is that it's not only beautiful but also a clean place. Palawan has a natural landscape: beautiful rock formations, mountains, beaches, and islands.

At 9 am in the morning, I arrived at La Salangane Caalan Beach Villa. After I arranged my things, I went out to order breakfast. After having breakfast, I go back to the hotel, where I rest for a few hours because I was also tired from the flight.

I woke up at 2 pm and took a shower before heading out to buy my lunch. I opted to dine outside for my meal. After finishing my lunch, I decided to take a stroll around Palawan to admire its beauty.
While walking around, I searched for tour guides whom I could accompany on a tour. After careful consideration, I chose to visit Maniloc Island, Paglugaban Island, and Seven Commandos Beach in Mimaropa. Once I had arranged the tour, I returned home to prepare for the excursion scheduled for the next day. My excitement to explore and experience the beauty of Palawan was more than I was in love with.

MAREMEGMEG

Maremegmeg is a tree that lives for 100 years, and it remains alive and healthy. This tree is so beautiful that it is truly amazing to see it in person.

After touring the island, we dive into the crystal-clear water. Here, you'll find the water so clear that it feels like being in a giant aquarium, with fish swimming close enough to see and touch.

While we were swimming, my tour guide taught me some tricks underwater. It was so good that I thought it was only possible with a vape. It was very enjoyable.

Snorkeling in the sea is incredibly beautiful and clean, with different kinds of fish such as nemo or clownfish, as well as vibrant corals. It's a good experience while snorkeling. After swimming, we go to the last island. But before that, we had our lunch. It was very enjoyable because we ate on the boat while in the ocean, and the food was also very good. The dishes were fresh, especially the seafood, fish, and fruits.

After we ate lunch, we went to the last island. After the tour, we returned to the hotel. I really enjoyed this tour, and I met some new friends. After an hour, I arrived at the hotel and rested. It was tiring, but I really enjoyed the tour.

The next day, the day we return to Manila, I'm so sad because I miss Palawan. I will miss the beautiful places and the clean beach. For those who want to visit Palawan, don't delay. It's time to go to El Nido, Palawan, and experience the beauty of Palawan.

As they say, money will return, but memories will remain forever.

PS: All of the photos were personally taken from my own camera using an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Palawan is one of my bucket lists. I remember my late sister had a free tour for winning the blogging contest. She and my parents traveled there all for free. Amazing place!

Yan ang isa sa mga lugar na gusto kung balikan, Ang dami na siguro nagbago jan, 6 years ago na din ang nakalipas. Thanks for the libreng pasyal.

I always visit El Nido from 2014 to 2019. and I lived in Puerto Princesa from 2017 to 2019. :D

This was a beautiful adventure, you guys have so many beautiful islands in the Philippines. Great shots you got.
