Hidden Beaches and Hungry Fish: El Nido Tour C

Day 8 was pure magic. We set off on El Nido’s Tour C with snorkels and packed lunches, skimming across glassy water to Hidden Beach and Talisayen Bay. Sea turtles glided beneath us, the kids shrieked as curious fish nipped their fins, and we squeezed through secret tunnels into sunlit lagoons. Lunch of grilled fish and rice on a spit of sand tasted better than any restaurant meal. Watching our boys explore coral gardens was a reminder of why we travel together: shared wonder.

Family travel tip: When booking island tours in El Nido, choose reputable operators who provide life jackets for children and keep snorkel groups small. Pack reef‑safe sunscreen, rash guards and plenty of water. Aggressive fish love shiny jewelry—leave it at the hotel!
