About this spot
The tour most people book first in El Nido. Your bangka weaves through Bacuit Bay's limestone karsts to Big Lagoon (kayak in on emerald water), Small Lagoon (swim or paddle through a narrow gap), and the tiny Secret Lagoon you squeeze into through a hole in the rock. Lunch is usually grilled seafood on a beach like Seven Commandos or Shimizu Island. Go early, bring a dry bag, and rent a kayak at the lagoons to beat the crowds.
