EL NIDO ISLAND HOPPING AND SNORKELING

One major activity in El Nido aside from scuba diving (which i do not have a budget for now) is island hopping.  We got the package A and C since as recommended by most travel bloggers.  It was a total of 3 days 2 nights trip and we just can't get enough.

The weather was not that good since it's raining but thanks to my water proof camera I was able to take some pictures.  

We booked our island hopping with Lagoon Tours owned by Kuya Harvey (thanks to angel of LAKWATSERO) we did get a very good  rate for the entire 2 day trip . (low season yehey!!!)

The Alternative Inn - for a breath taking view rates are a little bit higher but worth it
