Hidden Beaches and Matinloc Shrine Trip

  • 5 reviews | 60 travellers
    The crew is very good, the guide is friendly and fun, but be careful with the description of the tour, it is misleading. The Mantinloc Sanctuary is no longer visited since the pandemic due to having dangerous mosquitoes depending on the day and t Eli they change for a lagoon on tour D. They keep announcing it everywhere and it is not like that

Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the restaurant Jarace Grill and then head to the pier at El Nido, where a boat will be waiting to take us on a magical trip to the so-called 'hidden beaches'.

The first destination of the tour will be the Hidden Beach, where you discover serene turquoise waters surrounded by picturesque cliffs and abundant wild greenery. After, we sail among dense green forests to the mystical Matinloc Shrine which was built in 1982 in honor of the Virgin Mary.

Then we'll go to Talisay Island, where you'll have some free time to take a dip in the crystal clear waters and re-energise. Afterwards, we'll head to the Secret Beach and Dilumacad Island, also called Helicopter Island. Want to know why?

Finally, we'll make our way back to the port of El Nido. After almost 8 hours of activity, we'll say our goodbyes back at the starting point.
