Port Barton, Philippines
The second most popular island hopping destination from El Nido, Port Barton is
a world apart from its famous neighbour. That’s not to say that there aren’t
some wonderful beaches and dive sites around – far from it – but it isn’t as
spoiled and on first glance appears less touristy than El Nido. The main town,
on its bay with an airport, bustles with local life and you can still see rows
of wooden boats lining its colourful marina.

El Nido, Philippines
Located on Palawan Island in southwest Philippines, El Nido is a tranquil beach
town that’s popular with travelers. The beach is often described as being
picturesque, especially when viewed from atop one of its numerous limestone rock
formations. If you want to maximize your island-hopping experience, I recommend
spending at least two nights here.

Coron, Philippines
The main thing to know about Coron is that it’s not really one island; instead,
it’s three islands—Coron Island, Manlawi Island and Nakabuang Island—that are
just a short boat ride apart. This hop combines two of these islands for an
unforgettable day trip. Here's how to do it First, spend some time on Coron
Island itself. Walk around, check out its unique architecture (it looks like
every building is made from wood), eat at one of its restaurants or grab drinks
at Kappiya Bar & Grill. Then head over to Manlawi Island by way of local
fishermen’s boats (the kind with outboard motors). You can either negotiate a
price beforehand or pay once you arrive at your destination.
