Philippines Honeymoon at Lagen Island El Nido
Visit Lagen Island El Nido>
El Nido is about 430 kilometres southwest of Manila, the Philippines capital and is a municipality of 18 villages located at the northwestern tip of the Palawan province in the Philippines. The most striking feature of El Nido is its massive limestone islands. Lagen Island is accessible only by boat. To get there you have a flight of about one hour from Manila, arriving at the small El Nido airport on a beautiful beach surrounded by tropical forest. From there you have a 50-minute scenic boat trip among the limestone islands to reach the resort.
Lagen Island is located on the eastern side of Bacuit Bay, and its land area of 310 hectares makes it the fourth biggest island in the marine reserve protected area. In one of the coves on the island is El Nido Lagen Island Resort, offering the best view of the bay and the sunset. It is the most luxurious resort in the area, and is the only resort on Lagen Island.
Lagen Island has 51 cottages and rooms, some built on stilts over the water, each with a verandah and furnished with natural materials. The hotel has an open-air buffet restaurant serving fresh seafood, local and European cuisine. This is a destination for those who want an active honeymoon, as there is so much to do including snorkelling and diving over protected reefs, windsurfing, exploring uninhabited islands and kayaking. On land, activities include hiking, rock climbing and exploring underground limestone caves. There is also plenty of bird and marine life to enjoy, and free mangrove tours.
Your honeymoon package includes seven nights accommodation, all meals and return flights to Manila via El Nido airport, plus return boat transfers from the airport to the island. This means you have a good idea how much money you can spend on extras. Your package also includes island hopping, fishing, an introductory scuba dive and the use of windsurfers and kayaks.
The El Nido region has many fascinating natural attractions, which include hidden lagoons, secret beaches, and cathedral-like caves. The water in Bacuit Bay is crystal-clear for most of the year and even non-divers will see sea
