We spent 3 days (Day 21-23) in Puerto Princesa, Palawan in the Region of MiMaRoPa, where we got the chance to lay eyes on the world-famous underground river. On top of that, we were able to lure around the beautiful beaches and historical sites on motorbike. Our 3-day island experience on this stunning haven gave us enough reasons to head towards the Northernmost tip of Palawan and get mesmerized with El Nido for another 2 days (Day 24-25).

Travel Diary for Day 24-25:

Day 25: How do we Explore Nacpan Beach by Motorbike?

17 March:

We allowed ourselves to get more sleep than usual, because we felt we needed it. Ricgem Place in El Nido Bacuit, our accommodation, is situated in a quiet area on the island. So, resting comfortably was never a problem. Another thing that we love about this budget place is the extraordinary service and the friendly competent staff.

For this day (Day 25), we rented two motorbikes, and started to go north for our tour exploring El Nido by motorbike. First, we headed to the deserted Lio Beach, located 6 kilometers North of El Nido proper, and approximately a 30 minutes drive.

As a perfect place to relax from the bustling city life, this white sand-spanned beach offers a handful of accommodation, activities, and food choices. There were big construction projects going on around the area at that time. New resorts were built to meet the continuously increasing tourism visits in Palawan.

How do we Enjoy the Relaxing Beach of Nacpan?

We left Lio Beach and drove for approximately 40 minutes to see what awaits us in Nacpan Beach. This powdery paradise is located around 17 kilometers away from El Nido town center. The beautiful 4-kilometer stretch of crystal clear azure water and cream-colored sand beach is ideal for swimming, relaxing with friends, or enjoying a few drinks.

Aside from a few simple restaurants and stalls around, there were bungalows for rent right on the beach for a comfortable night stay. Bodyboarding and beach volleyball are activities that will make your Nacpan experience more enjoyable. We then set up the camera to take some great photos of the unbelievable sunset.

It got darker, so we rode back to our accommodation in El Nido. Traveling at night is only recommended for experienced motorbikers. Fortunately, we have working lights, so we ride proactively with full focus.

What are the Top Things to do in El Nido?

Planning for an El Nido trip, yet you do not have an idea on what to do on this astonishing island? Here’s a catch. This laid-back town on the northern part of the island of Palawan is the finest place to start exploring the oceanside cliffs and gorgeous white sand beaches in the Bacuit archipelago. When night falls, the town transforms into a great destination to sip a cocktail on the beach while grooving to Reggae music. Here are some activities that you should include on your travel list.
