💡 Tips

  • Rent a kayak to explore nearby limestone coves independently of the major boat tours.
  • Withdraw enough cash in El Nido town, as there are no ATMs available in Bebeladan.
  • Be prepared for limited electricity hours (usually evening only) in smaller local guesthouses.
  • Book boat tours locally; they often start earlier than those from El Nido to beat the crowds.
  • Bring a dry bag for your belongings, as getting on and off boats in shallow coves often involves wading through water.
