We have another marathon travel day ahead of us as we jump from the Philippines paradise here in El Nido, back to Manila for the better part of the day, and then jet off to Malaysia to mark our 22nd country visited in our worldwide travels. Even if all our flights depart on time, this journey gets us into Kuala Lumpur at 1am.

El Nido isn’t just one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines; it’s also one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. So we’re leaving our beachfront glamping tent for the day and heading out in search of adventure amongst the surrounding islands. But with so many hidden treasures to explore, which will be the most memorable?

It’s been 12 months since our first trip to the Philippines paradise of Palawan. But there’s an even more famous spot in this province and there’s no way we can go another year without seeing for ourselves how it compares.
