Things to Do in Apulit Island Resort - Day 3 Activities at El Nido Resorts Palawan

I believe a major difference between Miniloc / Lagen island Resort to Apulit Island Resort (all operated by El Nido Resorts) is that when you stay at the latter, almost all the days will be spent on the island itself because of the numerous activities available to do at your own schedule (you can even arrange for guides a day before, sometimes on the day itself). This is the third and last installment of my trip where we did a beach picnic, kayaking, snorkeling, a daredevil limestone climbing stunt, rapelling and a bit more.

El Nido Resorts Apulit Palawan Tour Day 2 - Island Hopping Isla Blanca, Family Rooms and Other Things to Do at Apulit Island Resort

I've written about the many things I wanted to do at Apulit Island Resort given the chance. Alas! I was able to go there and experience it for myself (I got to cross a lot of things on that list!). One thing I've found out is the tranquility that the place provides given its remote location. Some may say that one should try all the activities if you go that far. This time around, we let nature and our moods take its course. For we went there both to explore, to relax and just take in what's in front of us at that particular moment and season in time. Island hopping was on the list, of course (but one is just enough for me), enough personal space and bonding with the family. I spent the rest of the day chillin' under the shade and comforts of the veranda of my water cottage while I await the newest baby of our extended family. I welcomed them and showed them the family room like I own the place hahaha.

Apulit Island Palawan Itinerary Day 1 - The El Nido Resorts Experience and Getting There

I spent a Christmas holiday at the El Nido Resorts-managed Apulit Island, formerly known as Club Noah. It is located a bit farther than the Miniloc and Lagen Island Resorts but still in Palawan. What's good about going during holidays are the numerous festivities and activities for the guests. Our first day was spent on flying from Manila, boat transfers, land transfers, settling in and enjoying the afternoon and night there.

DIY Palawan Trip - Kayangan Lake, Coron Island Ultimate Tour, Maquinit Hot Springs, Lolo Nonoy's Food Station

A few years ago before blogging, circa 2008, I went to Palawan for the first time and fell in love with Coron. It's one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines for me and I said I would definitely come back. There was a difference in experience from the first and this last. As with most of my repeat trips, I was back there but it's always not the same. There are these little things that make a difference, my now developed passion that is travel blogging, the fact that I was the one who organized this Palawan trip and I was with another set of friends. I will make another post next on that old trip for fun hahaha. Read all about that old Coron trip here. Don't blame me if I can't tell you where it is exactly (definitely in Coron though), if my face is everywhere (I don't use cameras that much at that time) and my hair was like 3 inches long only there BTW hehe. This post is Part 2 of my latest DIY Coron Trip. I suggest you read from Day 1 or from Part 1 of this Day 2 to get the whole picture.
