This photo has not been retouched. And ironically, when we pulled into Secret Lagoon (yep - that’s the actual name), no one was there. I expected hordes of tourists, but it lived up to its name. You can book a 3-day boat tour with several companies. I went with Abandon Paradise Expeditions. It was incredible. Deserted beaches, tent camping, and a guy who speared and then cooked fish over an open fire while we drank rum. El Nido’s a must-see in the Philippines.
