For the few weeks, I have written about Minoloc Island and Lagen Island. But now, we will explore another island in El Nido – the Apulit Island. Apulit Island is one of the tropical paradises that are located in Northern Palawan. Along with the other Islands, which are rich in natural limestone formations, luscious forest, and white sand beaches, Apulit will not be left behind because this Island is the perfect place for tropical getaways.

I asked my friends if there are very affordable hotels in Palawan, and they said that I don’t have to worry about that. There are hotels on the main municipality and there are other places to stay within the different Islands.

I have read a review about Apulit Island and it makes me really want to go there. They said that you can get lost in the beauty of the island because its forest is untouched. Aside from that, the white sand beaches are really great for relaxation and having fun with family and friends. There other interesting activities too, like cave adventures, snorkeling, and gazing at the intact coral formations.

The tropical feel of the Island can be experienced because its white sand beach is lined with many coconut trees. You can enjoy sunbathing, beach games, sand castle building and many beach-related activities.

The Island is also blessed with much wildlife that can be observed within the island premises. Be amazed at the many colorful tropical fishes and scenic landscapes. Occasionally, there are small reef sharks that can be seen as you do snorkel near the cottages in the resort area. The west side is an advisable for that activity. Rappelling can also be enjoyed with the 60 meters high limestone cliffs with a rewarding view of the cove as you reach the top.

How to go there:

Because I really want to go there, I have searched the directions on how to go there. From Manila, it will take approximately 55-60 minutes using air flight to reach the Lio Airport. Afterwards, you will take a 30 minutes van ride to go to Taytay Town Port. And from the town proper, a boat ride will be required to reach the Apulit Island.

Another alternative travelling to go to Apulit is through the Puerto Princesa Airport. And from there, a shuttle ride going to Taytay town proper is required. It leaves the airport at 10 A.M and arrives at the town proper at 2:30 P.M.

I can’t wait to book a flight to experience this wonderful tropical paradise. See you Palawan!
