Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in El Nido?
The best activities to do in El Nido are island hopping tours, kayaking in Bacuit Bay, and relaxing on its many pristine beaches.

Island hopping tours are a must-do, as they're the primary way to explore the stunning limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, and white-sand beaches of Bacuit Bay. There are several standard tours (A, B, C, D), each visiting different spots like the Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Secret Beach, and Shimizu Island. These tours typically include lunch, making for a full and enjoyable day out on the water. This is superb for couples and groups who want to see the iconic landscapes and enjoy swimming and snorkelling.

For those who prefer a more independent and active experience, kayaking is an excellent option, especially around Bacuit Bay. You can rent kayaks from many resorts or tour operators and paddle to nearby islands or secluded coves at your own pace. This allows for a more private exploration of the calm waters and limestone formations, offering a peaceful alternative to the group tours. It's a great choice for adventurous couples or solo travellers looking for a bit of exercise and discovery.

Finally, simply relaxing on one of El Nido's beautiful beaches is a wonderful way to spend your time. Nacpan Beach, just a short drive from El Nido town, is famous for its long stretch of golden sand and clear waters, making it ideal for sunbathing and swimming. Other accessible beaches include Las Cabanas Beach, known for its stunning sunsets.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in El Nido as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in El Nido for you.
