Overview
Set inside Miniloc Island, Big Lagoon is a vast emerald lagoon ringed by 30 m limestone cliffs in a full 360-degree wall — one of the world's most fantastical scenes. Rent a kayak to glide across the glassy surface, with deeper sections suitable for diving. As the centerpiece of El Nido's Tour A, a single photo here can sum up a whole Palawan trip. Admission about PHP 200 (tour extra). About 20 minutes by boat from El Nido town.
