We got Tour B---- Pinagbuyutan Island/ Snake Island/ Cudognon Cave/ Cathedral Cave/ Entalula Island
Our first stop is at Pinagbuyutan Island. Again, "Kuya Tour Guide" gave us 20 minutes to swim/snorkel.
Nothing much special about the beach, but we saw many fishes here.:)

And then twenty minutes have passed, Kuya Tour Guide called us back to the boat, and off we went to Snake Island--- our lunch site!
I was so very excited to see this place! It's like Virgin Island (in Bohol) but longer, stretches from one island to another.:)
And it didn't fail me! This is awesome!!! Picture-perfect!
I literally did a few cart wheel on the sand.:) Need proof?
This island is also best for some yoga session!
And after a few more cart wheels and photo op, we decided to trek the view deck. (Rhyming?)
So, this is what you will see there...

We went down hungry starving, but Kuya Tour Guide is still not finished with his work of art.
And so we waited a few more minutes for lunch time. But Mother nature tested our patience, just before we started eating our lunch, the rain poured, so we had no choice but to move everything from the shore to the boat.
Feast at the boat...exciting! Everything is awesome except for the "soup" fresh from the rain.:)
But it didn't stop us from enjoying what our Tour Guide and boat man prepared for us. Simu't sarap!
The rain stopped as we were about to finish our lunch. Timing!
After the sumptuous feast, we swam for a few minutes then hopped to our boat for our next destination...The Cudognon Cave.
One must to pass through a hole by crawling...and it wasn't an easy task! It's so hard that everyone forgot to take a picture. (That hard!)
But as they say..."No pain, no gain...No guts, no glory!"
TRUE!
Inside Cudognon Cave.
Kuya Tour Guide that this cave used to be the hideout of the local during the war. Because the place is very strategic, with lots of secret passages.
Can you find the Hidden Mickey with Donald Duck?
(Please tell me when you do. Hehe)
We didn't stay that long, afraid that there's snakes and unknown creatures so we asked Kuya Tour Guide to bring us back to the boat.
Coming out of the cave is a different story. One had to pull himself up and roll to get out. Luckily! We all came out alive and kicking!
Off to our next destination!
Cathedral Cave, is called as such because the entrance looks like the entrance of the church. When you take a look on the inside, it's as if there's an altar.:)

It was still raining when we arrived there that's why as much as we all wanted to do snorkeling, we just opted to go to the final stop---- Entalula Island.
I noticed that there's a "Private sign" on the island but it's still open to tourists.
We later found out that our tour guide in Puerto Princesa owns the island. (There are some issues with the El Nido officials but we're all hoping that in the end, they can get their fair share of the island.)
Since it's our last day in El Nido and having been exploring a number of islands since yesterday, we, the girls just decided to do some "girl talk" while the boyfies went snorkeling.
A few minutes had passed and we were on our way back to our hotel to freshen up and prepare for a six-hour journey back to Puerto Princesa!
Goodbye, El Nido! Until next adventure!
