Alucard: Thank you, Alpha. I'm here at the picturesque beaches of El Nido and the beauty of this
place is truly mesmerizing. If you’re planning a trip to El Nido, island hopping is a must-do
experience. Discover hidden lagoons, pristine beaches, and stunning rock formations such as
Duli Beach and Hike Taraw Cliff as you hop from one island to another by renting a kayak.

Try their Chicken Inasal, Crocodile Sisig, and of course, our very own halo-halo.
As you pack for your trip, remember to bring essentials like sunscreen, swimwear,
comfortable footwear for island hopping, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while
exploring. You may include arranging tours with licensed operators for island hopping
adventures and water activities. Respect the environment by practicing responsible tourism and
leaving no trace behind. A moderate budget for a 4-5 day trip to El Nido would range from
P24,000-P30,000, depending on your choice of accommodation, activities, and dining
preferences.
Whether you're seeking relaxation on pristine beaches or adrenaline-pumping water
activities, El Nido has it all. This is ___, back to you.

Franco: Thank you, Argus. The beauty of Boracay Island is indeed breathtaking. Except for its
fine beach, I have already explored the vibrant nightlife scene in Boracay, with beachfront bars
and live music adding to the island's lively atmosphere. Boracay is also the ultimate water sports
playground. From helmet diving, snorkeling and cliff jumping, to parasailing, sunset cruising,
learning kitesurfing and parasailing, biplane adventure, and buggy car. If you want to experience
the beach with the sunniest weather, you may want to book from March to May for as long as
your pockets can take you. Now, if you are from here, the cheapest way to get from Tablas
Island to Boracay Island is to ferry and Local Bangka Boat which costs ₱600 - ₱3,400 and takes 3
hours and a half. Boracay boasts a wide range of accommodation options, from luxurious
beachfront resorts to charming guesthouses and budget-friendly hostels, such as La Carmela de
Boracay Hotel. Boracay offers a diverse culinary experience, from freshly caught seafood served
at beachside restaurants to international cuisines at various dining spots along the famous
White Beach. Have a taste of their Halomango. A dessert spot featuring mango fruits, Seafood
Paluto. Cocktails and many cold foods. Dining under the stars with the sound of waves as your
background music is an experience not to be missed. Dining under the stars with the sound of
