Worth agreeing on before you meet

Ocean Respect

Don't touch, stand on, or collect coral. Don't chase or touch sea turtles. Maintain distance from marine life. The reefs are El Nido's lifeblood and damage is permanent — snorkel and dive with care.

Filipino Warmth

Filipinos are among the friendliest people on earth. Greet with a smile and "Kamusta!" (How are you?). Accept invitations to eat — sharing food is central to Filipino culture. Don't refuse politely offered food.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the El Nido travel guide.
