フィリピン人の彼女をパラワン島エルニドに連れて行った…第一印象

Is El Nido, Palawan truly the most beautiful place in the world? After 25 years of traveling through Thailand, I finally made it to Palawan in the Philippines to give you my honest first impressions of El Nido! And I’m even more excited to introduce you to my filipina girlfriend, Ann!

From the Cebu to Puerto Princesa flight to the grueling 6-hour van ride to El Nido, we’re breaking down the logistics, costs, and “real vibes” of this world-famous destination. We rented a motorbike and headed north to the legendary Nacpan Beach to see if the “waves are wavy” and if those $8 massages are actually worth the journey. I Brought My Filipina Girlfriend to El Nido Palawan and these are our First Impressions.

🌴 WHAT’S IN THIS VIDEO:

Travel Logistics: Our route from Cebu ➔ Puerto Princesa ➔ El Nido (The 6-hour van struggle).

El Nido Town Guide: Expensive hotels vs. the limestone cliff views.

Nacpan Beach Review: Is this 4km white sand beach the best in Palawan?

Food & Costs: BBQ chicken, mango smoothies, and why “Rice is Life” in the Philippines.

The “A-Team”: Introducing my lovely girlfriend Ann and her local perspective as a Filipina from Dumaguete as we explore El Nido Palawan in 2026.

📍 EL NIDO LOCATIONS & PRICES:

Motorbike Rental: 500 PHP to 1200 PHP/Day

Nacpan Beach Entry: Motorbike parking (20 PHP).

Beach Comfort: 500 PHP for a cabana/umbrella.

Relaxation: 500 PHP ($8 USD) for a 1-hour beach massage.

Town Vibe: El Nido Town Beach (free) – great for food, sunset drinks and live music.

El Nido wasn’t all perfect blue water and easy roads—the prices were high and the clouds rolled in—but sharing this first day together made it worth it. What do you think of our first day together?

  1. Finally! I’m so excited for you all to meet Ann! She was a little nervous about her big debut, so please show her some love and a warm welcome in the comments below! ❤

    El Nido Palawan was such a mix of emotions for our first trip—from the stunning views to rough roads and 2026 prices. It wasn’t a 'perfect' postcard day, but it was an honest one and I’m so happy to share it with you!

    Question for you guys: Have you ever had a trip where the 'reality' (like the weather or the roads) was different than you expected, but it still turned out to be a great memory? Let us know your stories in the comments! 👇
