Henri @ Secret Beach, Matinloc Island

Perfect bonfire night alone in the secret beach

Have you been to this kind of similar place?  How would you like SILENCE and no electricity?  For a city girl like me, I think it is “todellaki” absolutely amazing.  Every time I travel to work, I savor the silence in my head.  I love the early morning silence.  On top of that, no traffic. 

behind these cliffs is the secret beach beauty

Hi mommies & bff's! As you know, Philippines is a capital tourist destination especially when it comes to beaches.  El Nido tops the list.  

Here's a Chat blog as tourist testimonial I wanna share to everyone and feature a Finnish guy friend, Henri Saarenpaa whom I met in my Hundred Island adventure.  He's a solo traveler who happens to fall in love with Philippines.  

Here's he's first-hand experience with Seven Commando's beach, El Nido.

TESTIMONIAL ITINERARY

On the 3rd day - SECRET BEACH West of MATINLOC ISLAND.  

As the name goes, it was QUIET there. 

Henri: “beach was awesome!!! No tourist, just us and silence. No electricity…I like it!”

Enjoying the cozy and hanging hammocks

Its worth taking the trek

You can go to this Secret Beach when you book the Island Hopping Tour C.  Packages usually offer 5 islands.  Just choose for this. Some bloggers have this as their number 1 because of the paradisiacal effect when you swim thru the cliffs.  Henri had not brought an underwater camera then so no pictures were taken but mostly these.  

The lagoon inside after you swim thru can only fit 10 to 15 people.  Henri and his company were 8. So just perfect!  

Me:  "How about the food Henri?  Are you loving the food there?"  
Henri:  “yes! Of course I am…it’s nice…but no wifi… ”

The wise and thinking Henri

In relation to that - On March 19th, 8:30 pm, we will have the worldwide “Earth Hour” again. Have you heard of this?  This is an environment program to help mother earth by turning OFF all the lights just for an hour.  This is studied to aid mother earth.   Let’s conserve energy and be wise!
