What should I pack when moving to El Nido?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in El Nido to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to El Nido, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. A swimsuit is a must-have as El Nido is famous for its beautiful beaches. You should also pack a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Footwear should include comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town and flip-flops for the beach. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring along your toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it might be best to bring them with you. Pack any necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. If you plan on using electronic devices, remember to pack the necessary chargers and adapters as the Philippines uses a different plug type. Lastly, don't forget important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case of loss or theft," wrote a member who made the move to El Nido, Philippines.
