Ziplining in El Nido

Ziplining in El Nido, Palawan: a real adrenaline rush high above the green hills and clear sea, and something we'd tell anyone visiting to try.

The zip line gave us a proper adrenaline rush. It starts at Las Cabanas Beach, just outside El Nido town, and runs for about 750 metres over the sea to Depeldet Island.

Whizzing high above the green hills and the clear water of Bacuit Bay is the closest we’ll get to flying, and we’d say it’s well worth doing in El Nido. It made a change from seeing the bay at sea level on the boat tours.

Good to know

  • The zip line: it runs about 750m from Las Cabanas Beach to Depeldet Island.

We checked these details in October 2026. Times, prices and rules do change, so it’s worth a quick look at the official sites before you go.
