The island is also called Helicopter Island because its limestone cliffs resemble that of a helicopter when it is viewed from a considerable distance. Helicopter Island or Dilumacad Island has a beautiful white sand beach stretching to some 300 meters that is ideal for picnic lunches during island hopping trips. There is an underwater tunnel at its northern side and a fringing reef on its southern end. Read More:  http://philippinesplace.blogspot.com/2012/11/helicopter-island.html

The island gets its name from its shape which resembles a helicopter.  This is on one side of Helicopter Island.  The rocks create a different look and texture to your beach photos.

Unknown to many, this island is actually frequented by a couple of Pawikan Turtles.  They feed on the sea bed just by the edge before the floor slopes steeply.  You’ll have to swim a little farther out than usual just to spot them but once you do, you’ll be greatly rewarded.  It’s an opportunity to see the turtles feeding on their natural environment.   Ask your boatman to help you spot them.  The guides at El Nido Boutique and Art Cafe are great at spotting them.  Read More:   http://myfriendsunjun.blogspot.com/2012/06/el-nido-island-hopping-tour-c-el-nido.html
