Hidden Beach in El Nido, Philippines, is a secluded cove on Matinloc Island, accessible exclusively via organized island-hopping tours, most commonly Tour C. To reach the beach, visitors typically need to swim through a narrow crevice or wade through shallow water, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues or requiring wheelchair access. Guided visits are mandatory as part of a tour; solo visits are impractical and costly. The ideal time to visit is during the dry season from November to May, as rough seas in the wet season (June to October) can lead to tour cancellations. The approximate cost is bundled into the island-hopping tour, usually ranging from 1200-1500 PHP per person, plus a 200 PHP Environmental Fee and an additional island fee, covering lunch and snorkeling gear. While the full tour lasts 6-8 hours, the typical duration spent at Hidden Beach itself is about 30-60 minutes. Visitors should be prepared for potential crowds, bring waterproof bags for belongings, and enjoy the stunning clear waters and pristine sands.
