Helicopter Island (Dilumacad Island) in El Nido, Philippines, is renowned for its unique helicopter-like shape and pristine white sand beach. It's a popular destination for snorkeling and diving, with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Accessibility involves boat tours, which can sometimes be challenging for individuals with mobility issues due to boarding vessels. Solo visits are possible by joining group tours; however, guided tours are recommended to ensure safe navigation and access to the best snorkeling spots. The peak season is from November to May, while the rainy season (June to October) may bring cancellations due to rough seas. A typical visit, usually part of an island hopping tour, lasts a few hours and costs approximately $20-$40, including boat transportation and snorkeling gear. Be aware of strong currents while swimming and snorkeling.
