El Nido ยท Sports & events

SPORT & SEASON
Basketball on the barangay courts, diving in the dry months, and a cliff with iron rungs.
Aerial view of El Nido's lagoons
Barangay basketball
Every barangay has a covered court and a league; games run most evenings, free to watch, and the PBA plays on every bar television.
Taraw Cliff via ferrata
Iron rungs and cables up the limestone spine behind town, climbed at dawn with a guide. Dry months, roughly November to May, only. Not for vertigo.
Diving and freediving
Dive shops in town run courses and reef trips year-round; visibility and sea state settle in the dry season, roughly November to May.
Fiesta boat races
The town fiesta in the dry season brings outrigger racing, beach volleyball and inter-barangay basketball finals along the seafront.
