The Helicopter Island

The title itself says it all. This is one of the islands that you can see in El Nido and it is indeed looks like a helicopter.

It really resembles as a helicopter shape yet it is also commonly referred as the whale island.

 Yet it is actually named as Dilumacad Island that has a considerable stretch of white sand beach and you can also find an underwater tunnel right at its northern tip.

    I hope the island won’t fly away too. => It’s another great attraction we have in the Philippines.

    Anybody with wild imagination
    may interpret the shape of this island.
    It’s more of a whale shape I think.

    it sure does look like a helicopter. the only thing lacking are the rotor blades..if sa whale, ang tail ang kulang. thanks for dropping by sir.

    I was reminded of a similar island near Dimakya, also in Palawan…those islands are really pieces of paradise, would be so nice to spend a day there enjoying the view and blueness of the water.
