El Nido is a beautiful place filled with various attractions in mother nature. One of these attractions include the Nagkalit-Kalit Falls. Parking is as another person said in front of a random hut. HOWEVER I do not recommend this place to foreigners as the people who run the place wanted to charge us a lot per head. Since my family is also Filipino and speaks fluent Tagalog, they were able to haggle for a better price. Sadly some attractions do take advantage of foreigners and their inability to speak Tagalog. If you don't mind the cost, then the place offers an interesting hike through various streams and rivers. They provide free walking sticks for everyone to help them maintain balance during this hike. You do not keep the sticks though so remember to give them back at the end of your tour.
Due to the uneven pathing and rivers, I would recommend coming here prepared. Do not wear your cute dress or favorite white shoes. It will get dirty here quick. Instead, put on some water sandals that are a must have for this occasion. Be cautious of bugs and make sure you have your mosquito lotion on. During the hike, a bee tried to sting me and had to be thwarted away by my partner's walking stick. COME HERE EARLY. You do not want to be here when it is dark. We were unable to see the full waterfall as it was already late. Our tour guide instead showed us the smaller version of it. In order to see the full view, it would require more time and for us to climb up the hill using a rope. However, my grandma was part of this trip and we were not sure if it was safe for her. I would say this hike is not meant for the elderly. Even though my grandma did it, she did slip at one point and we were lucky that she was caught. But for those who are experts in hiking, then this is actually pretty easy for you. Overall, as someone who enjoys hiking, this was a pleasant experience. Sadly, I went during the rainy season so the trails were muddy and less stable. Hopefully other visitors have an easier trek to the waterfalls.
