El Nido and Palawan in 360°

The Palawan archive uses 360° video to preserve both the destination and the movement between places: streets, beaches, boat trips, lagoons, island stops and local transport. That combination is useful because El Nido is as much about moving between water, town and islands as it is about any single viewpoint.
