What we love about Hidden Beach is that you access it through a secret entrance, a small rocky opening that you can swim through. Your guide will help show you where to go.

Sometimes little baby reef sharks come to visit, plus there is good snorkelling here. So bring your snorkelling gear!

If you are not a strong swimmer, don't worry, you wear a life jacket and can ask your guide for help.

Fun fact: Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the movie "The Beach" which features scenes from this very beach!

TO ACCESS:

Hidden Beach is only accessible via boat on an island-hopping tour, which can be private or pre-made (tours A, B, C, D):

• Pre-made: Hidden Beach is included in Tour C, like this one. This pre-made tour often includes other spots like Secret Beach, Matinloc Shrine, and Helicopter Island. These tours are cheaper than private ones but you won't be able to avoid crowds.

• Private tours: We prefer this as you can avoid crowds, choose the spots you'll go to, and the experience is more personalised.

It's a bit more pricey if you're travelling solo or as a couple, but it can actually be cheaper than the pre-made tours if you're a group of 4-6!

If you like to have everything pre-organised and pre-paid, this provider has a private tour option.

But honestly, you'll probably get better deals in town.

There are plenty of providers and all the times we've been there they all quote very similar prices, so you shouldn't get ripped off.
