About This Trip

Imagine turquoise seas lapping at powdery white sand, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, painted by a riot of colours as the sun sets. This is every day in the Palawan. We have created a sublime trip that immerses you in this slice of paradise, where you will be surrounded by the extreme beauty of the Philippines' otherworldly coast and islands. Palawan’s dramatic landscapes, warm hospitality and kaleidoscope of marine life make it one of the most enchanting destinations you can visit, a place to unwind, adventure, and fall hopelessly in love with.

 

We have crafted an itinerary that is a perfect blend of wonder and ease. We begin in Puerto Princesa, a wonderland of natural beauty. Here we will glide through the Underground River, one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, as stalactites and otherworldly caverns reveal a hidden, ancient world. We have built in plenty of leisurely days to relax at your luxurious hotel and soak in all the tropical beauty of Puerto Princesa, before a scenic land transfer to El Nido, where the real island‑hopping magic begins.

 

Our El Nido island-hopping tour combines dreamy action and stunning locations to chill in equal measure. In Big Lagoon and Secret Lagoon, we will glide through crystalline waters by kayak. On Shimizu Island, we will snorkel among vivid coral gardens, and the breathtaking Seven Commando Beach is a postcard‑perfect finale to a tour quite like no other. With expert English‑speaking guides, shared boat lunches on sun‑drenched islets and free days to laze on the shore or seek further adventures, our package delivers unforgettable moments, more importantly, at a relaxed pace.

highlights

First off, we have to talk about the Puerto Princesa Underground River. This is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime encounter with one of nature’s most impressive subterranean theatres. We will glide in a small boat beneath soaring stalactites and through shadowed caverns as an expert guide paints a picture of ancient limestone formations and the delicate ecosystems they shelter. Its status as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature makes the visit feel momentous, but the experience is truly intimate. Expect a hush of awe, unforgettable photo moments and a real sense of discovery that you will rave about long after they return home.

 

And then there is the scenery. Everyone loves a beach scene, that little slice of paradise to sink into. Take this idea and multiply it by 1000! Palawan’s scenery reads like a nature lover’s fantasy, with towering limestone karsts, secret lagoons tucked behind narrow entrances, and powdery beaches fringed by swaying palms. When we island-hop in El Nido, our local guides will open up secluded coves, coral gardens teeming with life and viewpoints where the horizon stretches uninterrupted. It’s the kind of raw, untouched beauty that restores the spirit and makes every moment feel like a rare gift.


location

After landing in Manila, you jump on an internal flight that takes you to Puerto Princesa in Palawan province, where you will be met by our local guide. Then, after a few days in paradise, you will be transferred to El Nido for a few more days of exploring this delightful region.
