Why visit Palawan

Palawan is the long western island of the Philippines, and two of its sights draw most visitors. In the north, El Nido sits on Bacuit Bay, where outrigger boats weave between limestone islands to hidden lagoons, white beaches and coral gardens on a set of numbered day tours.

Further south, Puerto Princesa is the base for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where paddle boats carry you into a cave river that winds for kilometres under a limestone mountain before reaching the sea.

Highlights

  • El Nido's Big and Small Lagoons
  • Island hopping in Bacuit Bay
  • Secret Lagoon on Miniloc Island
  • The Underground River at Sabang
  • Limestone cliffs and white beaches
  • Sunsets over the South China Sea
