Palawan & Coron: Underground Rivers, Snorkeling & Island Hopping

Puerto Princesa → Coron 9 days Up to 18

About this trip

Nine days moving through Palawan and Coron, built around water — an underground river, a day of snorkelling in El Nido, and a proper island-hopping expedition to finish.

The centrepiece is a two-night boat journey from El Nido to Coron, sleeping on islands along the way rather than rushing between them.

It's a small-group trip with a simple, unhurried rhythm — beaches, boats, and basic huts rather than resorts.

What you'll do

  • Explore Palawan's underground river
  • Spend a full day snorkelling in El Nido's waters
  • Island-hop by boat from El Nido to Coron over two nights
  • Sleep on deserted beaches in thatch huts
  • Travel as a small group throughout
Good to know
  • Easy-paced trip suited to those happy with simple, rustic accommodation on the islands
  • The two-night island-hopping leg means basic facilities rather than hotel comforts
