Palawan Island: Caves, Beaches & Eye-Popping Sunsets

Puerto Princesa → El Nido 5 days Up to 22

About this trip

Palawan's reputation is built on scenery like this — limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons and water so clear it barely looks real. This five-day trip covers the two big draws, Puerto Princesa's Underground River and the island-hopping around El Nido, with a small group and a guide handling the logistics.

It's an easy-paced trip built around a couple of standout days rather than constant movement, so there's room to actually enjoy the places rather than just tick them off.

What you'll do

  • Boat through the Puerto Princesa Underground River
  • Snorkel the reefs and coves around El Nido
  • Visit Secret Beach and Hidden Beach by boat
  • Island-hop between Palawan's limestone karst islands
  • Catch sunset over the bay
Good to know
  • Easy pace, suited to those who want a relaxed island trip rather than a packed itinerary
  • Private rooms throughout, so no dorm-sharing
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year, worth booking with that timing in mind
