About this trip
Ten days through Palawan's western coast, moving between beaches, limestone islands, and small coastal towns. The pace mixes proper adventure with plenty of time to just sit on a beach and do nothing.
You'll island-hop through some of the country's most photographed waters, spend a night camping under the stars on a private beach, and get hands-on with local life through a cooking session and a go at climbing coconut trees.
It's built for a group that wants both — the UNESCO-listed Underground River and El Nido's cliffs for the wow factor, Port Barton's calmer waters when you just want to float and unwind.

- Visit the UNESCO-listed Underground River
