Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Visit the capital of Palawan, which has been internationally recognised as the greenest city in the Philippines.

  • Prepare some delicious rice snacks at a local farm. Then, see swarms of glowing fireflies dance among the mangroves at dusk along the Iwahig River.

  • Set off on a full day of island hopping and snorkelling off the coast of El Nido and Port Barton. Look to the bottom of these clear waters and swim among the coral and tropical fish.

  • Enjoy plenty of free time to choose your own adventure. Maybe take a daytrip to the Nacpan Beach, cruise along the waters in a kayak or sit down to a drink (or two) at the many beachside restaurants.

  • Meet the Batak Tribe, one of about 70 Indigenous communities of the Philippines, on a leader-led hike to the Batak and Tagbanua Tribal village in Sitio Kawasan.
