About This Tour

A 14-day private route through Palawan — the UNESCO-listed Puerto Princesa Underground River, Port Barton's island-hopping, El Nido's lagoons and cliffs, and Coron's shipwreck diving and karst lakes. This trip includes a domestic flight from Manila to Puerto Princesa (day 2) to reach Palawan, plus a boat crossing from Duli to Coron (day 11) — the only practical ways to link Palawan's regions — alongside your private driver and vehicle for every ground-transport day.
