RequestPalawan Island Getaway
Beach escape
Save
Travel from Manila to Palawan on an eight-day beach-focused trip that combines coastal scenery, island time and a few well-known cultural stops along the way. Start in Puerto Princesa, where a visit to a local farm and an evening firefly cruise on the Iwahig River give the journey a gentle pace. In Sabang, take a boat through the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. Continue to Port Barton for island hopping, snorkelling and a traditional fishing demonstration, then finish in El Nido with more time on the water and free time to explore at your own pace. The itinerary also leaves room for unstructured time in each place. In Palawan, travel can feel slower than in larger cities, and restaurant service or transfers may take longer during busy periods. That is part of the rhythm of the destination.
