Palawan, Philippines

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Palawan is an elongated island province in the western Philippines, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It is home to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Tubbataha Reef Natural Park, a premier diving destination in Southeast Asia. El Nido and Coron are its most visited areas, drawing travellers with dramatic limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, crystal-clear waters, and some of the best island-hopping and snorkelling in the region. Palawan's relatively unspoiled environment and diverse marine biodiversity make it a top destination for nature lovers, divers, and adventure seekers alike.

12 Days Ultimate Palawan — Self-Launched Island Hopping Adventure

A self-launched version of UME Travel's 12-day Palawan route from Puerto Princesa to Coron, rebuilt for independent travellers. You'll follow the same island-hopping route — Honda Bay, the Underground River, Port Barton, El Nido's Bacuit Archipelago and Coron's lakes and wrecks — but booking group island-hopping trips directly with local boat operators, riding shared vans and public ferries, and staying in good-value guesthouses and budget hotels. Expect to save roughly 70% versus the packaged price while keeping the same beaches, lagoons and reefs. All costs are approximate and assume a solo traveller sharing a dorm/twin where possible; prices are based on 2026 season mid-range backpacker rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Palawan, Philippines yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
