Palawan

Palawan Island is one of Philippines' hidden beauties located in the region of MIMAROPA. One of the best ways to explore the area is to go on island hopping tours and enjoy the tropical landscapes of Luli Island, Cowrie Island and Starfish Island - all perfect for snorkeling or a lazy day on the beach.

Swing by El Nido to discover Snake Island and visit Cudugnon Cave which was once a local hideout. Check out Palawan's very own African safari at the Calauit Game Refuge and Wildlife Sanctuary and get up close and personal with zebras, giraffes, and the brown deer! Sunsets on the island are a plenty but for a unique sunrise experience, head to Puerto Princesa and hike up Mt. Magarwak!

Highly recommended
Taraw Via Ferrata (Taraw Cliff, Canopy Walk Viewdeck and Dreamcatcher) Ticket in El Nido
It's an easy climb. The view from the top is amazing. Truly grateful to the team behind my experience. I booked for three persons but unfortunately, I was the only one who came. Surprisingly, they upgraded my ticket and included Dreamcatcher since I can no longer process refund for the other two. They probably felt bad for me. Once again, a huge thank you. This was really an eye opener. For those traveling and paying for the leisure of others, I hope you think 100 times over who you travel with. Anyway, you will be escorted upon your climb and he will take pictures of you using their DSLR. You can choose and print your picture with their customized border and frame afterwards for a fee. In addition to that, they will also send you soft copies thru email for the same fee. This is optional, though. He can take pictures of you using any of your gadget.

El Nido Tour A
This activity is highly recommended. The places we've visited were superb. There was plenty of time for every destination. We were able to play volleyball at Seven Commandos Beach, cave hopping inside Secret Beach, kayak at the Big Lagoon and snorkel at Shimizu Island. Big Lagoon and Shimizu Island were definitely the highlights for this tour. We had to pay an additional fee for the kayak, though. Luckily, we were given a discount by the boatmen. "Don't tell it to the other passengers", he said. Definitely used the Filipino-card for that discount. Thank you kababayan. We also had to rent for aqua shoes. I believe it was Php200. If you want to avoid this extra expense, I recommend you bring your own. The rocks underwater have sharp edges. They have the same look as the cliffs. The shoes are used for that purpose and it's very useful should you enter the Secret Beach.
