Top 5 Things To Do In Palawan, Philippines

1. Underground River Tour

Named as one of the 7 wonders of Nature, a rich biodiversity lies in the beauty of Puerto Princesa City. It exhibits magnificent limestone karst landscape with a river beneath. The river itself weaves its way through 8.2km of the 24km long cave that extends beneath the mountains. 

Visit this natural wonder, one of the Philippines' most stunning caves, and discover for yourself why it's considered a true wonder of the world.

11. Surf at Nagtabon Beach

A Palawan spot you might never heard of. The best sand, free from stones, coral, and even sea urchins. What's interesting is that its a 1km long beach   where you can play frisbee, volleyball and surf. With just 500Php(10$) you can already rent a surf board and yes it also comes with a guide where they teach you the basics so you can finally surf your first wave.

Ever thought of being in a hideaway? Nagtabon is the pure hideaway where time just doesn't matter, very few tourists, no tour guide needed plus you get to have a front row seat of the sunset.

III. El Nido Island Hopping

This one is probably one of the famous things to do in Palawan. Sail away to the deep-blue lagoons and white-sand beaches of El Nido, Palawan and feed your eyes and soul with nature's wonder of towering limestone cliffs, clearest crystal clear water with the whitest sand and you don't wanna miss out the fun of snorkeling either. There are 4 (Tour A, B, C, D) available tours that you can choose from and I strongly recommend the Tour A especially for the first timers. 

IV. Dive in Coron

Explore the wonders that lie beneath the seas with a majestic array of more than 30 marvelous dive sites, prevailing as a diver’s heaven.

Aside from its postcard-perfect islands and beaches, it is also famous for shipwreck diving. Coron is renowned as a premier diving location and is home to some of the most breathtaking diving spots in the Philippines. Explore the beauty of the underworld and divulge the diversity of marine life.

V. Beach Hopping in El Nido

If you're already in El Nido  and just want to chill for a day after those long days of touring and island hopping then this is a perfect thing to do, beach hop! I suggest you head first to Lio. It's free and there are also free cottages and chairs by the beach where you can freely bring foods and drinks and there are also tons of restaurants of different cuisines that you can choose from. 

After sunbathing in Lio, you can just go to Nacpan beach where you can sunset sail and snorkel, dine and drink, or just relax and enjoy the breathtaking view of this 5km long turquoise water which by the way named as one of the worlds top 10 beaches.

Lastly is my personal fav, probably one of the most beautiful sunset that I've seen so far, the Las Cabanas. For me, it's the best spot for sunset in El Nido. You can just buy yourself a drink or two, sit by the beach or take a quick dip then just wait for that perfect sunset that you've been dreaming of.
