Planning to visit Palawan,  but not sure where to go or what to do? I’ve got you covered..

Below are some of my favorite spots from Coron and El Nido. First stop was Coron ‑ We stayed at TAG resort, I can’t recommend this resort enough! Chef Ollie is great at working around and providing options for any dietary requirements you may have.

The staff were so friendly, welcoming and the evening entertainment was different every night and spectacular to watch. 

Next stop was El Nido, travel time with the ferry was 4hrs which costs between $30‑$50. *Tickets can be bought at the port. 

Our accommodation in El Nido was Terra Sancta Boutique Hotel, booked through Airbnb, a beautiful boho inspired room nestled between trees, which feels like you’re staying in a bamboo treehouse. Amazing place and great location.

Renting a scooter/bike is the easiest option to get around, average cost is $10 a day and easy to find. 

We went diving 2 days in El Nido, with Submariner Diving Center and they are fantastic, I highly recommend them, we had a great experience even if you are new to diving they are there to guide you through it, you can also get your divers license with them. They took us to many great spots to see an abundance of sea life. It was a truly memorable trip with amazing experiences, friendly people, accommodating, and helpful.

English is widely spoken, so getting around and finding out information is pretty easy. Palawan’s dry season is between October and May, the best months to visit with temperatures around 27° and no rain is February and March. I will note though we went in June during raining season and in the 14 days we were there we had 2 days with minimal rain.
