Day 1

Welcome to lovely Puerto Princesa, located about 50km north of the city centre lies the Subterranean River (New 7 Wonders of Nature). It has a limestone karst mountain landscape. The main attraction here is St. Paul’s Underground River Cave - a more than 24 km long underground cave, which contains an 8.2km long underground section of Cabayugan River. After which, we take a hike down the forest trail and encounter huge monitor lizards, monkeys and other creatures in the wild.

On to our next adventure, we head to the Ugong Rock Cave for some underground cave exploration, spelunking and ziplining activities.

In the afternoon, you will be guided through a historical tour of the city and a visit to the Palawan Heritage Center whereby you will see some cool ancient artifacts collected from the region. Fun fact: Fossils of a Megalosaurus (from the Jurassic era) were discovered in the region!

Beautiful day El Nido! Another popular destination on our tour for its pristine white beaches, towering limestone cliffs, enchanting lagoons and surprisingly, an exciting nightlife along the shore!

Here in El Nido, we sail through and admire majestic limestone karsts, swim and kayak in cool crystal waters of its hidden lagoons and explore nearby islets that offer beautiful beach where we can swim, soak up the sun and just enjoy the tropical seascape.

In the late evening, we bring you to the hottest social scene in town and enjoy shisha and cocktails as we dance the night away!

Next stop is the Kayangan Lake, the cleanest lake in the Philippines, surrounded by amazing scenery of limestone cliffs, its 70% freshwater and 30% salt water. A great spot to swim or snorkel in the lake, or simply float around in a life jacket and admire your surroundings.

Soon after, we head to Bon Bon beach - Without a doubt one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the world. It’s definitely the best beach in the Romblon Province and the sandbar makes it an iconic location in the region. You’re welcome to frolic in these sparkling turquoise blue waters.
