Palawan Philippines is a verifiable island paradise that has garnered more than its fair share of praise. Referred to as the last frontier in the Philippines, this highly unspoiled wonderland offers visitors an array of natural delights to enjoy. Some of the best beaches in all of Asia can be found in Palawan, and it also offers some of the world's best scuba diving. Further inland, mountains rise out of virgin forests, presenting an amazing landscape. There is a lot to like about Palawan Philippines, and visitors are bound to be blown away by the sheer beauty of this island province.
Palawan province

Palawan province is a collection of islands, the largest of which is Palawan Island. This long and narrow island is home to the province's largest city, as well as the main airport. Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan Philippines, and it is hailed as the country's "eco-capital." Many eco-excursions originate out of Puerto Princesa, and these include scuba diving adventures. Jacques Cousteau declared that Palawan boasts one of the world's most beautiful seascapes, and Puerto Princesa serves as the jump-off point for trips to the Tubbataha Reefs. Scuba divers and birdwatchers alike will find that the Tubbataha Reefs are an ideal destination. This collection of reefs is known as the "Philippines Galapagos" and is home to an impressive collection of birds, turtles, and fish. It takes about ten to twelve hours to get from Puerto Princesa to the Tubbataha Reefs by boat, and the trip is well worth it. Visitors stay onboard the boats since the reefs aren't home to any hotels.

One of the more popular things to do on a vacation to Palawan is take a trip down the Puerto Princesa Underground River. This subterranean waterway passes through a long, limestone cave, which is home to little more than some birds and bats. In addition to taking a trip down the unforgettable Puerto Princesa Underground River, many travelers who are enjoying a vacation to Palawan also head out to Honda Bay or make a trip north for El Nido. Honda Bay can be found near Puerto Princesa, and it is an ideal place to go snorkeling. It is also an ideal place to arrange boat trips out to Snake Island, Cowrie Island, and Pandan Island. Package tours for boat trips out to these islands are easy to arrange at most of the Puerto Princesa hotels. Relaxing on the white sand beaches at the Honda Bay islands is the activity of choice.

The Palawan beaches are world-class, and there are many to choose from. Most of these beaches boast sugar-white sand and crystal clear waters. Honda Bay's Snake Island is little more than a strip of sand, and it is one of the more popular Palawan Beaches. The Municipality of El Nido, which can be found on the northern side of Palawan Island, is home to one of the province's other top beaches. The beach on beautiful Bacuit Bay offers views out to the limestone islands found just offshore, and it is a great place to enjoy sunsets. Coincidentally, El Nido is the jump-off point for trips into the Bacuit Archipelago, which is an immaculate collection of islands and islets. Visiting tranquil beaches and doing some snorkeling and scuba diving are what visits to El Nido are usually all about. Kayaking and climbing cliffs are some of the other activities that can be enjoyed in and around El Nido.
