El Nido
Northern tip of mainland Palawan, on Bacuit Bay
Limestone karst islands, lagoons and the classic lettered island-hopping tours.

Palawan stretches a long way, and not every famous name is on the same landmass. It is three travel areas that do not connect to each other by road, so the area a place sits in decides whether reaching it is a drive, a boat or a flight. They are grouped that way below — each page says where the place actually is and how you get there, then you can ask us for the price.
All joined by road, so these can be combined along one northbound corridor rather than travelled between separately.

A long southbound mainland drive to Buliluyan Port in Bataraza, then a sea crossing — in each direction.
Free, no obligation, and no payment to ask. If a leg does not make sense on your dates, we will say so rather than sell it to you.
