Escape 2 Explore PH

Your 5-day adventure in Palawan begins with an early morning arrival in Puerto Princesa at 5:20 AM, where you’ll be greeted at the airport and transferred by private van to El Nido, a scenic 5-6 hour journey with a lunch stop in Roxas (at your own expense) and a chance to pick up local cashew nuts. Upon reaching El Nido, check into your accommodation and spend the rest of the day at leisure, soaking in the vibrant coastal atmosphere.

Day 2, after breakfast, join a shared island-hopping tour from the hotel lobby to the docking area. Explore El Nido’s breathtaking lagoons and islands, including Seven Commandos, Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, and Shimizu Island, with a picnic lunch, tour guide, permits, and fees included. Return to town in the afternoon to unwind.

Day 3 follows a similar rhythm, after breakfast and another shared island tour visiting Secret Beach, Helicopter Island, Talisay Beach, Matinloc Shrine, and Hidden Beach, complete with a picnic lunch and all necessary permits. You’ll return to your hotel in the afternoon, ready to relax.

Day 4, rise early at 4:00 AM for a shared van transfer to Sabang Port, the gateway to the St. Paul Subterranean Underground River. Embark on a boat tour through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, marveling at the ancient stalagmites and stalactites while keeping an eye on playful resident monkeys who may take a liking to bright-colored items. Enjoy a buffet lunch before continuing to Puerto Princesa City for your overnight stay, with the evening free to explore at your own pace.

Day 5 is a restful day in Puerto Princesa, allowing you to recharge before your departure, wrapping up an unforgettable Palawan experience.
