Palawan: start here
Deciding between El Nido, Coron and Puerto Princesa, or how to combine them? Begin with these two.
El Nido
Bacuit Bay’s lagoons and island-hopping Tours A to D: getting there, timing, tours and where to stay.
Coron
Brackish lakes, WWII wreck dives and Busuanga’s island tours, plus how to reach it since the Manila flight ended.
Puerto Princesa
The provincial capital, the Underground River and Honda Bay, and the only Palawan airport with direct Manila jets.
Cebu
Whale sharks, Kawasan Falls and the northern islands, with Mactan-Cebu as the Visayas’ main gateway.
Planning essentials
Documents, money, connectivity and timing for the whole country, before you book anything.
