This special Palawan tour is for those looking for a more relaxing tropical holiday in one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world. For those who want to get away from it all, we propose a more immersive holiday that will involve quieter beaches and short backcountry trips. If you have time to spare, you can stay as long as you wish at each beach destination to have some much-needed unplug time. Revel in that well-deserved quiet time by staying in rustic yet comfortable resorts. Swim in the crystalline waters and encounter the colorful marine life that thrives under the sea. Explore pristine beaches and stunning islands to your heart’s content. By the end of this trip, you’ll bring back with you signature memories and new perspectives.
Note: This is a sample itinerary that can be tweaked to suit your interest. Let us know if you would like to add any other activities you have in mind, and we will try our best to make everything possible for your holiday. Please also see ‘Activities’ below.
