Many of our Tour Suggestions include Puerto Princesa & El Nido.
Philippines Last Frontier
As a whole, Palawan comprises 1,768 islands of pristine white beaches, dramatic rock formations, secret coves and underground mysteries. An untamed land, a nature lover's paradise and an explorer's dream, Palawan certainly lives up to its image as the last frontier.
Palawan has been declared a nature sanctuary of the world and for good reason. It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves and shimmering beaches.
It bursts with exotic flora and fauna and is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colourful marine life.
To the north of Puerto Princesa can be found the Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Centre, which looks after the two species of Philippines' crocodiles, and visitors can view these animals at various stages of their development, in their enclosures.
St Paul's Underground River was awarded World Heritage Site status in 1999. This national park runs for five miles through a limestone cave before opening out into a lagoon. A sandbar separates the lagoon from the sea.
The site is approximately 50 miles north of Puerto Princesa, and one first takes the road to Sabang, which has one of Palawan's most beautiful beaches.
The national park can be reached by walking along the beach and then through rainforest, or by taking a fifteen minute boat ride.
This area is extremely active with wildlife, including Philippine macaques, monitor lizards and the highly endangerd, flightless, tabon bird.
