More than what is expected! Everything is worth it. Palawan is the place where you want to stop the ticking of the clock, and the place where you want to spend your month long overdue vacation from a very busy hours of work. It is where we can really see and touch the beauty of mother nature. I mean cleanest/clearest sea water? Checked! Green, greener grass? Checked! Kudos to the people and government for preserving it and also to the responsible tourists (like me 😉) for following all the "dos and don'ts".
Our creator is so good for letting us witness such creation!
And we should always remember, "Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but footprints and Kill nothing but time". Enjoy!

Best island of the world for the 3rd year in a row. I recently moved here and started my business, I currently live in Port Barton, own a boat and do Island Tours. It has been hard but very rewarding journey. I can only talk highly of this little village. Come here and visit us

Spending a full week here we still didn’t see everything and all the beauty that surrounded us. The most clear and pure waters and marine life; untouched and untainted. Breathtaking views, culture and people.

Local Delights: Sample fresh seafood, kinilaw (Filipino ceviche), and indulge in the colorful dessert, halo-halo.

Stunning island! We've only been to Puerto Princesa and El Nido, but each place is more beautiful than the one before. Beaches with white sand and transparent water are all around. There are many attractions to see as the underground river or an 800m long zip line through jungle and sea.
You can do a lot of outdoors activities such as trekking, swimming, kayaking and all sorts of water sports.
10/10 would return!
