Palawan

Palawan is often planned as three separate bases rather than one continuous road trip: Puerto Princesa as the southern gateway and Underground River access, El Nido for Bacuit Bay lagoon and island-hopping, and Coron for northern wreck, lake, and lagoon day tours from Busuanga.

Overview

Palawan is often planned as three separate bases rather than one continuous road trip: Puerto Princesa as the southern gateway and Underground River access, El Nido for Bacuit Bay lagoon and island-hopping, and Coron for northern wreck, lake, and lagoon day tours from Busuanga.

Good to knowTiming matters

There is no through-road connecting all three bases; ferry schedules and operators change — confirm current sailings locally rather than planning around a fixed timetable. Palawan province/island geographic records remain reference-only; this area groups the three governed city/town destinations only.
