2-Week Palawan Island Tour Packages
Ready for an extended Palawan exploration in the Philippines' most beautiful province? Island-hop between El Nido's dramatic limestone karsts, Coron for wreck diving and Kayangan Lake, and Puerto Princesa's Underground River. Extended time means reaching more remote areas, like Balabac and the northern islands, rather than just hitting highlights. The beaches and lagoons are genuinely stunning, diving’s world-class, and islands still feel relatively undeveloped.

14 Days in the Philippines, incl. Manila and El Nido
A perfectly paced 14-day tour covers Palawan's finest destinations, including Puerto Princesa, Port Barton, El Nido, and Coron, balancing activities with relaxation time.
- Days 1-2
Manila to Puerto Princesa
Land in Manila and start your trip with dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city lights. "The Manila skyline at night was a perfect way to start our journey." Take a domestic flight to Puerto Princesa the next day. Book afternoon flights to avoid Manila's heavy morning traffic.
- Days 3-5
Port Barton & Island Experience
Visit the UNESCO Underground River early at 7:30 AM before the crowds arrive. Then travel to Port Barton for island camping. "Watching the sunset from our private beach camp while the local guides prepared fresh-caught fish was unforgettable." You'll visit a local school (bring supplies to donate), swim with sea turtles, and get a real taste of island life. The camping is basic but the night sky views are incredible.
- Days 6-9
El Nido
Take a 4-hour drive to El Nido, with photo stops by the limestone cliffs. Your activities include: - Island hopping in the Bacuit Archipelago - Learning traditional skills like coconut climbing - Island zipline option (PHP 500 cash) - Canopy walk overlooking the bay - Filipino massage. A recent visitor suggests: "The morning island hopping tours are less crowded - book Tour A first as it has the best lagoons."
- Days 10-13
Coron
Take the ferry to Coron (bring motion sickness pills if needed). You'll experience: - Swimming in Barracuda Lake and Twin Lagoon - Snorkeling at Coral Garden - Overnight on Pass Island - Optional WWII shipwreck diving - Maquinit Hot Springs visit. One traveler notes: "The Twin Lagoon in Coron was mind-blowing - bring water shoes as the rocks can be sharp when entering."
- Day 14
Departure
Transfer to Francisco B. Reyes Airport. Transport is only included on the final day.
13 Days in Philippines, incl. Manila and El Nido
This 13-day trip takes you through 6 Philippine destinations from Manila to El Nido, with canyoneering at Kawasan Falls in Moalboal and a 3-day Banca boat trip through Palawan's hidden islands. You'll snorkel Moalboal's Sardine Run, hike Mount Tapyas in Coron for views of limestone cliffs, and relax in Maquinit Hot Springs.
- Days 1-2
Manila to Cebu
Start with a day in Manila to adjust to the time zone. Take an early morning flight to Cebu (1.5 hours). Book morning flights to avoid Manila's heavy airport traffic. The ferry to Moalboal takes 3 hours. Bring motion sickness pills if needed.
- Days 3-4
Moalboal
Go canyoneering at Kawasan Falls. You'll need sturdy water shoes since the rocks get slippery. For the Sardine Run, get there before 9 AM when the water is clearest and there are fewer tourists. The sardines swim close to shore, making it perfect for beginners.
- Days 5-7
Coron
Fly 1 hour from Cebu and stay in Coron Town. Climb Mount Tapyas (700+ steps) in late afternoon to catch the sunset. Visit Maquinit Hot Springs, but keep your soak under 20 minutes - the water is 40°C. Remember to drink plenty of water.
- Days 8-10
Island Hopping Adventure
Take the 3-day boat trip from Coron to El Nido. You'll sleep in basic beach huts with shared bathrooms. Bring a dry bag for your electronics, reef-safe sunscreen, and snorkel gear. The boats are traditional bancas - simple but authentic.
- Days 11-13
El Nido
Try the jungle canopy walk for great views, but watch out for mud after rain. Head to Nacpan Beach early, before the 45-minute drive gets busy at 10 AM. Stop for lunch at an organic farm to see local children perform traditional dances.
