Best time to travel
The best time to visit Palawan is from December to March. During these months, the weather is dry, sunny and pleasant, with minimal risk of heavy rainstorms. This makes it ideal for beach days, boat trips and exploring the natural landscape.
Access is via an international flight to Manila, followed by a charter flight or helicopter transfer directly to the island, which takes around 2 hours.
Palawan
Palawan, often described as “the Philippines’ last true paradise”, is known for its extraordinary scenery, from turquoise waters and white-sand beaches to dramatic limestone cliffs and lush rainforest. The region offers superb diving and snorkelling in pristine coral reefs, boat journeys through El Nido’s breathtaking lagoon and explorations of the mysterious Puerto Princesa Underground River. Families can immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world, while children play in the shallows or join exciting boat excursions.
