Palawan Tips You Must Know

* Book accommodations 3-6 months in advance as Palawan's peak season (November to May) fills up quickly.

* Choose hotels close to your planned activities; for example, stay in Coron for diving or El Nido for lagoons and beaches.

* Reliable transportation options include tricycles for short distances and shared vans for inter-city travel.

* Pack reef-safe sunscreen and quick-dry clothing as many activities in Palawan involve water.

* Stay updated on weather conditions, especially during the rainy season from June to October, which can affect island-hopping tours.

Puerto Princesa

Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan, is home to the UNESCO-listed Puerto Princesa Underground River, where visitors can encounter stalactites in a mystical subterranean cave. Its city baywalk comes alive at night with street food and local delicacies like tamilok. Honda Bay's island-hopping tours showcase clean sands and colorful marine life, ideal for snorkelers and beach lovers.

Discover hotels in Puerto Princesa that provide easy access to the Underground River and lively local scenes.

El Nido

El Nido dazzles with the turquoise lagoons of Bacuit Bay set against jagged limestone cliffs that attract photographers and adventurers alike. Cuyunon heritage thrives in the local cuisine and small-town charm scattered across its many vibrant villages. Secret Beach, once a pirate hideout, offers an otherworldly swim accessible only through a tiny rock crevice.

Explore hotels in El Nido and stay close to its magical lagoons and heritage-rich villages.

Coron

Coron, famous for its World War II shipwreck diving spots, also boasts emerald-green Kayangan Lake, often labeled as the cleanest lake in Asia. Mount Tapyas rewards hikers with panoramic sunset views over the surrounding islands. Maquinit Hot Springs offers a warm soak just minutes from town after a day of outdoor exploration.

Stay at hotels in Coron to enjoy world-class shipwreck dives and serene hot springs.

San Vicente

San Vicente, often overlooked, features the Philippines' longest white-sand beach, measuring 14 kilometers in uninterrupted beauty. The emerging tourism scene has retained its laid-back vibe, making it a peaceful escape. Port Barton, a cozy village within San Vicente, offers intimate beach dinners and uncrowded island-hopping experiences.

Find charming hotels in San Vicente and experience its tranquil beaches and intimate atmosphere.

Roxas

Roxas serves as a gateway to the unexplored Cuyo Islands, but its coastal charm lies in quiet, untouristed beaches like Caramay Bay. It's an agricultural hub, producing cashews that enrich the town's culinary offerings and make for tasty souvenirs. Visitors may also encounter local fishing villages preserving Palawan's simple, traditional way of life.
