YPT have been coming to Palawan for over 10 years now, Covid notwithstanding and we are constantly looking for ways to add adventure and intrigue into this extremely popular trip.
And for 2024 we take this theory into overdrive by not only visiting the island hopping Metropolis that is El Nido, but also visiting a UNESCO site, camping on an island, eating woodworm and even going to one of the most untouched and best kept secrets of Palawan.
Our tour opens in Manila, where we have time to relax by the pool, as well as sample some nightlife before we head off on the adventure. Our first port of call is Puerto Princesa where we visit the Underground River, as well as try Tamilok, before we head to El Nido.
El Nido is most famous for its island hopping, which is what we do, but also for its booming nightlife which we make the most of.
This tour though is all about adventure, so that is what we do next by heading out to Port Barton, the best kept secret of Palawan and perhaps the next El Nido. Here we enjoy R&R motorbiking, as well as camping on an island, before touching base in the capital and then dropping you in Manila.
Due to boat sizes this trip is capped at 10 people and can also be combined with our East Timor tour.
