Palawan Island Hopping Tour

DESCRIPTION

Join us for our 6^th annual trip to the Palawan, which has been voted the best island of the year for the last two years as we explore the amazing Bacuit Archipelago on our private party outrigger.

The trip begins with the group meeting in Ermita, Manila where we head out to see the sites of this bustling metropolis before we take the flight to Puerto Princessa the capital of Palawan. Here we check into our amazing private villa with a pool for a day relaxing to get the party started.

We then head to El Nido in the north of the island for 4 days of island hopping (party) adventures to hidden lagoons and secret beaches, as well as a free day where we can arrange extras such as diving, or a motorcycle tour. On our last night, we finish in style with a party and camping on a deserted island beach before one last night at the villa and our return to Manila.

Whilst Palawan might not strike as a classic YPT destination this trip is not only one of our favorites, but always extremely popular.
