Stay program

• day 1

  Ulugan Bay

  The group meets at Puerto Princesa airport and drives an hour and a half to Ulugan Bay. A 30-minute boat ride takes us to an island with white sand beaches, surrounded by coral reefs full of marine life. We spend the day snorkeling and enjoying the beach (the island's resident eagle might even join us!). At night, we sleep in rainforest cottages, surrounded by trees and offering breathtaking views of Ulugan Bay.

• day 2

  Sabang and the Puerto Princesa Underground River

  We head towards Sabang, then we take an outrigger boat to the entrance of the underground river. There, we board a rowboat to cross the river tunnel, amazed by the unique environment and its many interesting formations. Next, we walk along a trail in the jungle and try to spot the lizards that are watching. In the afternoon, we take a rowboat through a mangrove to discover this rich ecosystem. After having the pleasure of observing monkeys, tree snakes, and various birds, we return to our rainforest cottages overlooking Ulugan Bay.

• day 3

  El Nido

  We spend the morning traveling to El Nido. This gives us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery of the Palawan interior. In El Nido, we go hiking up one of its rocky mountains and enjoy a spectacular view of Bacuit Bay and its islands.

• day 4

  Kayaking in El Nido

  After taking some time in the morning to learn how to handle a sea kayak, we spend the whole day paddling among rocky cliffs and fine sandy beaches. From time to time, we go ashore to better appreciate the features of the island and go snorkeling.

• day 5

  The best of the El Nido islands

  We load our diving equipment onto a stabilizer boat and set off to discover the wonders of the different islands of Bacuit Bay. After a day spent on spectacular beaches, admiring rock formations and lagoons, we reluctantly return to the town of El Nido for our last night in paradise.

• day 6

  Last day in paradise

  We say goodbye to El Nido and return to Puerto Princesa, where we visit the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (also known as the Crocodile Farm). Our trip ends at Puerto Princesa airport in the afternoon. You also have the option to leave from El Nido airport by plane, instead of returning to Puerto Princesa.
