El Nido Palawan Island Philippines

El Nido in Palawan

Unspoiled charm and diverse activities make Palawan an unforgettable destination

Palawan offers everything from island-hopping adventures and underwater exploration, to intriguing local culture and wildlife immersion.

We think Palawan is one of the most breathtaking places in the Philippines — and possibly the world. Known as the “Last Frontier,” it’s a paradise of limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and untouched beaches. If you’re craving nature in its purest form, this is the place.

Island-hopping in El Nido is a must. We’re always awestruck by the hidden lagoons and postcard-worthy beaches of the Bacuit Archipelago. Over in Coron, you can dive haunting WWII shipwrecks — a surreal and unforgettable experience. The Puerto Princesa Underground River is another highlight. Gliding through vast, echoing caves by boat feels like stepping into a different world.

Palawan’s food scene is fresh and full of flavour — think seafood grilled right on the beach, coconut-based curries, and adventurous bites like kinilaw (Filipino ceviche) or tamilok (woodworm, for the brave).

Snorkelling and diving here are spectacular. Apo Reef and the UNESCO-listed Tubbataha Reefs are teeming with marine life, from reef sharks to neon corals. On land, you can hike Taraw Cliff for views over El Nido, go caving and ziplining at Ugong Rock, or meet rescued wildlife at the Palawan Conservation Centre (the bearcats are adorable).

We love Palawan for its wild beauty, slow pace, and sense of adventure — and we think you will too.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
