10-Day Palawan Island Hopping Tour

Discover the pristine lagoons and hidden beaches of Palawan on an action-packed 10-day island-hopping adventure designed for young, adventurous travelers.

This 10-day tour package is your ticket to exploring the jaw-dropping natural beauty of Palawan, often called the world's best island. The trip covers iconic destinations including the Underground River in Puerto Princesa, the stunning lagoons of El Nido, and the crystal-clear waters of Coron. Spring (March to May) is the ideal time to visit, offering dry, sunny weather and the best water conditions for snorkeling and diving. The package is an excellent value, bundling domestic flights, quality hotel stays, daily breakfast, and all guided tours. Get ready to feast on fresh Filipino barbecue on the beach and experience the vibrant local culture.

This adventure tour, operated by TruTravels for ages 18-39, includes 6 nights in quality hotels and hostels known for their social atmosphere. A major highlight is the unique 3-day boat expedition between El Nido and Coron, where you'll sleep in simple, traditional beach huts on remote islands under a canopy of stars. This portion of the trip offers a truly authentic and off-the-grid experience. The package includes domestic flights within the Philippines to get you between islands, daily breakfast, and most lunches during the island-hopping excursions. All transport and guided tours are included, making for a seamless and unforgettable journey.

Your adventure begins in Manila before flying to Palawan. In Puerto Princesa, you'll explore the UNESCO-listed Underground River, one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. From there, you'll journey to El Nido to hop between islands, kayaking in the Big and Small Lagoons and discovering hidden beaches surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs. The expedition to Coron offers even more spectacular sights, including snorkeling in the Twin Lagoon and exploring Japanese shipwrecks from World War II. You'll have opportunities to swim with sea turtles, learn to cook Filipino dishes, and connect with local communities, visiting islands that most tourists never get to see.
