The Philippines' last frontier — your complete island paradise guide
Visit Live SiteThe Last Frontier
Palawan, a slender archipelago of over 1,780 islands stretching between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea, has been called the best island in the world by travel publications year after year.
Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park — Palawan is a living testament to what nature looks like when left largely untouched. Its limestone karst landscapes rise dramatically from turquoise waters, concealing hidden lagoons, ancient caves, and beaches that remain blissfully uncrowded.
El Nido and Coron anchor the province's northern reaches, drawing divers and island-hoppers to some of the most photographed seascapes in Southeast Asia. The Japanese shipwrecks of Coron Bay offer world-class wreck diving, while El Nido's Bacuit Archipelago unfolds lagoon after lagoon of impossibly clear water framed by towering karst cliffs.
Beyond the headline destinations, Palawan rewards those who venture further — the mangrove forests of Sabang, the tribal communities of the southern highlands, the whale shark encounters off southern Palawan, and the virtually untouched coral reefs that make this province one of the most biodiverse marine corridors on the planet, home to over 600 species of fish and 300 species of coral.

We didn't build VisitPalawan from a desk. We built it from the bow of a bangka boat, saltwater drying on our arms, watching the limestone cliffs of the Bacuit Archipelago catch the first light of morning.
We spent weeks island-hopping between El Nido and Coron — not as tourists checking boxes, but learning the routes the local boat captains have run for decades. Kuya Rodel showed us the entrance to a lagoon that doesn't appear on any map, a gap in the karst so narrow you have to duck under the rock at low tide. Inside: still water the color of jade, ringed by cathedral walls of limestone, completely silent except for the drip of mineral water from the ceiling.
In Coron, we dove the Okikawa Maru at dawn with a fisherman named Tito Jun who remembered when the wrecks were just hazards to avoid, not destinations. He told us which reefs were recovering and which were still hurting. That kind of ground-level knowledge — where to go, who to trust, what's real versus what's staged for Instagram — is what separates this platform from a search result.
