Backpacking Philippines

After breakfast, take some time to appreciate your spectacular surroundings before we then hop into a van and head up on our way to El Nido. When we arrive you will see why Palawan was named the most beautiful island group in the world. Surrounded by islands and towering cliffs, El Nido is a secret paradise we are lucky enough to share. Once you pick your jaws up off the ground, we will check in to the funkiest hostel in Palawan.

It’s time to experience and immerse ourselves in unique Filipino culture. We’ll take a short jungle hike to learn about the flora and fauna that grows in the lush rainforest before arriving at our exclusive beach hut for a fun-filled day. Today we have activities ranging from cooking authentic Filipino food, climbing coconut trees, traditional Filipino stick fighting, coconut shaving, learning Filipino dances and children’s games, coconut leaf weaving and more. Afterwards, we lounge on the stunning Las Cabanas Beach to take in the incredible sunset where you can take the optional Zip Line. An exhilarating adventure of flying between two islands over the ocean. A day you’re not likely to forget!

This morning we board our boat to take us around all the spectacular, tiny islands in the bay. You will explore the most beautiful islands and the bluest waters you have ever seen. Snorkel with your new friends and feast on the freshly prepared food on board. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Today we do a short canopy walk up to the famous cliffs overlooking El Nido to get the best view of incredible bay and Cadlao Island. After all that exercise, you’ll need some chill-out time! That’s why we include a traditional Filipino massage near the beach to help ease those muscles. Take your time today to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Explore the town and meet some friendly locals.

After breakfast pack your things and hop on the fast ferry to Coron. Check in to the accommodation before being taken to the world famous Hot Springs for a relaxing afternoon!

Today is a day for you to spend at your leisure! Chill out at the accommodation or book an optional extra. Hike Mount Tapyas, visit Black Island or get some Scuba Diving in! The choice is yours.

Prepare to spend the next two days discovering some of Coron’s best snorkelling destinations. We board the boat with our local guides and set off on our adventure, passing by some spectacular views including limestone karst landscapes and multiple beautiful beaches. Be sure to bring an underwater camera as we snorkel at the World War II-era Lusong Gunboat Ship Wreck, crystal-clear freshwater lakes, shallow-water coral reefs and the twin lagoons! Tonight we settle into the paradise of Pass Island, where we set up camp in our beach huts and enjoy some sunset cocktails by the bonfire. In the morning we will have breakfast before departing the island to start another day filled with more water bound adventures.

Sadly all good things must come to an end! After breakfast we will take you to the airport in time to catch your flight out of Coron.
