Why this routing
More on PalawanThe two halves of northern Palawan: Bacuit Bay's limestone lagoons, then Coron's WWII wreck fleet, sitting in water shallow enough for recreational divers.
Palawan's north holds two entirely different landscapes within a short hop of each other. El Nido is vertical — limestone towers with lagoons hidden inside them, entered by kayak through gaps that close at high tide. Coron is horizontal and submerged: a Japanese fleet sunk in 1944, now reefed over and diveable without technical certification.
Day by day
9 nights across 2 islands
Stop 01 of 02
El Nido Resorts Pangulasian Island
Pangulasian · Bacuit Bay, El Nido
Big and Small Lagoons, island hopping, sunrise and sunset from one island
Arrive by Light aircraft and boat
See El Nido Resorts Pangulasian IslandDay 1
Manila to Lio, then Bacuit Bay
A direct flight to the Lio airstrip, then about thirty minutes by boat. Pangulasian faces both sunrise and sunset, which very few El Nido islands do.
Day 2
Big and Small Lagoons
Out early on a private banca, ahead of the day boats. Both lagoons are entered by kayak through gaps in the rock that close at high tide.
Day 3
The house reef
Snorkelling starts where the sand ends. El Nido Resorts run one of the better reef-monitoring programmes in the Philippines and will show you what it covers.
Day 4
Bacuit Bay by tank
The PADI centre opens up more than twenty karst sites, all reachable from the island — among the best diving in the country.
Day 5
Sunrise and sunset
The one day for the island itself. Kayaks are yours throughout, the Clubhouse handles the rest, and a hilot massage at the spa closes it.

Chosen with you
4 nights held, property still open
Wreck diving, Kayangan Lake, house reef, dugong spotting
Which property is right here moves with the month you travel and with what the rest of the routing is doing, so we choose it with you rather than print it now.
Day 6
North to Coron
The second half moves to Coron Bay and a sunken fleet. The base here is chosen with you — Coron's good properties are few and they fill early.
Day 7
The wrecks
A Japanese fleet sunk in 1944, reefed over since, and diveable without technical certification. Guided, and visibility decides the order.
Day 8
Kayangan Lake
Often called the cleanest lake in the Philippines. A climb over a limestone ridge, then brackish water held inside the karst.
Day 9
Reef and open water
The last full day is a boat day. Dugongs are a possibility rather than a promise — nobody can schedule them.
Day 10
Busuanga to Manila
The airstrip is close. Internal flights here move, so the day is built with slack in it.
