Palawan, Philippines

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Palawan is an elongated island province in the western Philippines, consistently ranked among the world's best islands for its dramatic limestone karsts, crystal-clear turquoise lagoons, and rich marine biodiversity. El Nido and Coron are its most iconic destinations, drawing travellers for island-hopping, snorkelling, and world-class wreck diving among sunken Japanese WWII ships. The UNESCO-listed Puerto Princesa Subterranean River winds through a vast cave system and is one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Palawan attracts independent backpackers and group travellers alike who come for its untouched beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and relatively unhurried pace compared to other Philippine hotspots.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Palawan, Philippines yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
