4 Days in Balabac: Onok Island, Sea Turtles & Palawan's Most Remote Corner
We almost cancelled this tour because of the reviews. Three days later we'd seen more sea turtles than anywhere else, had entire islands to ourselves and lost a drone to the sea. Why Balabac became our Philippines highlight next to Siquijor, and what the journey really takes.
5 Days in El Nido: Big Lagoon, Zip Lining & a Sunset Beach to Ourselves
After three days of empty islands in Balabac, we arrived at the most photographed place in Palawan wondering if it could still impress us. Then one small surcharge gave us Seven Commando Beach entirely to ourselves at sunset. Our honest 5 day El Nido guide, including the private tour setup that made the difference.
3 Days in Coron: Kayangan Lake, the Best Snorkelling of Our Trip & the Ferry from El Nido
Our last island saved the best snorkelling of the entire Philippines for the final tour day. Plus a ferry from El Nido that beat flying, a private tour that served garlic prawns on request, and two travel warnings for your journey home that we learned the hard way. Our honest 3 day Coron guide.
