Island life is the best life, and the Philippines is where it truly shines. Over nine days, you'll journey from Palawan to Coron, starting with an underground river adventure and a full day of snorkeling in El Nido’s crystal-clear waters. Then, it's time for the ultimate thrill: a two-night island-hopping expedition from El Nido to Coron. Imagine deserted beaches, cozy thatch huts, your new travel buddies, and a cold drink in hand. The best life, indeed.
Day 1: Puerto PrincesaWelcome to the island paradise of the Philippines here in Palawan! Arrive at anytime today and dive right into your adventure with free time in Puerto Princesa. In the evening, meet your group and CEO and start this trip off right!
Day 2: Puerto Princesa/El NidoThis morning, put on your adventure hat, grab your camera and visit the famed underground river on a boat ride through Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. In the afternoon, we'll drive to El Nido. Great ready for the next few days: forecast calls for crystal blue water, karst cliffs, and perfect island life. Not too shabby.
Day 3: El NidoIf you came to the Philippines for island life, today will be your day. Hop aboard for our very own private island hopping tour. Epic right? We'll cruise, swim and snorkel our way through perfectly clear water, stopping at iconic beaches like Hidden Beach and Secret Beach. A pretty dreamy day if you ask us.
Day 4: El NidoSpend your last day in El Nido doing exactly what you want! There are so many things to do to make for your perfect day! You could hike to the top of Taraw Peak for a gorgeous view or visit Kuyawyaw Falls. Looking for more of a beachy vibe? Opt to kayak through the crystal clear water or relax on the white sand and enjoy a beach day.
Day 5: El Nido/Sulu SeaSay goodbye to Palawan Island and climb aboard for an epic adventure! Over the next two nights, you'll explore the islands of the Philippines onboard a two-story motorized bancas boat, cruising past huge krast formations, white sand coves and through the Sulu Sea. After a day of cruising, we'll camp on a secluded beach in traditional filipino huts. Talk about living the island dream.
Day 6: Sulu SeaWake to the sound of the sea reaching the sand. Climb back onto the boat and continue exploring the beautiful turquoise water. We'll make stops along the way to swim and snorkel. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, whale sharks and breaching rays before you reach your next secluded beach camping experience.
Day 7: Sulu Sea/CoronAwaken next to the beach after another night on a beautiful, secluded Filipino island. We'll board our trusty vessel for one final expedition. Take in the view from the bow one last time before arriving to the Island of Coron. After you disembark, check into your hotel. It might just be happy hour!
Day 8: CoronAfter a few days at sea, today is a day of land exploration. In the morning, join your CEO to hike Mt Tapyas. Get your blood pumping and catch incredible vistas across the island. Then zip over to the Maquinit hot springs where you can dip a toe-or more- into the hot water. In the evening, choose to join your fellow Roamies and CEO for a final night out in Coron.
Day 9: CoronSay goodbye to your Roamies and depart at any time.
