Palawan
Palawan Island is one of Philippines' hidden beauties located in the region of MIMAROPA. One of the best ways to explore the area is to go on island hopping tours and enjoy the tropical landscapes of Luli Island, Cowrie Island and Starfish Island - all perfect for snorkeling or a lazy day on the beach.
Swing by El Nido to discover Snake Island and visit Cudugnon Cave which was once a local hideout. Check out Palawan's very own African safari at the Calauit Game Refuge and Wildlife Sanctuary and get up close and personal with zebras, giraffes, and the brown deer! Sunsets on the island are a plenty but for a unique sunrise experience, head to Puerto Princesa and hike up Mt. Magarwak!
