15 Palawan Tours: Lagoons, Wrecks and the Cave River

267 tours  ·  from $12 a head

Palawan is long, thin and badly connected, so a Palawan itinerary is really a choice of two or three towns. These 15 sort El Nido’s lettered lagoon routes, the Coron lakes and wrecks, and the underground river outside Puerto Princesa by price, sailing time and how early the boat leaves.

Nori even took us photos in most of the places. 10/10 overall and super grateful to everyone involved ☺️”

The tour was so well organised and with not many people on it compared to the day before. The tour guide was attentive and funny making excellent experience for everyone on board. I really recommend this tour if you are in El Nido truly somthing from a movie!”

Lunch was amazing, and the guides worked hard to make sure we were still having fun, giving the weather circumstances! I’d absolutely recommend this tour, as it was not crowded and not as busy as the other tours!”
