    Tour picked us up from our hotel and we travelled about an hour from Puerta Princesca to the place. To note there is a lot of waiting and standing around on this tour. You have to wait for a small boat to take you to an island and then you wait again to go into the caves. We spent more time waiting than anything else.

    In saying that I would recommend this tour. It was good when you got into the caves and to learn about the history of them on headphones.

    We kayaked in this lagoon as part of the Tour A package, and this was one of the top highlights of the tour (the other was snorkeling around Shimizu island). We paddle along the side (you may see some sea urchin on the rock in the water) all the way to the back, had a nice swim then paddle back in time to meet with our boat. Most people won’t go all the way to the back so I would recommend go all the way if you would like to have a nice quiet swim.

    Amazing view, waters so clear. You have to get in via kayak- your boatman can help you or they also have staff there. I prefer this over the big lagoon which was full on Saturday.

    Relaxing tour, the snorkeling was tame, quite a few little fish nothing special. The beaches visited were very nice, beaches were clean.

    Long Beach in San Vicente, Palawan has been named as such because of the 14-km stretch of coastline where one can do about anything one hopes to accomplish on a relaxing vacation.

    That is, only one's own choice of pictures to post on social media will remain the only intrusion one will ever encounter. No need to fear the noise and crowd that define the rest of the other beach destinations in the Philippines.

    Indulge in swimming, sun-bathing, playing beach volleyball, jogging. Embark on a sunset cruise in the summer season or a sunset album for your instagram.

    Definitely an amazing way to amass stories worth a lifetime.

    Totally worth it! That's the most famous landscape in Coron, make sure that it is included in the tour you're doing (in case you're not doing all).
    The view uphill is really amazing, and the lake downstairs is refreshing.
    If you're lucky you can see monkey going down to get a sip on it.

    We spent a beautifull morning in the mangrove forrest. We organized last evening, so we were there alone. Lot of monkeys, palawan hornbills, python, etc.

    My wife and I decided at the last minute to go on tour that went down this river. Amazingly relaxation and not as packed as other attractions on island. Checking out the giant tree was a highlight. Do a day tour or stay overnight

    Go in the late afternoon as the birds come in to roost. Lots of pretty mangroves. You will need a boat and a good guide who knows where to go in the mangroves

    Not many people know about this lake, and even fewer people visit it, but it is well worth a short visit if you are in the area. It is about 10 kms before Taytay if you are heading north, and at the junction you have to sign a visitors book, then continue down the track for about 5 kms until you reach a clearing by the lake. You can rent kayaks here and possibly go fishing or camp the night. Be aware that there are no facilities or sari sari store here, but it is tranquil and pleasant there.
