Palawan

Palawan is a long, narrow island province stretching 450 kilometres along the western edge of the Philippine archipelago, its coastline fragmented into hundreds of islets, bays, and peninsulas. It encompasses the Palawan Biosphere Reserve, El Nido, Coron, and the Puerto Princesa Underground River, and has been recognized multiple times in global travel surveys as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. The Honda Bay island chain near Puerto Princesa provides accessible day-trip snorkelling over coral gardens without the infrastructure demands of the northern island chains.
