We'll start off with the island of Palawan. Palawan was voted #1 island in the world in 2014 by Conde Naste. We will be staying in the area of Puerto Princesa. It is the most biodiverse islands in the Philippines. Palawan is an archipelago with 1,780 islands on the western part. Due to amazing landscapes and high bio-diversity, Palawan island is known as “The Last Ecological Frontier of the Philippines”. The northern part is characterized by incredible clear waters, white beaches, and many species of flora and fauna. Palawan is a sliver of an island that teems with exotic wildlife, quaint fishing villages, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The capital, Puerto Princesa, is known for the biodiverse Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, where boats run along an underground river through vast caves. Off the east coast, Honda Bay’s islands are dotted with resorts. Farther out in the Sulu Sea, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park has reefs teeming with marine life.

Our first tour there is the underground river tour where we will take a motorised Banka to the entrance then a canoe tour in to the Cave itself. The tour takes you into the first 1.5 kilometres of the Underground River cave. Experience the beauty of Stalagmites and Stalactites, which took thousands of years to form, and the Swift and Bat populations that inhabit the cave. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is one of the top natural wonders of the world.

Our next tour is a 3-island hopping in Honda Bay. Each island at Honda Bay offers different thrills but Luli Island, Starfish Island, Panden Island and Cowrie Island are all great for swimming and snorkeling. Dive sites abound here, as the entire area is studded with patches of coral and sand. Submerged reefs may be found close to the surface down to 24 meters.

Next we travel to El Nido, known for white-sand beaches, coral reefs and as the gateway to the Bacuit archipelago, a group of islands with steep karst cliffs. Miniloc Island is famed for the clear waters of its Small and Big lagoons. Nearby Shimizu Island has fish-filled waters. The area has many dive sites, including Dilumacad Island’s long tunnel leading to an underwater cavern. El Nido is renowned as the "Heaven on Earth", and it comprises 45 islands and islets (Bacuit Archipelago), many of which are uninhabited. We have 3 days of tours set up here that will feature visits to these incredibly beauiful islands and amazing snorkeling.

Our last stop is to Boracay Island where we'll have another island hopping tour and a beautiful 5-star hotel on a private beach.
We went direct once again to give you the best rate on this trip that includes 3-domestic flights, daily breakfast, most lunches, transfers and wonderful hotels.

Join us on every Wednesday morning at 10AM for a walk at Laguna Lake Park in Fullerton. Enjoy the outdoors, fresh air, enjoy nature, and get some exercise with friends, make new friends, and have fun.
**This Event is also scheduled with other Meet up groups, so the number of RSVP's may be more than what is shown for this group.**

About the Walk
We will meet in the parking lot at 10:00 AM & will start walking at 10:05 AM sharp. We will walk on the Perimeter Trail which is approximately 1.65 miles and it is mainly a flat dirt trail. We cancel our walk if there is rain in the forecast.

About Laguna Lake Park
Laguna Lake Park is guaranteed to please park visitors whether they are nature lovers, hikers, joggers, equestrians, bicyclists or fishermen. Park guests can picnic in the park area just below the dam, stroll around the lake on hard pack dirt trails, or depending on the time year, cast a line for rainbow trout, catfish, bass or bluegill.
