Sail the untouched last great frontier of the Philippines with 20 new friends, daily movement, and the energy SYB is known for.
Known as “The Last Ecological Frontier of the Philippines," Palawan is the stuff remote island dreams are made of. Crystal waters, limestone cliffs, and underwater caves await you.
Takes the Cake
Palawan was voted the BEST island in the world two years in a row by Travel + Leisure, beating out destinations like Santorini and Bali. It’s not hard to tell why with beaches left and right surrounded by sparkling blue water and “pinch me” moment views.
Disconnect to Reconnect
Good luck getting reliable WiFi or cell service out here, and that’s just the way we like it. Goodbye cell phone, hello living life. Here’s to more time for reading on the beach, hanging with island pups, or snoozing in a hammock.
Fish are friends…and food
Palawan is known for some of the freshest seafood in the world. While we love to snorkel with our fishy friends, we also appreciate a good meal. The locals are pros at using the various island resources and ingredients to create a healthy and delicious diet to keep us energized for long days. Who needs Whole Foods when you’ve got beach coconuts and fish you just caught?
Seascape of Dreams
You’d be hardpressed to find a more picturesque destination than Palawan. In front of you are crystal clear waters. Turn around, and you’ve got tall, jagged cliffs covered with tropical palm trees. Take a swim, and you’re surrounded by sunken boats and caves filled with colorful sea creatures all waiting for you to explore. The quest for paradise is neverending!
Palawan Island Hopping Group Trip
There are few untouched places left on Earth and Palawan is one of them. This remote Philippine archipelago is rugged, wild, and blissfully off-grid. Minimal electricity, no modern plumbing… and total magic.
We explore these remote islands aboard a traditional Filipino sailing boat, hopping from one tropical paradise to the next.
No Wi-Fi. No tourists. Just you, your crew, and the ocean breeze.
Your Route Through Paradise
We kick off in El Nido, nestled in the stunning Bacuit Bay. One night here to grab supplies, get grounded, and meet your crew. Then the sails go up — and the real adventure begins.
We island-hop north, sleeping on the boat or in remote beach huts, eventually landing in Coron on Busuanga Island, where your journey ends with epic views and even better stories.
This is the Philippines like you’ve never seen it — and may never see it again.
Fresh, Real, From-the-Island Meals
Out here, there are no fancy food deliveries. Just what the locals grow, catch, and cook — and it’s incredible.
Expect:
Coffee? Maybe. But we’ll stock up on ginger tea — boat-friendly and stomach-soothing.
If you’re into clean eating, this is the reset your gut will thank you for.
No Service. No Stress. No Problem.
Palawan is legit remote. You’ll have limited cell signal, no Wi-Fi, and power from small generators. Sounds terrifying? Or exactly what you’ve been needing?
This is your digital detox done right; more workouts, more sunsets, more actual connection.
Expect:
Disconnect to reconnect. You’ll be shocked how good it feels.
The Ultimate Philippines Adventure Retreat
This is the kind of trip that changes your compass. You’ll leave saltier, stronger, and way more present.
Paradise is calling. Are you in?
