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.

Palawan

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!

⛵ Sail the Last Great Frontier

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.

📍 From El Nido to Coron

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.

🍽️ Eat Like a Local (Because You Have To)

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:

  • 🐟 Fresh-caught seafood daily
  • 🥬 Local vegetables & tropical fruits
  • 🥚 Village-farmed eggs & the occasional chicken
  • 🍚 Rice = Filipino Power

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.

📵 Detox to Retox

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:

  • 🧘 Yoga on empty beaches
  • 🏋️‍♂️ SYB-style beach workouts
  • 💫 Group bonding under the stars
  • 🔥 Nights around the fire instead of the ‘gram

Disconnect to reconnect. You’ll be shocked how good it feels.

  • Traditional Filipino sailing boat 🛶
  • Daily workouts & guided movement 💪
