The long way through Palawan, and the one worth taking if you have the days. Cebu for the canyon and the sardines, then Coron and El Nido back to back for the two best sets of lagoons in the country, joined by the fast ferry rather than a flight. Puerto Princesa and the Underground River before the run home through Manila.
Built by our planners and made yours: change the dates, the pace, the hotels, or the whole shape of it. Nothing here is fixed except the thinking behind it.
The route, broken down.
Day 01Land in Cebu, drive south to Moalboal
Arrive and head straight down the coast so the first morning is already on the water.
Day 02Kawasan canyoneering and the sardine run
Down the gorge in the morning, into the sardine shoal in the afternoon, back to Cebu for the night.
Day 03Fly to Coron, hot springs and Siete Pecados
A morning flight to Busuanga, then the afternoon at the Maquinit hot springs and the reef at Siete Pecados.
Day 04Island hopping the Coron lagoons
Kayangan, Twin Lagoon and the wrecks and reefs around them, the whole day on one boat.
Day 06Island hopping in Bacuit Bay
The lagoons, the beaches and the karsts that El Nido is known for, a full day among them.
Day 07Down to Puerto Princesa for the Underground River
The van south through Palawan, then the subterranean river that runs out under the limestone to the sea.
Day 08Fly to Manila
Into the city, with the afternoon and evening free.
