Palawan, Philippines – A Pristine Archipelago with Purpose

#earthdayjourney Palawan is often dubbed the “last frontier” of the Philippines, with emerald waters, limestone cliffs, and hidden lagoons. Areas like El Nido and Coron promote eco-tourism through marine sanctuaries, reef restoration, and plastic-free policies. Local operators offer low-impact island tours, eco-resorts run on solar energy, and waste is managed via community programs. Travelers can snorkel, kayak, and explore caves while directly contributing to conservation efforts. Palawan’s balance of natural wonder and responsible tourism makes it one of Southeast Asia’s most stunning—and sustainable—island destinations.

It's not that the Maldives is too expensive, but that El Nido is more cost-effective.

Vacation in El Nido, Palawan

Big Lagoon

It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. El Nido itself is a charming village hidden between hills and the ocean. There is something really genuine about it, as tourism industry is relatively new here. Nevertheless, there is everything you might need here: hotels of all levels, restaurants and cafes, tourist shops, travel agencies. The village is small and I assume can be too crowded in high season. In June it wasn't. There are 3 tours offered - A, B, C. We've been to C and A. C means a lot of swimming and snorkeling and island hopping, secret beaches. A includes the famous big lagoon. They are really different so better go on several. Anyway there's not much else to do except the tours. They take most of the day and include great lunch of rice, vegetables, grilled fish and meet, fruits. Thanks to trip.com that we got cheap flights and enjoyed our vacation 👍💞
