Inside Scoop

If you have a group, taking private boat tours instead of organized tours will give you more freedom & cost efficient!

Outpost Hostel was one of the best hostels we experienced in SE Asia!

El Nido Party Boat is an epic and boozy alternative to the usual tours.

You can dive through a spooky fleet of WWII Japanese Warships off of Coron! Advanced Open Water certs only.

Be careful when exploring - some islands, like Palawan, are paradise. Others can be downright dangerous. Do your research.

AVOID THE WATER/ICE IN EL NIDO.

Diving WWII Wrecks in Coron, Philippines

In September of 1944, a fleet of Japanese war ships were hit and sunk around Coron, the Philippines. Today, the ships remain underwater as some of the best wreck dive sites in the world.

Island Hopping in Coron & El Nido, Philippines

No place screams TROPICAL VACATION quite like the Philippines. We island hopped around Coron and El Nido on the island of Palawan for 10 days and came away tan, tired, and completely blissed out.
