Over the many decades we’ve spent travelling, the Philippines has always held a special place in our hearts and been one of our very favourite South East Asian destinations to visit.
Having travelled the Philippines pretty extensively over 6 separate trips, the only place left on our wish list was to visit Palawan, known as the ‘Last Frontier of the Philippines’ because it is one of the most bio-diverse regions in the Philippines and is composed of 100s of islands, lagoons and beaches ready to be explored.
WELL as the old saying goes… Save the best for last! and that certainly was the case!
Palawan BLEW OUR MINDS!
What an incredible mix of beauty, nature and adventure!
