Underground rivers, Bacuit Bay island hopping and whale sharks across two islands
View Day-by-DayPrices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in February 2026). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
The route is fully vegetarian-friendly, with dedicated cafes near each hotel — Namaskar and Artisans in Puerto Princesa, plus Indian and plant-based spots in El Nido and Cebu City.
Palawan delivers the Underground River and Bacuit Bay lagoons; Cebu adds whale sharks and canyoneering. A short internal flight links them without backtracking.
El Nido Tours B and C are shared boat tours. Snorkel gear and kayak hire are small add-ons paid locally; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag.
Oslob whale sharks require a pre-dawn departure (around 3-5am) for the calmest water and best encounter; the Underground River and canyoneering days also start early.
Boat tours depend on sea and weather conditions and may be reordered or swapped for safety. February falls in the drier season with generally calm seas.
