Overview

It would take several lifetimes to explore the 6,000-plus islands that make up the Philippine Archipelago, but since you?ve only got one to spare, spend it in the South. A haven for sunbathers and spelunkers alike, the Southern Philippines are a thrill to discover ? both above ground and under. Blessed with miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches, intriguing caves, and the two-tiered Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, the Palawan province is perfect for travellers eager to try their hand at a variety of experiences in an underexplored part of Southeast Asia. Looking for something different? You?ll find plenty of it here.

Explore underwater caves, travel by boat to witness limestone karsts rising from the ocean and snorkel around various islands.
