The Overview:

Your itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The trip starts in Puerto Princesa, and you can check into your accommodation from 2pm where you will meet your group and host. In the early evening, it’s time for your traditional Becoming Solo welcome! A chance to get intentional about your trip, receive a message from the angels and connect with friends you’re about to embark on this adventure with.

Day 2: Today is a bucket list moment. You will experience one of the Seven Wonders of Nature! Prepare to visit the Subterranean Underground River, with lunch included. You will head to Port Barton after your tour, not back to the city, to maximise your time in paradise. Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by our partner hostel with a BBQ dinner party. A chance to get settled, and get to know your group and Filipino hosts over some local food. Here you will experience what it’s like to live in a traditional Filipino style home, yet furnished with modern facilities such as A/C, wifi, hot&cold showers, a bar, and full use of the communal kitchen.

Day 3: Port Barton is one of Palawan’s best kept secrets , a sleepy coastal town that most travelers rush past on their way to El Nido… which is exactly why it still feels untouched and magical. Today, you’ll spend the day island hopping through its most beautiful spots: sinking your toes into the powdery Starfish Sandbar, drifting over the colourful reefs of Tropical and Fantastic, and swimming alongside gentle turtles at Turtle Point. You’ll hop between tiny islands, float in crystal-clear water, and discover why Port Barton is such a hidden gem. Snorkelling gear, fresh drinking water, and a delicious local lunch are all included , just bring your sense of adventure.

Day 4: Begin your day with a gentle morning yoga class, easing into movement as the sun warms the coastline. After your practice, the rest of the day is yours to soak up the magic of Port Barton. Wander along its palm- ringed beaches, discover hidden coves, swim in turquoise water, and slip into the unhurried rhythm of island life. Whether you explore by foot, moto, or simply lounge by the sea, today is all about slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying Port Barton at your own pace.

Day 5: It’s time to head to your next destination with our partner transport supplier. You’ll always travel comfortable with us! El Nido is famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs rising from crystal-clear emerald waters, and its hidden lagoons tucked away within majestic rock formations. A very special first evening in El Nido, as the group head’s down to the beach for a sunset release and receive. A guided activity to release what no longer serves you, and call in what does!

Day 6: Today’s adventure in El Nido promises a series of breathtaking spots. Think a powdery white sand beach meets vibrant blue water. A big lagoon full of secret caves, only accessible by a gorge, which you will kayak through. A snorkeler’s paradise at Shimizu Island, full of colorful coral reefs and marine life. A secret lagoon, only accessible by climbing through the rock in the wall. And lastly visiting Payong Payong beach, surrounded by turquoise oceans and the famous lime stone rocks, where you can snorkel, swim and jump into the water!

Day 7: Your free day in El Nido! There is so much to see in do in El Nido, from zip lining over the ocean to a nearby island, lounging on their white sandy beaches, exploring the local shops, hiking Taraw Cliff, Nacpan Beach and so much more! A full list of activities and things to do will be given in your handbooks, so you all have the freedom and choice to do something you really want to experience.

Day 8, 9 & 10: As your journey nears its final chapter, it’s time to venture far beyond the usual path. Days 8 to 10 will take you on a breathtaking 3 day expedition through the remote northern islands of Palawan. A place where time slows, nature reigns, and everything feels a little more enchanted.

You’ll sail between untouched islands, sleep beneath the stars in traditional Filipino t huts, and gather around glowing bonfires as waves gently lap the shore. Evenings are spent stargazing, sharing stories, writing in your journal, and watching the sky burst into colour with some of the most unforgettable sunsets you’ll ever see.

This is your invitation to disconnect from the online world and re-enter the real one: fully, deeply, and with intention. To form genuine connections not only with the group, but with yourself. It’s an experience of simplicity, presence, and magic, the kind you’ll carry long after the trip ends.

Day 11: Your adventure comes to a close in the beautiful island town of Coron, tucked in the northern reaches of Palawan. It’s never goodbye, only a see you later. Your tour leader will be there to provide assistance with onward travel as you say see you later to your group
