Throughout this trip, we’ll stay in a mix of comfortable hotels and unique expedition style accommodations.
Most nights will be spent in hotels with shared twin accommodations (unless a private room upgrade is selected, subject to availability).
During the private 3-day expedition from Coron to El Nido, we’ll spend two nights in rustic beach campsites on remote islands. These campsites are simple and designed to immerse you in the beauty of Palawan. While they are not luxury accommodations, they offer an unforgettable experience that is often the highlight of the trip.
Photos of all accommodations, including the expedition campsites, are available on our website so you know exactly what to expect.

This is one of our most adventurous itineraries yet, and we want to be completely transparent about what to expect so you can decide if it’s the right fit for you.
This trip is fast paced. Throughout our 10 days together, we’ll be moving between multiple destinations across Palawan, typically changing locations every 2 nights. You’ll experience some of the most breathtaking places in the Philippines, from iconic lagoons and hidden islands to remote beaches that most travelers never get the chance to visit.
The highlight of this journey is our private 3-day, 2-night expedition from Coron to El Nido. During this portion of the trip, we’ll sail through untouched paradise, island hop through crystal clear waters, snorkel reefs, and spend our evenings on remote islands.
It’s important to note that the expedition accommodations are rustic and basic. You’ll be staying in simple beach campsites with shared sleeping arrangements (two travelers per room) and basic toilet facilities. Wi-Fi and cell service may be limited or unavailable, and creature comforts will be minimal.
This experience is all about disconnecting from everyday life and reconnecting with nature, adventure, and the people around you.
If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime adventure filled with island hopping, stunning scenery, meaningful connections, and memories you’ll be talking about for years to come, we think you’ll absolutely fall in love with the Philippines. 🇵🇭🌴✨

Visa requirements for the Philippines vary depending on your nationality.
Travelers holding passports from many countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and most countries in the European Union, can typically enter the Philippines visa-free for short stays when traveling for tourism.
However, entry requirements can change, and it is each traveler’s responsibility to verify the most up-to-date visa and entry requirements based on their specific citizenship before departure.
We recommend checking with your local Philippine embassy or consulate for the latest information. If you require documentation from Wander Where Adventures to support your visa application, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist.
Please note that all travelers must have a passport that is valid for at least six (6) months beyond their planned departure date from the Philippines.
