Linapacan Island, Palawan, Philippines

Palawan is known as the ‘Last Frontier’ of the Philippines. It’s a paradise of white sand beaches, tourquoise water and limestone cliffs. It’s a mecca for nature lovers and those looking to get away from it all. Still in the early stages of tourism it can be a little tricky to plan as information and communication can be challenging. When we first started to research the area in 2011 there was very little information to go by and when you’re trying to plan a trip from half way around the world that can be a little scary. It’s gotten a lot better. I’ve been asked a lot of questions from people wanting to visit this beautiful area so I’d like to share what I’ve found to help others plan their trip. 

Weather 

We were in El Nido in January. The weather was beautiful, sunny and hot. Make sure you bring lots of sunblock and a hat. Bacuit Bay, where all the island hopping is done, was quite choppy and windy.
