At our very own private beach camp, we gather around the fire in the evening. Excellent! Our native guides will take care of everything, including grilled fish, pork, rice, veggies, and fruit, so you don’t need to worry about meals either. You will sleep in tents right on the beach in paradise in the evening.

The second day of your island-hopping excursions is today. You’ll still love touring little islands, swimming around coral reefs and among turtles, taking a shower in jungle waterfalls, and simply soaking it all in.

Please be aware that depending on each departure, the activities on days four and five may change.

After breakfast, spend some time admiring your breathtaking surroundings before we board a bus and go to El Nido. You’ll see why Palawan was dubbed the world’s most beautiful island when we get there. We are fortunate to be able to present El Nido, a hidden gem surrounded by islands and sheer cliffs.

We shall check into Palawan’s funkiest hostel as soon as you get your act together. This chic accommodation has a boutique hotel-like appearance rather than a backpacker hostel! After settling in, take your One Life family to our favourite beach restaurant for dinner and entertainment in the evening.

Prepare to become fully immersed in the distinctive culture of the Philippines! Before reaching our private jungle hut for an exciting day, we’ll go on a little jungle walk to discover more about the plants and animals that thrive in the verdant rainforest. Cooking real Filipino food, climbing coconut trees, traditional Filipino stick fighting, shaving coconuts, learning Filipino dances and kid-friendly games, weaving coconut leaves, and more are all part of today’s activities. After that, you can unwind on the breathtaking Las Cabanas Beach and ride the optional zipline. You won’t soon forget the thrilling experience of flying across the ocean between two islands and then unwinding for a day!

Unfortunately, everything good has to end! A private van transfer back to Puerto Princesa is included on the last day of your tour. At 7 AM, the van leaves Spin.

Please be aware that in order to guarantee enough time for the transfer, visitors departing from Puerto Princesa should not schedule their flights before 3 PM.

You can book your trip on the Air Swift website if you would rather fly from the tiny airport in El Nido back to Manila. This alternative saves you from having to return to Puerto Princesa for your flight, although it is a little more costly.

Final destination: Spin Hostel, located at the intersection of Balinsayaw Road and Calle Real in El Nido, 5313 Palawan, Philippines
