Palawan

Die Große Lagune in El Nido, Palawan, ist eines der fotogensten Naturwunder der Philippinen — eine Kathedrale aus steilen Kalksteinwänden, die eine ruhige türkisfarbene Lagune umschließen, nur durch einen engen Spalt in den Felsen zugänglich und ruhig genug zum Kajakfahren. Die türkisfarbenen Flachwasser der Lagune, die dramatischen, mit kletternder Vegetation bedeckten Felswände und der Anblick von Eisvögeln und Mauerseglern, die darüber hinwegziehen, schaffen eine unwirkliche Atmosphäre abgeschiedener natürlicher Perfektion. Sie ist das Herzstück von El Nidos berühmten Insel-Hop-Touren.

Coron Bay in Palawan, Philippines, is considered one of the world's top wreck diving destinations, its shallow warm waters concealing twelve Japanese warships sunk during a US Navy air raid in 1944. The wrecks, encrusted with coral and inhabited by diverse marine life, lie at diveable depths ranging from 10 to 42 meters and are accessible from Coron Town. The surrounding twin lakes (Kayangan and Barracuda), limestone cliffs, and pristine lagoons make Coron equally spectacular above water.

El Nido is the gateway town for Bacuit Bay in northern Palawan, a UNESCO World Heritage-adjacent seascape of 45 limestone karst islands and islets rising from impossibly turquoise water. The bay's network of lagoons, coral reefs, beaches, and dive sites is widely considered one of the most beautiful island environments in the world. Island-hopping tours from El Nido visit the Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Shimizu Island, and Seven Commandos Beach, each offering a different facet of this extraordinary island paradise.
