In 2011, the area received a huge boost, when New7 announced its list of the 7 Wonders of Nature – counting 500 million votes in the process.

LINAPACAN ISLAND

Linapacan is an average- sized island in the Calamianes group, situated between Coron to the north and the Palawan mainland to the south. It is said that  Linapacan waters are so clear that you can plainly see even your toenails underwater and it also boasts of the whitest of sands, even similar to those of Boracay.

Because of its less number of population compared to other popular beaches in the Philippines,  Linapacan islands offers a quiet, peaceful and soulful beach holiday. It is perfect place to spend your vacation while enjoying privacy in a world class vacation spot.  This is surely the ideal place for people who simply wish to enjoy the calm wonders of nature.

TAYTAY, PALAWAN

The island of Taytay is located in the northern part of Palawan. Back in the 1600’s, the island wasn’t as quiet as it is now because it used to be the capital of the province.

SAN VICENTE, LONG BEACH

Touted by local tourism officials as the “longest white beach in the Philippines,” the Long Beach of San Vicente straddles 14 kilometers of undeveloped shoreline, more than three times longer than Boracay’s White Beach. But the stretch isn’t uninterrupted. Rocky cliffs jut out into the sea, breaking what could have been a continuous expanse of sugary paradise into six shorter coves.

CUYO ISLAND

Cuyo is a small community that punches above its weight and carried great importance specially during Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Being the oldest town in Palawan, it served as the province’s second capital from 1873 to 1903, influencing the culture, language and tradition of the whole province. Cuyunon, its native dialect is still widely spoken by the elders in the mainland Palawan until today.

TUBBATAHA REEF

Since divers discovered Tubbataha in the late 1970s, it has become recognised as one of the most remarkable coral reefs on our planet. The CNN travel website, cnngo.com, ranks it among the top eight dive sites in the world.

Because of its isolated location, Tubbataha can only be visited on a liveaboard boat. Divers can experience the reefs' dramatic underwater terrain, awe-inspiring biodiversity and encounter large marine animals such as sharks, turtles and manta rays.

As a visiting diver you play a key role in Tubbataha's future, as your conservation fees provide the funds we need to protect the park from illegal exploitation.

TABON CAVES

The Tabon Caves, dubbed as the Philippines' Cradle of Civilization, are a group of caves located on Lipuun Point, north of Quezon municipality, in the south western part of the province of Palawan on Palawan Island, in the Philippines.
