Explore the Hidden Wonders of Shimizu Island in El Nido!

Posted on June 2, 2023April 14, 2024 by niel

In Palawan, the view of limestone cliffs isn’t a new thing. But Shimizu Island is a cut above from the rest. It stands dominantly among the multiple islands in the province, with coves, towering cliffs, and a rich marine biodiversity that is peppered with colorful coral reefs.

You might wonder why an island in the Philippines sounds Japanese. But the lore behind it is that a Japanese woman named Shimizu tried to find an underwater cave but unfortunately did not survive her trip. Now, Shimizu Island is a sought after location in El Nido, but one that isn’t oversaturated with tourists.

Aside from the beautiful nature it offers, they also have an abundant monitor lizard population that some tourists get a chance to see. It is located further than Miniloc Island and can only be accessed through availing a Premium El Nido tour.

When you want to visit the wonders of El Nido, you should make sure that Shimizu is included!

Get in touch with Animals and Nature at the Calauit Island National Park!

Posted on June 2, 2023April 14, 2024 by niel

Located in Palawan is a little exotic island where Filipinos can visit and experience an African Safari. Calauit Island is composed of 3700 hectares of land that is now a wildlife preserve and is one of the sought after stops for Coron, Palawan enthusiasts.

Calauit Island National Park has a scarred beginning. In the late 70s, the Marcoses displaced the local Tagbanua indigenous tribe to make way for their “Little Africa” project. Back then, it aspired to become a new tourism business but it never launched. In 2009, the Tagbanua people reclaimed this island as their ancestral domain title and in the same year it opened for tourists.

When you visit here, make sure to bring your own camera and comfortable shoes as you explore. There are zebras, elands, and other endemic species such as civet acts and Calamian deer – among many! Admire the animals from a distance while riding a land rover, and make sure to minimize human contact with them.

Easiest way to get to Calauit Safari Park
Have a relaxing time in Palawan, and the only way to achieve that is by giving yourself the proper transportation system to get around!

Experience Nature and Adventure at the Puerto Princesa Underground River!

Posted on May 31, 2023April 14, 2024 by niel

When you’re in Palawan, you cannot possibly miss visiting the Puerto Princesa Underground River! It belongs to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s new 7 wonders of nature.

This underground river is one of the longest in the world, and it flows under the St. Paul Mountain Range. The cave stretches as long as 24 kilometers while the river is 8.2 kilometers. The regular tours will cover only 1.5 kilometers of the river, as that’s what regular boats fit in. If you secure a special permit, you can paddle yourself inside the entire span of the river to admire the various rock formations there.

Puerto Princesa contains a sea ecosystem and is a protected forest that contains 800 plant species, and is home to at least 174 birds, 84 mammals, 28 reptiles, and 12 amphibian species that are endangered, rare, and endemic to this part of the world only.

If you’re already in Palawan, don’t skip out on visiting this sought after site! If you get lucky, you can even see the 20-million year old Miocene-aged Serenial fossil among its walls.
