About the Tour

Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the pristine Balabac Archipelago, one of the most stunning and untouched destinations in Palawan. Our Balabac Island Hopping Adventure 3 Days / 2 Nights Tour Package offers the chance to explore the Maldives of the Philippines, with its powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and diverse marine life.


Why Choose this tour?

Going to Balabac requires some effort, as it is located far from Puerto Princesa Airport, and travel costs can be relatively high due to the remoteness. However, the reward is an exclusive escape into nature’s untouched wonders. Our tour package is designed for comfort and convenience, ensuring you can explore this remote paradise without any hassle, allowing you to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Balabac.


Places You’ll Visit

Located in the southernmost tip of Palawan, Balabac is a hidden paradise made up of 36 unspoiled islands. The area is teeming with natural beauty, from breathtaking landscapes to rare wildlife, including the Philippine mouse-deer, dugongs, saltwater crocodiles, sawfishes, and sea turtles. During this tour, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a range of must-see destinations:

  • Candaraman Island – One of the most iconic destinations in the Balabac Archipelago, this island is famous for its pristine white-sand beach, crystal-clear waters, and spectacular marine life. Known as “Starfish Island,” it is home to large numbers of colorful starfish resting in its shallow turquoise waters.
  • Onuk Island – It is arguably the crown jewel of the Balabac Archipelago, renowned for its incredibly crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and unspoiled natural beauty. Onuk is also home to a protected giant clam sanctuary and is one of the best places in Balabac to encounter sea turtles in their natural habitat.
  • Patawan Island – Known for its powdery white sand, swaying coconut palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Patawan Island offers stunning beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and excellent opportunities for swimming and snorkeling.
  • Tangkahan Island – It is an undeveloped tropical paradise, offering a glimpse of Balabac’ more remote and untouched side. Quieter than other islands, its charm lies in its simplicity, peaceful atmosphere, and authentic island experience.
  • Sicsican Island –It is best known for its unique pinkish beach, created by the natural blend of fine white sand and tiny fragments of red and pink coral. Surrounded by calm, shallow turquoise waters, it is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying a peaceful tropical escape.
