Palawan Eco-Tourism Attractions

Calauit Island Palawan

The Calauit Island in Busuanga, a declared game preserve and wildlife sanctuary, was set up in the late 1970s as the Philippine government’s response to the international community’s call to help save the diminishing African animal population, particularly in Kenya. Animals such as giraffes, zebras and impalas co-exist with endemic Philippine animals like the Palawan bearcat, mousedeer and peacock pheasant.

Thru Executive Order No. 722 signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on December 12, 2008, the management of Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary in Busuanga was transferred from Palawan Council for Sustainable Development to the Provincial Government of Palawan on March 23, 2009 and its name was changed to Calauit Safari Park.

El Nido Palawan

From its ageless towering marble cliffs to its white sandy beaches with crystal clear water, many refer to it as paradise. There are over 50 beaches to discover, so many in fact that sometimes you feel as if you are on your own secluded private beach. You will also find enchanting lagoons with tranquil turquoise-green water, caves that can take you to hidden beaches, and a very diverse variety of wildlife.

Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and World Heritage Site

Formerly St. Paul Subterranean River National Park, it is a deep cavern beneath the rugged limestone and marble cliffs of Mt. Saint Paul where an 8-kilometer underground river flows, the special feature of the park. It is known as one of the world’s wonders. Outside the river’s mouth is a beautiful lagoon that teems with fish. The park is inhabited by a variety of exotic animals like the macaque monkeys, monitor lizards and snakes.

Mount Victoria Palawan

Also known as Victoria Peak, this mountain in central Narra stands at 1726 m with twin peaks and form the largest contiguous land area and second highest portion of the Mount Beaufort Ultramafics geological region, a series of ultramafic outcrops of Eocene origin, that includes Palawan's highest peak, Mount Mantalingahan, which is 2085 m high.

Arena Island Palawan

Arena Island is about 1.5 to 2 hours of boat ride from the port of Narra. This island is a sanctuary for pawikan or sea turtles. It serves as a nesting site for Hawksbill and Green turtles.

Estrella Falls Palawan

Fresh cool waters cascading rapidly from Victoria Peak to twin falls at the mountain’s edge, Estrella Falls is a favorite destination of locals and visitors. The clear waters flow to three natural pools of varying depths. One has a depth that is just right for good swimmers; another has a medium depth that is safe for those who do not swim well and there is a shallow pool that is ideal for children. It won the Cleanest Inland Body of Water - River Category in the national search. Through the initiative of the Municipal Government of Narra, resort facilities have been provided such as cottages, huts, shades, rest rooms and provisions for grilling. From the South National Highway, it is 6 kilometers from Barangay Malatgao. For commuters, Estrella Falls can be reached by hiring a tricycle or a jeepney at Poblacion, Narra.

Barracuda Lake Palawan
