Aquaholics Dive Centre

We provide both dive courses (SSI) and specialty courses such as deep and wreck diving as well as diving for certified divers. Our dive shop is in the beautiful town of Port Barton. We are situated on the beach next to Summer Homes.

One of these days you will never forget!!! It was our first diving ever. Martyn explained everything and showed us how to dive save. And then we just enjoy 3 dives in one day plus. I just mentioned that I like freediving so Martyn took extra pair of long thins and in between we did some awesome freedives where I was able to sit on seabottom for 30 seconds in 10 m deph and just watch corals with thousands of fishes...
Water was incredibly clear and corals colourfull. Local dive guids showed us unvisible rayfish hiden under sand and huge crocodilefish which I recognized only when I got very close.
I am giving a ten stars out of five. Lovely people#fun#great dive
Please mind that in Port Barton is no ATM $...

Sabang Beach

Reviewed By TavellerCan - Antalya, Turkey

We had a short break in Sabang beach when we qere going to Puerto Princesa , I spent almost 45 minutes and enjoyed roaming along the beach and drinking mango juice :) I would say Sabang Beach is second most beautiful beach in Palawan. (AFTER NACPAN)Coconut trees will be towering u all the beach along.But not suitable for swimming.Currents are very strong and better not swim far from the shore.Enjoy

Tarvis Dive Center

Reviewed By christie81079 - Geneva, New York

I absolutely loved my time with this dive team! I hadn't been diving in 5 years, so I was in need of a refresher. This was the most perfect spot. The off shore diving was spectacular, and Rich, the dive master was the best instructor I've ever worked with. I wish I did my Open Water at this place! ..and not to mention the fish and coral. Treat yourself, dive here!

German Island

Inaladelan island resort formerly known as German island, is now accepting direct booking for campers and day tour passengers. for inquiries and Reservations you may check our website or our facebook page inaladelan island resort.

Reviewed By stephan j - London, United Kingdom

German island seems to be a fixture on most island hopping tours around Port Barton. In fact the island has a lovely little palm fringed beach and you can enjoy drinks and food there. However, around lunch time the beach seems to be heaving with boats and tourists and is best to be avoided at that time

Papawyan Falls

Reviewed By JonderP83 - England, United Kingdom

I was in Port Barton for quite a while so I decided to hire a Scooter for the day and head to the waterfall. The automatic scooter was obtained from a place on Rizal Street, they charge 650PHP and were honest people.
The drive is a bit confusing, I used maps.me to navigate my way and after about 25 mins I found the entrance hut where you can make a small donation to get to the falls.
You then have a 15-20 minute hike through jungle (just follow the river), you will find some steps in certain places to help you and hopefully more should be in place by now as they were working on them when I went in April 2017.
Eventually you will come across the falls where you have a great fresh water pool to cool down and swim in, there are also toilets provided and a hut to sit and eat or drink inside.
Great spot which I had all to myself for a couple of hours although it's probably an ideal spot to take friends!
Oh and if you find my camera cover here please send it back to England for me!

Long Beach

Reviewed By Becky R - Seoul, South Korea

This is an amazing beach with only sand and great swimming opportunities. Since it is not well known, it is very empty. However, since it is not well known, there are shops or restaurants nearby so bring lunch if you want to stay longer and set up a drop-off and pick up time with a tricycle driver...or rent a motorcycle for the day.

Ugong Rock

Reviewed By Григорий К

An interesting rock, amazing rifts, strange "singing stones" .. And an endless stream of tourists ушер indifferent guides. You feel constantly in the crowd. The place is amazing, but no magic is felt. Remains the feeling is not a mysterious and amazing place, but the average quality of the attraction.

Reviewed By Antoine E - Paris, Île-de-France, France

Very friendly French people but the goods they are selling is very bad quality. I bought 6 bracelets and none of those are still fine once you wear it. Too bad. 40 Pesos each.. For nothing!

My fiancée and I opted for the double subwing experience and had the best time. It is super easy to use and both the guy who runs it and the boat driver were so friendly. Saw lots of amazing fish and even a sea turtle....MoreThank you Edward! Whole trip went so smooth with your positive vibe! We loved it! Have a safe trip guys and hopefully see you again in the future ;)
