The stops are very scenic but tend to be crowded even with the regulations on the number of passes that are handed out each day. to access some of the sits you have to walk over submerged rocks that are very slippery. While it will be difficult to avoid all of the scrapes good water shoes will help to reduce them.

We booked three tours with Corazon Travel and Tours with the intention of travelling to Palawan in early May. Unfortunately the pandemic intervened, in a very big way. We could neither leave Australia nor enter the Philippines. By the time I emailed their office to cancel the tours Palawan was in lockdown. Nevertheless I received an email to explain that they would not be able to process refunds until they were allowed to return to their office. A week ago I received a further email apologising for the delay and stating that they were now processing refunds but it may take time because of the volume. This morning I received my refund. I will certainly re-book with them if we ever actually visit the Philippines.
