HOW TO GET TO PALAWAN

Palawan is no longer the inaccessible, remote location that many people, even some Filipinos think it is. It is now conveniently accessible both by sea and by air. Manila flights normally take less than 90 minutes and many other routes have now opened from new destinations.

Boat trips can be arranged in Iloilo and Caticlan. When it comes to flights, most land at the main airport in Puerto Princesa.
