Today we board a plane which becomes a plane full of gals who explorers on their way to Puerto Princesa, the gateway to Palawan AKA Paradise! We travel by private minivans to the idyllic and unspoilt fishing town of Port Barton. On the way we stop to have lunch with a local family, taste some local cuisine, and grasp an understanding of their island lifestyle, whilst sipping on our favourite island drink of all time - a fresh coconut. After checking in to our beachfront hotel in Port Barton, enjoy the first of many idyllic Filipino sunsets, coconut or cocktail in hand, before venturing out to grab dinner with the gals.

It’s not every day we get to wake up In paradise, especially when the water is so crystal clear blue, so today we hope on a traditional Banca boat to explore the gorgeous waters. It’s time for some snorkelling we explore some of Palawan’s most beautiful spots filled with rainbow corals and maybe even a few turtles if we’re lucky! We stop island hopping for a delicious local-style lunch, and then we have a few hours to chill and take in the incredible scenery surrounding us. After a magical day of island life, we sail back to Port Barton for some dinner and drinks!

This is one of our favourites, and most certainly a place you will never forget ❤️ El Nido is one of the most gorgeous places we have ever seen. This is where paradise truly begins. El Nido is known for producing one of the best sunsets in the world, so after arriving at lunchtime and settling in, we head out for dinner and watch the sun go down in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Some of the local bars around here are super fun, so if you fancy it head out with some of the gals and enjoy.

Today is all about even more island hopping! You will see some of the most gorgeous lagoons in Bacuit Bay where you have the option to try some paddle boarding and snorkeling. It’s a place you will never want to leave but at least you have ticked it off the bucket list. We head back before sunset so that you gals have some downtime to chill and relax. Then we will all meet up for some dinner and reflect on probably one of the best days ever!

Now that we’ve experienced El Nido by water it’s time to explore it by land and what better way to do this than zooming from beach to beach on the most scenic zip line? After that, we wind down on one of the most famously pristine beaches of the Philippines - Nacpan Beach. Gals, with gorgeous palm trees towering over you this will be one of the most scenic beaches you have seen!

Today we head to Daracotan Island, where we explore shipwrecks along with a guided tour of the island. This is where you will experience the castaway vibes as this island is only home to 88 residents and some cute pigs that you might even get the chance to meet. We get the most incredible opportunity to meet a local family, hear fascinating tales of the local heritage, and learn how tourism positively impacts their lives today. In the evening, we take part in a traditional local cooking demonstration where we get to eat Filipino style! This is where we get to taste delicious local delicacies and dine together. A gorgeous evening, ending with a cute gathering around the bonfire, just us gals.

It’s time for a nice relaxed morning as it has been a jam-packed adventure since we started. Before we leave El Nido town, take in your last few moments before we catch the ferry to Coron, another well-renowned island of Palawan. If you fancy a few drinks tonight you can head out with the gals and experience all the fun that Coron at night has to offer.

Gals, today is our last full day together so we know it’s got to be extra special, so we squeeeeze in one last adventure. We hop on a boat to explore the beauty the island of Coron has to offer. Well take you around the gorgeous Coron Bay and then the most incredible underwater mountains. For the afternoon, we’ll head to the beach and soak up the sun, sea and sand in our tropical paradise. After that, we head back for one last dinner altogether with the gals before we prepare ourselves to say goodbye to our new besties tomorrow.

It’s sadly time for check out and to say goodbye to all the gals. Our gals who guide will be on hand to help you with any onward travel, whether you're heading home, joining us on another GWT trip or simply going solo. It’s been the most incredible trip and the memories you shared with what were 20 strangers, you will never forget. Don’t forget to stay in touch with each other in your gals who travel Philippines group chat too ❤️
