Embark on a 1,450 NM sail from Palau to the Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,600 islands, for a premier yachting, snorkeling, and hiking adventure. The Palawan region is a particular highlight, where the dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoons of El Nido and Coron create a spectacular backdrop for cruising. As part of the Coral Triangle, the Philippines is a world-class destination for underwater exploration. The vibrant reefs are teeming with life, from colorful fish, manta rays to whale sharks. Snorkelers can explore the serene freshwater lakes of Coron, witness the spectacular sardine run in Moalboal or experience encounters with sea turtles in Malapascua Island. Beyond the coast, the country's volcanic and mountainous islands offer rewarding hikes with trails that often lead to majestic waterfalls, terraced rice paddies, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the sea.
