Underground River, Palawan
Now known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, it was the Underground River when we visited in 2000. Very beautiful area with lots of wildlife, great harbour and beach and interesting cave…
Banaue 1999
Located in Ifugao province in Northern Luzon, the Banaue rice terraces are often referred to as the eight wonder of the world. These impressive terraces were created by hand over a period of about 2,000 years…
Pulupandan Island
We had a short very early morning visit to Pulupandan Island in the Isla Gigantes group in November 2022. This is a very small island with just a few huts and a few trees in the middle. We were the only visitors during our stay there. One gets a sense of isolation in this otherwise beautiful and pristine island.
Rock Formations
The Philippines is blessed with so many beautiful islands. Along with the many wonderful beaches, many islands also have beautiful rugged terrain surrounding the islands. Tall limestone cliffs and other interesting formations are common in the Isla Gigantes area (as well as some other parts of the Philippines).
Coron, Palawan
The islands are some of the most amazing in all of the Philippines. Limestone peaks and cliffs, great snorkling and scuba diving (including fresh water, cave and wreck), beautiful lagoons and a wildlife sanctuary make this one of the most desired nature holiday destinations in the world.
Cabugao Gamay
Cabugao Gamay is located on the northern tip of Antonio Island (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Cabugao Island). It has a beautiful white sand beach with water on both sides. A short climb up the nearby hill provides a wonderful view of the beach and is often referred to as Selfie Island because of the stunning view.
Bantigue Island Sandbar
We stopped by this island and sandbar in November 2022 for an early morning wander and then for lunch. The sandbar is often submerged so we were lucky to visit during a very low tide.
