Plan language: MagyarThe very best things to do in Palawan, Philippines begin with a trip along the 8.2-kilometer-long Puerto Princesa Underground River, a navigable river through limestone caves. From the city, you reach Honda Bay in forty minutes, where you snorkel among coral gardens at a depth of fifteen meters. End your day at Big Lagoon, with its crystal-clear turquoise water.
Step into a wooden banca and paddle a navigable river deep into the mountain. Inside, towering rock formations, a sandy beach and total darkness await you.
Gyors tények: A navigable underground river that winds some 24 kilometers through the limestone, though only 1.2 kilometers is accessible by boat. Thousands of swiftlets, whose edible nests are harvested in Asia for bird's nest soup, breed high against the cave ceiling.
Főbb látnivalók: Halfway through the trip the guide extinguishes all the lamps, after which darkness falls and you hear only the splashing of paddles and the clicking of the swiftlets. Above your head hang curtains of stalactites that were formed drop by drop over hundreds of thousands of years.
A tiny island with seventy-meter-high cliffs above a turquoise bay. Expect glass-clear water, hidden tidal pools and a beach you sometimes have all to yourself.
Gyors tények: On a small private island, limestone cliffs over seventy meters high tower above a narrow bay with mirror-smooth turquoise water. At most a few dozen villas are scattered across the slopes, and the entire complex runs entirely on solar energy with rainwater collection.
Főbb látnivalók: At low tide a hidden lagoon appears between the cliffs that you reach only on foot, with water that is completely refreshed by the ocean every six hours. From the higher lookout point you see the waves crashing against the limestone wall, while the cave below amplifies the roar into a deep, rumbling low note you feel in your chest.
Paddle through green waterways that change with every tide. Count on salt on your skin, tropical bird sounds and channels where the crowds are nowhere to be found.
Gyors tények: Every high tide flushes fresh seawater through this network of channels, causing the water level here to fluctuate by up to three meters. At low tide muddy tidal flats fall dry where starfish, conch snails and small stingrays wait for you.
Főbb látnivalók: When dusk falls, thousands of fireflies pulse above the mangrove canopies, a light show you only get to see at full moon. Older guides know the exact trees where a gentle tap conjures up glowing green fungi.
In an hour of swimming you see more coral and fish species than on some entire island-hopping trips. Turtles come so close here you can almost touch them.
Gyors tények: About 150 pesos per person goes directly to a local reef protection fund that guards this patch of sea. Green sea turtles of around 80 centimeters show themselves here almost daily and swim calmly between the snorkelers.
Főbb látnivalók: A collective of local fishermen has itself declared this reef a protected area and patrols it daily with a small boat. Underwater the guides silently point to white parrotfish nibbling away at the coral, while a green turtle with algae on its back glides right past your mask.
Here you step straight into a fairytale blue lake, right off the wooden deck. At eight meters deep you can still see every shell lying there, so crystal-clear is the water.
Gyors tények: Körülbelül nyolc méter mélyen még minden egyes kavicsot csillogni látsz, olyan kristálytiszta a víz. A fehér mészkőmeder visszaveri a napfényt, és szinte fluoreszkáló türkiz ragyogást kölcsönöz a tónak, míg a magas mészkőfalak minden szelet és zajt kívül tartanak.
Főbb látnivalók: A lebegő fa stégről úgy tűnik, mintha folyékony üvegből készült tavacska fölött lebegnél, a meder olyan meredeken ereszkedik le, hogy a mélység hirtelen nem is ijesztő többé. A helyi idegenvezetők soha nem vetnek horgonyt, kötéllel tartják egyensúlyban a csónakot, hogy az a fehér mészkőmeder, olyan áttetsző, mint egy frissen mosott lepedő, sértetlen maradjon.
Paddle through a cave and emerge into a lagoon with turquoise water. Within an hour you see mangroves, birds and silence.
Gyors tények: Two lagoons are connected to each other via a short underwater tunnel, causing the water to shift color at every tide change. Guides recommend calm weather, because with heavy waves the narrow cave entrance can quickly become impassable.
Főbb látnivalók: The magic lies in that one minute of darkness: paddling, you glide through a narrow cave opening and emerge into a quiet clearing where sunlight dances on the turquoise water. Stay as quiet as a mouse and you hear only the splashing of your paddles and birdsong among the mangrove roots.
Your own island lagoon where you jump straight from your terrace into the water. Snorkel among thousands of fish, wade across the sandbar at low tide and sleep above the reef.
Gyors tények: Naponta kétszer eltűnik a tengervíz a lagúnából, és csak egy sekély, tükröződő pocsolya marad, amelyet térdig érő vízben gázolsz át. A víz színe az árapállyal együtt változik, a tejes türkiztől a sötét smaragdzöldig, egy élő show bármelyik nyugágyból.
Főbb látnivalók: Válassz egy szállást a víz keleti oldalán, mert ott szinte minden reggel egy ezüstszínű apró halraj bukkan fel a teraszod alatti oszlopok körül. Alkonyatkor tucatnyi angolna jelenik meg a korallok között, amint a nap lenyugszik, egy látványosság, amelyet a mólóról zseblámpával követhetsz közelről.
Calm center of island life, where faith and sea meet. Visitors hear the gentle rhythm of bells and prayers while the sea breeze blows through the open doors.
Gyors tények: "A meszelt korallfalak és a sötét fa tető teszik ezt az istenházát a kikötőnegyed fő látványosságává. Évente több ezer látogató lép át a küszöbén, halászoktól vitorlázókig, miközben a harang minden reggel hatkor ébreszti a negyedet."
Főbb látnivalók: "A főoltár melletti polcon három megviselt mentőgyűrű lóg, amelyeket a hatvanas években egy zátonyra futott hajóról mentettek ki. A tengerészek még ma is egy gyertyával hálálják meg ezt a hagyományt, így a kápolna mindig a viasz, korom és tengeri só keverékének illatát árasztja."

This flaky coconut pie is Palawan's most famous pasalubong style dessert, stuffed with tender young coconut meat and creamy filling. It is sold at nearly every bakery on the island and tastes best warm and just out of the oven.

This is a sticky rice cake wrapped and boiled in banana leaves until soft and chewy. Locals enjoy it with a dusting of brown sugar or a drizzle of sweet coconut caramel.

Palawan bakers fill these golden pastry discs with sweetened local cashew paste instead of the usual mung bean. The island grows plenty of cashews, giving this snack a distinctly rich and nutty taste.
This is a Palawan version of ceviche, where ultra fresh raw fish is cured in vinegar and calamansi with ginger and chili. It is a beloved fishermen's dish that celebrates the island's daily catch.
Palawan is home to crocodile farms, and local cooks turn the lean meat into this spicy, sizzling dish. The tender crocodile bits are minced with onions and peppers for a flavor that surprises many visitors.
Lato, also called sea grapes, are tiny green seaweed bubbles that pop like caviar in the mouth. Vendors along Palawan's beaches dress them in vinegar, tomato, and onion for a cool and briny sensation.

Fresh from young green coconuts, this sweet clear water is Palawan's everyday thirst quencher. Vendors often sell it straight from the cracked shell right on the beach.

This is a mild, sweet fermented rice wine that Palawan households brew for fiestas and family gatherings. It has a gentle, fruity tang and is often served chilled with sticky rice inside the cup.
