For the last few years Kingsley and I have being hearing such amazing things about Palawan island in the Philippines so it has been on our bucket list to visit for a while. We took advantage of the Christmas and New Years holiday to spend 2 weeks exploring and sailing around Palawan island and up to Coron.

Palawan island consists of over 1,700 islands that stretch over 1200 miles and was voted the World's # 1 Island in Travel + Leisure 2013 worlds best awards. Maui came in at # 3! Palawan is considered the "last ecological frontier" due to its vast unexplored jungles and coastlines. For those longing to scuba dive or snorkel off the edge of the map and explore a remote but pristine tropical paradise with Indiana Jones hat in hand, Palawan is just the place. I even bought Kingsley an Indiana Jones hat just for the occasion!
