Roxas, Palawan — Reefs & Remote Beaches
About this tour
Midway up the Palawan mainland, the quiet town of Roxas is a gateway to a scatter of islands and reefs that see almost no tourists, a refreshing alternative to the crowds of El Nido and Coron. This full-day island-hopping tour explores the waters around Roxas, including islands like Johnson and the wider Green Island Bay area, where powdery beaches meet healthy coral gardens.
You snorkel over vibrant reefs teeming with fish, laze on near-deserted white-sand shores and enjoy a fresh seafood lunch with little more than the sound of the waves for company. The reefs here are part of a productive marine environment, and on calm days the water is glassy and clear, ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
For travelers wanting authentic, peaceful Palawan island life without the boat-traffic jams, Roxas delivers in spades. This tour is a hidden-gem day out that captures the laid-back, untouched spirit of the province's central coast.
