Top Philippines Natural Attractions

Because of its unusual landscape, with towering pine trees growing on its sandy shores instead of the usual coconut palms found on most tropical beaches. Additionally, the cove's location at the foot of the Zambales mountain range gives it a dramatic and scenic backdrop, making it a favorite destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Take a break from the beach and spend the day discovering the hidden gems of Puerto Princesa on a sightseeing tour of the city centre. A great way for first-time visitors to orient themselves, this tour provides historical insight in the city and the island of Palawan, and transports you between dispersed attractions in air--conditioned comfort. Plus, hotel pickup and drop-off mean you don't need to worry about finding a meeting point.

Make the most of your limited time in Manila with a stress-free private shore excursion to Tagaytay, the Philippines’ scenic highland escape just a short drive from the port. Skip the hassle of planning and enjoy a guided journey to scenic viewpoints overlooking Taal Lake and Volcano—the world’s smallest active volcano—plus visits to The Gourmet Farm, where fresh produce and coffee are grown, and the Museo Orlina Art Museum. Relax over a delicious local lunch and cap off your trip with a stop at a pasalubong (a Filipino word for gifts) store to sample freshly baked buko pie (made from coconuts) before heading back to your ship.

Discover the world’s longest navigable underground river as you embark on a tour from Puerto Princesa to the Subterranean River National Park. Take a leisurely boat ride along the river and learn how the geological formation was created over thousands of years, with provided headsets so you can hear your guide clearly.
