You came to the country to see spectacular beaches and islands. You are surely going to experience the best of the best here in Palawan.

Batanes
This place can be found on almost everyone’s travel bucket list, and in my opinion this is the ultimate baptism to become a certified lakwatsero or lakwatsera just next to Palawan. Batanes is the place in the Philippines with landscapes so foreign but superbly stunning. Climate-wise, it is the only place in the country that experiences four seasons year-round since it’s close to Taiwan.

- IloIlo
Iloilo province is a jumble of the best things about traveling in the Philippines. Don’t just follow everything in the guidebooks because there are actually more to Iloilo than a mere working city and a tourist gateway. It has its own set of worthwhile places to visit that are still largely touristic so discover it while it’s unspoiled.
Tangke Lagoon
Isla de Gigantes
Bicol
Dreaming of adding some extraordinary photo souvenirs of nature to your collection of beach holiday selfies? Then head your way to Bicol. It is where you can find the world’s most perfect cone-shaped volcano and swim with whale sharks in addition to some of the country’s most scenic islands.
