Palawan Sea Kayaking The islands scattered north of Palawan offer one of the world’s most spectacular marine environments. Towering limestone cliffs rear straight up from seas teeming with marine life, and hidden bays offer deserted beaches for camping. The coral reefs here are amongst the most extensive in the country, so be sure to bring your snorkeling gear. Many islands are also covered in jungle, the habitat of rare bird species. If you are willing to carry your boat, you can explore some of the lakes on Coron Island, home of the reclusive Tagbanua Tribe. Internationally known tour operators run regular sea kayaking tours among the islands around northern Palawan.

Kayaking - The clear, blue waters are ideal for the novice. The rocky coast line and deserted sandy beaches can be reached within one half hour paddle. For the experienced and adventurous kayakers, Boracay can be circumnavigated in a day (a distance of approximately 20 kms) or neighbouring islands can be easily reached.
Two and three day camping trips down the coast of Panay, a large neighouring island, can be organized with accommodation in beach bungalows or camping right on the beach. There are good quality, challenging rapids for white water kayaking available only one hour from Caticlan and it is possible to organize trips that combine kayaking and mountain biking.

Singles USD 8.00 per hour, USD 30.00 per day

The best time for white water kayaking is July to November. Sea kayaking is good all year round although the rainy season is from July to November and it can be quite windy.
