Hi Ryan,

I read in other website that the weather in Palawan is six months dry (November- April) and six months wet (May-October)
But i still have to ask:
Which month is the best time to visit Palawan?
Is end of May a good time to go?
We plan to visit Honda Bay and Puerto Princesa Underground River.
How is the night life in Palawan?

Thanks for your time.

hello
i used your site in my last holiday. my hubby (south african) and I went to pagudpud and vigan then hundred island, with your sites help it was an adventure… it was during the holy week so it was so busy and we didnt really book in advance so we were travelling with our fingers crossed that there would be places for us to stay. it was an adventure.. we even took public transports.

this year another trip for us now i wanna be prepared. we would have a 4 month old baby with us. im thinking about palawan.. coron sound nice but im not keen into diving. so thinking about puerto princessa and el nido… (hes been to maldives so its very difficult to impress him.) i wanna impress him about our culture and the people. my question… is there any hospital or doctor just in case anything happens (worried how safe it would be for the baby)? and where can we stay in El NIdo?

Thanks a million

You may want to update your information regarding the Monkey Trail. When we were there in Dec 2010 it had been totally destroyed for about 6 months. the Jungle Trail is still open though.

Amazing pictures.Very informative review . I ve been wanting to see Palawan ,camarines sur/ norte . I will make sure that on my next visit to PI. (I am US based ) visiting these places are on the top of my list. BTW, I totally agree with Ryan that Philippine cities are alot safer . Mabuhay Philippines.!!!!!!

I think that Philippine cities are way safer than most cities in the US. The United Nations ranked the Philippines with a lower murder per capita than the US. :)

Hi Michelle,

I think you’re referring to the Dos Palmas kidnappings way back in 2001. Since then there are no other attacks that I have heard of in Palawan. I actually went all around Honda Bay (where the kidnapping took place) last December and I felt 100% safe. Actually that incident 9 years ago is still affecting tourism in Palawan to this day, but I don’t know why as it was an isolated incident. I’ve been to Palawan 3 times now and have been amazed by it’s unique beauty each time. And there has never been a time I have felt like I was in danger there.
To reassure you some more; near El Nido there are gas fields so the Philippine Navy has a presence in the area. Also the super luxurious Amanpulo Resort is frequented by many A list celebrities and VIPs who seem to have no major safety concerns as they return to Palawan again and again.
If you’re still worried about your safety in Palwan then don’t go, but you will seriously be missing out on some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the world.
