For man it is to know that and to wonder at it. "

Lakbay PAlawan
It first started as a vision to introduce the immaculate beauty of the islands we call home. To provide serenity and respite to souls craving adventure and seeking to immerse in the calling of our natural world. These are food for the soul.
We gathered to conceive the creation of a journey of a lifetime – Lakbay Palawan. Our aim is to bring fulfillment to your desire (even temporarily) of liberation from the never-ending demands of life and society.
Our goal is to share the experience of being in a natural open expanse, engulfed by diverse forms of life- there is nothing as vast and liberating as the sea and its constellation of islands.
For a few days, walk the life of the islanders, savour the freshness of the local cuisine, be one with the earth, and detach from the berating expectations of society.
We welcome you to Lakbay (Journey) with us as we explore the hidden and uncharted Palawan archipelago!
