moderate.
8 days.
Light to moderate fitness; you should be comfortable boarding small boats, walking on uneven trails, and swimming short distances for snorkeling.
Basic swimming ability is recommended for snorkeling and entering/exiting small boats, but guides provide flotation devices and supervised entry points.
Some island entrance or environmental fees are sometimes collected locally and may not be included—bring small cash to cover these on-site charges.
Shared island-hopping tours usually use small bangka boats with mixed groups; expect up to 10–20 guests per boat depending on the operator.
This particular package uses fixed packed lunches on some tours and may not accommodate specialized dietary requirements—notify operators in advance but plan contingencies.
Coron’s bays hide WWII shipwrecks from the 1944 Japanese fleet; these wrecks have become both historical sites and marine habitats. Boracay transformed from a fishing community into a tourist magnet in the late 20th century.
Both Palawan and Boracay enforce local rules to protect reefs and shorelines; use reef-safe products, avoid touching coral, and practice carry-in/carry-out waste habits.
