WILDLIFE. Calauit Island is a three thousand seven hundred (3,700) hectare game conserve and wildlife sanctuary alive with indigenous species and African wildlife like giraffes, zebras, and gazelles. Sea turtles, sea cows, and a different kind of marine life nestle on its shores.

UNDERGROUND RIVER. Beneath the St. Paul Mountain lies peaceful underground rivers which meander for about eight (8) kilometers before opening up into a clear lagoon flowing  INTO THE South China Sea. The Park also features the exciting Monkey Trail with its eries of wooden paths to the forest.

TABON CAVES. The oldest known habitation site in Southwest Asia, the Tabon Caves, unearthed a skull that dates back to twenty two thousand (22,000) years ago.

BEACHES. Visit the Balsahan or Tagbarung Swimming Resort, Kalis Point, or better yet, get a taste of El Nido. El Nido features back marble caves, tabletop corals, fantastic marine life, and the requisite white sand beach. Named after the swallow’s nest which proliferates in its mountain caves. El Nido also features one of the most delicious samplings of the freshest seafood in the land.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL HUNTS. Go down Cuyo Island and vist the Cuyo Spanish Church Fort with its massive ten-meter high and wide walls. Archaeologists have also unearthed stone-age tools, Chinese burial jars, and ancient ornaments in palawan’s numerous caves.
