Description

Snorkel Twin Reef's coral garden, spot sea turtles, walk a star-filled sandbar, and unwind at Paradise Beach Port Barton's most beautiful island secrets in one day.
Port Barton is what Palawan looked like before the crowds arrived. Tucked between El Nido and Puerto Princesa, this quiet fishing village sits at the edge of a bay filled with coral reefs, starfish sandbars, and islands that most visitors to Palawan never get to see. This island hopping tour takes you through the best of it — in one unhurried, guide-led day on the water.

Twin Reef — The tour opens underwater. Twin Reef is one of Port Barton's most rewarding snorkel sites two coral formations sitting side by side, alive with parrotfish, clownfish, and sea fans swaying in the current. The water here is clear enough to see the reef from the surface before you even put your mask on.

Exotic Island / Maxima Island — A relaxed island stop with calm, shallow waters and a beach that sees far fewer visitors than the more famous shores of northern Palawan. This is Port Barton at its most peaceful — just sand, sea, and silence.

Turtle Spot — Named by local guides for the sea turtles that frequent these waters. Your guide knows the currents and the best corners to look — and while wildlife never guarantees a show, this is one of the more reliable spots in the area for an encounter with Palawan's gentle sea turtles.

Fantastic Reef — A second reef stop that rewards patient snorkelers. The coral formations here are dense and varied, home to schools of fish that dart between the branches of staghorn coral and brain coral growing side by side.

Starfish Sandbar — Shallow, clear, and scattered with starfish just beneath the surface — this sandbar is one of the most photographed stops on the route. Step carefully, look down, and you'll find them resting across the sandy floor in every direction.

Paradise Beach — The final stop is exactly what the name promises. A wide stretch of white sand with calm water and a view of the surrounding islands that makes it hard to leave. Swim, rest, or simply sit with your feet in the sea before the boat brings you back to Port Barton village.
