About Us
Welcome to Abandoned Paradise Expedition – the premier choice for travelers who want an off-the-beaten-path adventure boat tour across the hidden islands of Palawan.
Since 2010, we have been providing transformative Philippine island expeditions with our emphasis on real island life and sustainable travel through our eco-friendly boat tours.
Our Mission
To guide our guests toward a deeper connection with Palawan’s natural beauty and local island culture.
Our Vision
To be a leading provider of sustainable and meaningful Palawan boat tours, offering unforgettable journeys that leave our guests full of wonder and our environment enriched.
Our Edge
Our 4-day island tour of Palawan begins by teaching guests basic survival skills on a secluded tropical paradise, from fire-making to finding fresh water. The following days are filled with real island life activities: snorkeling with sea turtles, visiting fishing villages, spear-fishing, coconut climbing, outdoor camping, and island cruising on a traditional Filipino banca boat.
Our Commitment
We strive to give our guests a deeper appreciation of all that Palawan has to offer. That’s why it’s essential for us to maintain small tour groups only (up to 12 people per group) with customized and authentic island-living activities for a more personal experience. Safety remains paramount; we comply with maritime regulations and ensure guests are well-informed through detailed safety briefings.
Our Team
Five passionate, skilled, and fun-loving individuals will join you in your journey. Our captain, two crew members, a chef, and a tour guide are all ready to share their in-depth knowledge of Palawan’s islands and the local culture. Each member is trained to deliver a safe, enjoyable, and enlightening experience for our guests. Our certified guides, in particular, have years of experience in survival education and freediving. They have honed their skills not only through professional training but also through countless hours at sea, making them local experts of marine and island life.
Our Boat
Enjoy a traditional Filipino banca experience! A “banca” is an outrigger boat known for its stability and ideal for scenic island cruising. Our banca is expertly maintained for comfort and safety, equipped with life jackets, a first aid kit, and a VHF radio onboard. We also provide snorkeling gear, allowing guests to explore the pristine reefs.
