Corazon Travel & Tours

Corazon Travel & Tours

Corazon Travel and Tours sprung out of the budget hotel in Puerto Princesa, Corazon Tourist Inn, as the owners wanted to offer their customers better travel experiences than were on offer at the time (2014). (Corazon means “heart” in Spanish.)

The company was recently been recognised by the City Government of Puerto Princesa as one of the best travel agencies of 2017, and received Trip Advisors certification of excellence the following year, 2018. They also received a plaque of appreciation for their partnership with the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, as a travel agent that seeks to promote sustainable tourism and conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Corazon Travel and Tours offer travellers the chance to experience many wonders of Palawan with their Puerto Princesa Underground River Trips and El Nido and Honda Bay Island Hopping Adventures. Their local guides are friendly and super knowledgeable about the areas that they take you to visit!

  1. Nataly Enero –

    Amazing! This trip started with the tour guide picking us up right on time- and he was very patient with my 5 children loading up. Ecko (tour guide) from Corazon Tours was a wealth of information on the ride up and helpful. The underground river was awesome and I was very happy with the earbuds and prerecorded explanation-all in an effort to preserve the natural habitat. This was well organized, active and crazy fun!

FAQ

Can I do the trip from Sabang?

Yes, we can meet you in Sabang for the tour. The regular trips depart Sabang at around 9 AM.

When is the best time to go? 

Rainy season in Puerto Princesa is July – October. High season is  November to June. There is no bad time to visit the Underground River but conditions are generally better in the high season as the sea is calmer and weather tends to be sunny.

If your tour is unable to go ahead because of bad weather conditions, Corazon will work with you to find an alternative day to complete the trip.

What should I pack?

Pack light! You’ll be out for about 6-8 hours and moving from vans to boats and back again so you don’t want to be carrying anything too bulky.

Will I get wet?

You could get wet entering the boat so make sure you bring some flip-flops or sandals with you!
