Palawan's best resorts sit on private islands and in quiet coves, often hours from the nearest airport. How you get there sets the tone for the whole holiday. For most travellers, the best way is a private seaplane transfer.
1. You get your holiday time back
Road and ferry transfers in Palawan are long. A seaplane turns most of them into a flight of under an hour, with no terminals and no queues.
| Route | By road or ferry | By seaplane |
|---|---|---|
| Puerto Princesa → El Nido | 5+ hours by road | about 50 minutes |
| El Nido → Coron | 6–8 hours of ferry and transfers | about 45 minutes |
| Puerto Princesa → Balabac | a full day by road and boat | about 85 minutes |
2. The view is part of the trip
From the air, Palawan opens up: turquoise reefs, forest-covered mountains and beaches you cannot reach by land. Every seat has a window, so the flight becomes the first highlight of your stay.
3. Simple from start to finish
The aircraft is private, so it flies on your schedule. We coordinate your pickup and, where needed, the boat connection to your resort. You arrive relaxed instead of worn out by the journey.
4. Direct access to remote resorts
Many of Palawan's most exclusive resorts are on islands or in coves with no road at all. A seaplane lands on the water close to them, which is often the most direct way in. See the resorts we fly to.
5. A memory, not just a transfer
Taking off from the water and landing near your resort is something guests talk about long after the trip. For honeymoons, family holidays and special occasions, it turns the arrival into an event.
