The archipelago includes 26 coral atolls, which submerge slightly into the ocean every year.
Numerous tourists are attracted here by the ideal, uncrowded beaches, as well as lush coral reefs, where divers from all over the world are drawn. Surfers will also be satisfied here, as they can find good waves to ride here. Many islands have luxury resorts where vacationers are entertained with various shows and trips around the islands.

The islands are densely overgrown with greenery, and when you go under the water, you can see an impressive picture of a coral reef, replete with all kinds of tropical marine life. It is no coincidence that Palawan is considered one of the best places on the planet for diving. The local fishing villages and lakes with emerald water are also interesting. The pearl of Palawan was the underground river flowing under the territory of the national park and the huge labyrinth of karst caves that formed near it.
