Explore Palawan
Most travelers enter Palawan via Puerto Princesa, which makes a practical starting point for onward travel to San Vicente (Long Beach area and Port Barton) and El Nido. If you want a more direct and flexible ride, a private car with driver is a convenient option for point-to-point transfers—especially for small groups coordinating specific pick-up locations, hotel drop-offs, or airport arrivals. For budget-friendly transport, shared vans and buses also operate on these routes, but routes, pick-up points, and departure times can vary depending on season and local operations.
San Vicente sits along the route between Puerto Princesa and El Nido, so it works well as a stopover if you want to split travel days and add beach time in between. Travelers staying in Port Barton typically use Port Barton-based services, while travelers staying in the Long Beach area usually meet tours and boats at Poblacion (for example, island hopping departures are commonly arranged at Poblacion Wharf rather than the Long Beach shoreline). To plan your base and activities, you can browse the San Vicente Travel Guide and the main San Vicente Tour Packages page for island hopping and land tour options.
For travelers heading farther south to Balabac, Puerto Princesa is also the usual staging point for overland travel to the Port of Buliluyan in Batarraza, where guests typically continue by boat for Balabac island tours. If you’re planning this route, it helps to arrange the transfer early so your pickup time aligns with your target arrival at Buliluyan port, especially when coordinating with onward boat schedules and tour meet-up times. You can review Balabac tour options through Balabac Tour Packages before planning transfers.
If you’re building a multi-stop itinerary, it helps to group activities by area—Puerto Princesa for city-based tours and side trips, San Vicente for Port Barton and Long Beach experiences, and El Nido for island hopping and northern Palawan highlights. You can also compare pre-arranged options through Puerto Princesa Packages and El Nido Packages, then match them with the right transfer type (private car, shared van, or bus) based on your group size and comfort preference.
Explore Both Worlds of Puerto Princesa and El Nido from San Vicente
San Vicente is a practical base if you want to experience both Puerto Princesa and El Nido without rushing, because it sits between the two destinations along the main overland route. Staying in San Vicente lets you slow down the travel pace, add beach-focused days to your itinerary, and choose transfers that match your exact pick-up and drop-off points. This is especially helpful for travelers who want to combine inland attractions and city-side tours in the south with the island and lagoon experiences in the north. It also supports flexible planning: you can route your trip Puerto Princesa → San Vicente → El Nido (or the reverse) and tailor tours based on where you sleep each night.
Port Barton is part of San Vicente in Palawan, Philippines. San Vicente is located between Puerto Princesa (gateway to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park / Underground River) and El Nido, making it an ideal base for exploring northern Palawan. Its crown jewel is Long Beach (San Vicente)—the longest white-sand beach in the Philippines, about 14.7 kilometers long, stretching across four coastal barangays: Población, New Agutaya, San Isidro, and Alimanguan, and often regarded as the 2nd longest in Southeast Asia. San Vicente is also known as the Beach Village Capital of the Philippines because each of its 10 villages has its own stunning white-sand beach of at least 1 kilometer, and Port Barton is one of these villages—loved for its serene, laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals.
Must-try activities in San Vicente include swimming with turtles on Day 1 (Port Barton), exploring Long Beach and enjoying a mangrove river cruise with kayaking on Day 2 (Long Beach), and taking a land tour on Day 3 (Long Beach) to visit scenic selfie spots overlooking the ocean and inland landscapes—made even more convenient when you book your accommodation in the Long Beach area.
Tours & Tour Packages — Secure Limited Slots the Smart Way
Palawan’s most popular tours are governed by daily capacity limits, protected-area rules, boat availability, crew assignments, and permit requirements. A slot inquiry is not simply a price request—it is the first step in verifying real-world availability based on your preferred date, group size, and destination.
By submitting a tour or package inquiry, you allow our team to check which routes are open, which schedules are realistic, and whether advance permits or manifests are required. This helps prevent common issues such as last-minute cancellations, rushed itineraries, or discovering too late that a preferred tour is already fully booked.
Whether you are planning island hopping, inland sightseeing, multi-day packages, or a customized itinerary, early coordination gives you clearer expectations and better planning control. Our role is to help you align your plans with actual operating conditions on the ground—before you commit.
