SIGNATURE JOURNEY - EXPEDITION AND LUXURY ISLAND

Palawan Luxury Expedition - Coron to Dipnay ( El Nido)

Sail beyond Coron’s well-known circuit on a five-day, fully-inclusive expedition aboard Datu Harana — our purpose-built expedition vessel with just seven private double cabins on board. This route pushes further than any of our other departures: past Coron’s iconic lakes and lagoons, into the untouched West Busuanga island group, along a string of remote reefs, and on to the traditional village of Canopi, before concluding at Dipnay. Every night is spent at anchor under open sky, every meal is taken care of, and the itinerary is built around moments — a private lunch on a floating platform, a beach bonfire, a swim with turtles — you won’t find on a standard island-hopping tour.

SIGNATURE JOURNEY - EXPEDITION AND LUXURY ISLAND

Datu Harana & Ariara Island Expedition 6 Days

Six days away from mass tourism, deep into the islands, lagoons, and hidden coastlines of Northern Palawan. Guests spend three nights aboard Datu Harana, cruising far beyond Coron's well-known circuit, before arriving at Ariara Private Island for two nights of secluded island living. With only seven rooms available across the journey, this is Palawan experienced at its most exclusive — far from the crowds, and closer to the parts of the Calamianes most travelers never reach. The expedition concludes with arrival at Dipnay, and onward to El Nido.

SIGNATURE JOURNEY - EXPEDITION AND LUXURY ISLAND

Datu Harana & Ariara Island Expedition 4 Days

A four-day escape that pairs the thrill of expedition with the stillness of a private island. Guests spend their first night aboard Datu Harana, cruising from Coron Town through the region's iconic lakes and hidden lagoons toward the remote Linapacan island group, home to Ariara Private Island — where two nights of secluded, barefoot luxury await. Accommodation throughout is limited to just seven premium rooms — a maximum of 14 guests per departure — so the experience stays intimate from the moment you board to the moment you leave. The journey concludes with a relaxed final morning at Ariara, a scenic bangka transfer to Dipnay, and an onward van transfer to El Nido.
