Liveaboard TripsPalawan is one of the Philippines' best known boating regions for divers, with Coron wreck dives, reef sites around Busuanga and island routes that combine clear water with remote anchorages. This category starts with diving trips and liveaboard style voyages, so travellers can understand how multi day time on the water works before comparing bookable departures.
It also gathers premium voyages, yacht stays and special occasion cruises in the same boating world. Some listings focus on diving, others on scenery, food, privacy or rest. Use the live grid on Tidetribe to compare voyages from local hosts, then check each listing for inclusions, group size, pickup details, cabin arrangements and whether fees are already covered.
Coron is famous for Japanese WWII shipwrecks that divers visit, while reefs around Busuanga and the wider Calamian Islands add coral, fish life and sheltered coves. In other parts of Palawan, boating routes can pair diving or snorkelling with beaches, limestone scenery and overnight stops.
A liveaboard usually means you sleep on the boat and move between sites over one or more nights instead of returning to shore after each dive. Some departures are dive focused, while others mix cruising, snorkelling and time ashore. Certification and equipment rules depend on the listing.
Dry season is roughly November to May, when sea conditions are often calmer for diving trips and yacht voyages. The southwest monsoon, or habagat, is roughly June to October, and captains may adjust routes or cancel sailings when conditions are unsafe. Longer expeditions can have narrower seasonal windows.
Besides diving trips, this category also collects premium voyages such as yacht cruises, dining sailings and overnight boat stays. Some can include swimming, snorkelling or even diving if the listing says so. Environmental and entrance fees are usually separate unless the listing states otherwise.
Most scuba diving trips in Palawan expect certified divers, especially for liveaboards and wreck routes around Coron. Some operators may offer introductory experiences or accept mixed groups, but that depends on the listing. Divers should stay within their certification level and follow the guide at all times.
A liveaboard trip in Palawan is a voyage where guests sleep on the boat and visit several sites over multiple days. It can be focused on scuba diving, or combine diving with cruising and snorkelling. The listing page usually shows cabin setup, meal arrangements, equipment notes and pickup details.
Many travellers aim for the roughly drier months from November to May, when conditions are often more reliable for boat trips. Weather can still change, and the southwest monsoon from roughly June to October can affect visibility, routing and departures. Boats do not sail when conditions are considered unsafe.
Prices vary with the boat, group size, trip length, season and what is included. Environmental and entrance fees are usually separate unless the listing says otherwise. The listings on this page show inclusions, group size and pickup details, so travellers can compare the basics before booking.
