Port Barton has the reputation of being a place of peace and tranquility. Remote and quite difficult to access, it gives the impression of being apart and far from the hustle and bustle of places like El Nido or Coron. Unlike them, Port Barton remains relatively untouched by mass tourism. This makes this small fishing village located in a beautiful bay an ideal place to relax and unwind… The tours and activities you will find there are similar to other tourist destinations in Palawan. First and foremost, there is island hopping, which will take you to beautiful islands, beaches and reefs.

Port Barton vs El Nido — which should I choose?
Port Barton is quieter, cheaper, and less developed — ideal if you want a laid-back beach vibe without the crowds. El Nido has more dramatic scenery (lagoons, karst cliffs), more nightlife, and more tour variety. Many travelers visit both: Port Barton for relaxation, El Nido for adventure.
