Unique expeditions for 2009...

Palawan Island Explorer, Philippines

This year we have no schedule departures for our Palawan Island Explorer, however we are able to offer  a bespoke itinerary to individuals or groups looking for a tailor made holiday. 

Known as the last frontier, these unique islands in the Philippine archipelago are a treasure trove of natural wonders . Pristine primary rainforest, deserted tropical islands and underground rivers, unsurpassed coral reefs and abundant marine life thrive in its crystal clear waters.

Pioneer Expeditions is delighted to offer what promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience on the Philippine island of Palawan. This tour is the first of its kind ever offered by an adventure, expedition or tour company and will provide an in-depth exploration into an unimaginably vibrant, colourful and addictive island.
