The movement inside the islands of Palawan has to be packed effectively as the weather and conditions can change rapidly. Fabric can be light and dry, and laundry is not complicated due to such quality, and waterproof gear will keep electronics and other valuable items safe during boat rides. A power bank and a dry bag are saviors in case of a long trip, where your devices would be safe and charged. Cash is still the king in the majority of places; therefore, the Philippine Pesos in their pockets will save the day. Finally, sustainable traveling would involve carrying reusable bottles and reef-safe sunscreen due to their consistency with preserving the clean environment of Palawan.
Do not wear bulky clothes, lavish accessories, and gadgets that one does not need. Slim, utilitarian clothes are the best for traveling around the island.
Not everywhere- ATMs are not provided in small towns. Carry enough money to do tours and buy food.
Yes, as most of the tours have wading and boating, such accessories as bags and phone cases are indispensable.
Take one pair of water shoes and the other pair of walking shoes, which can help when one wants to go hiking or visit the town.
