We Will Fly Again Soon: Where do I Plan to Travel after this Pandemic?

Best travel destinations in the Philippines after COVID-19 Pandemic

One of the best travel experiences that I’ve had were my travels to Palawan. It captured my heart and left me in awe as I saw a glimpse of what heaven would look like if it was here on earth. Vividly colored with so many memories and different hues, it is definitely another place to go back to once this pandemic is over. I’m currently planning out adventure trips in the near future, hopefully by end of the year or by early next year.

I’m planning an ultimate Palawan adventure, to discover more islands and places I haven’t been to and go back to the places I visited in the past to relive and recreate wonderful memories.

Palawan is known to be the “last frontier of the Philippines,” and home of the Puerto Princesa Underground River which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites here in the Philippines. It’s a paradise waiting to be discovered and should always be kept protected so that it may preserve its wonderful views, and that our children in the future might be able to witness its beauty - and even more.

Here are the places in Palawan I want to visit or re-visit on my future travels.

El Nido, Palawan


El Nido features the most scenic views of lagoons, beaches and islands that are distinct and unusual. That’s why tourists around the world flock together to visit this wonderful place. It’s best to enjoy El Nido by island hopping and underwater snorkeling to appreciate the rich and live marine life beyond the its pristine waters.

You can visit Shimizu Island where amazing rock formations can be found while exhibiting the world’s best views! A mirror to the clear sky, its waters are found to be mostly in the shade of blue because it reflects the color of the sky. You can even see fishes swimming around without any apparatus.

There’s also what they call Big lagoon and Small lagoon where most of the picturesque views from IG and FB are captured. Perfect for rafting and boating, the lagoons are what many call as “paradise.”

You can also visit the Snake Island, but don’t worry because it is named after its snake-like shape. It’s perfectly safe to visit. You can just walk around the area because of the low levels of water or if you’re up for more adventures, you can take a short hike up the hills of the island and witness a 360-view of the area.

For underwater adventurers or those who seek thrill diving underwater to witness marvelous views and even get to see shipwrecks from the 1940s of Japanese ships, you can head over to Coron. You can take a kayak tour around the mangroves or engage in a beach volleyball match with other tourists. This island is one of the most visited in Palawan so expect more tourists in the area and more physical activities involved. But of course, there will still be island adventures that will further quench your thirst for an ultimate outdoor experience.

I’m planning as early as now because I’m excited for what this year may bring to me and my dreams of traveling. Also, it’s the best time to book flights since many airlines released promos for travel around the Philippines and around the world as early as December until next year. You can still save up for your future travels and guarantee that your stay will be the best experience you could ever have.

Make sure to travel light and support locals by patronizing homestays and availing the services of the local tour guides. You can do budget travels and get to know the rich history and culture each place holds as you unravel more and more when you visit their attractions. Be a mindful traveler and a responsible one! This is also the best time promote our own country and promote our local business owners! Plan your travel wisely and save up until there’s so much time.

I know many of us are still unsure when traveling will be back to normal. I am also anxious but I am happy to know that airlines such as Cebu Pacific Air are implementing many safety measures to assure us of our safety before and during the flight.

  1. Once the restrictions have been lifted, I will definitely go back to El Nido, Palawan. I was there in December 2019 and I agree with you, it has the most scenic view of beaches, islets and islands...
    Thank you for being so positive, Mervz. We will all travel again, soon.
