Linapacan Island  is a municipality in the province of Palawan, Philippines, with a fifth-class income classification.  According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 14,180 people. Linapacan is located south of Coron & Busuanga Islands, north of Palawan main (island), El Nido to be precise. Though fifth-class in income classification, the island municipality boasts to have the clearest water in the world that you may swim in, snorkel or to ride a boat.

Linapacan municipality is comprised of the islands of Linapacan, Cabunlaoan, Niangalao, Decabayotot, Calibanbangan, Pical, and Barangonan, once part of Coron. To reach Linapacan, you may rent a boat from Coron for about 4 hours boatride or from El Nido for about 5 hours.

Linapacan is indeed a hidden gem within the so called “Outback” of the Philippines (PALAWAN), we certainly want to go there and hopefully you may join us on that awesome adventure!
