💡 Tips

You must register at the National Museum branch or the municipal tourism office before heading to the Tabon Caves.
Bring a powerful flashlight or headlamp as most of the Tabon Caves have no internal lighting.
ATMs are very limited in town, so withdraw all the cash you need in Puerto Princesa before traveling.
The journey from Puerto Princesa takes about 3-4 hours; start early to maximize your time at the archaeological site.

Quezon is located in the southern part of Palawan island and is a significant site for archaeology and nature lovers. The municipality gained world fame through the discovery of the 'Tabon Man' in the nearby cave complexes, providing deeper insights into the early settlement of Southeast Asia. The landscape is characterized by rugged limestone cliffs and dense jungle areas. A highlight for beachgoers is Snake Island. This distinctive sandbar snakes through the crystal-clear water and has unique opportunities for swimming and photography. At low tide, the white sand path becomes fully visible, connecting various areas of the bay, surrounded by a rich marine ecosystem handy for snorkeling. Tourism in Quezon is still largely pristine and less developed than in northern Palawan. This provides travelers the chance to discover the authentic life of the locals and untouched landscapes. The combination of significant history and natural beauty makes Quezon a fascinating destination for adventurers and history buffs.
