Darocotan Island is a quiet, undeveloped island off the coast of El Nido, ideal for travellers looking to disconnect and experience Palawan’s raw beauty. With white sand beaches, calm turquoise waters, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s perfect for a low-key island escape. Just offshore lies a shallow shipwreck surrounded by thriving coral reefs easily accessible for snorkelling even at high tide. Sea turtles, rays, and colourful reef fish are often spotted here. Visitors can kayak or paddleboard around the coast, relax in hammocks, or explore the island on foot.
