PALAWAN
Tao Expedition • Philippines

Coron to El Nido: With no plan or set route, embark on a 5 day expedition with a bunch of local islanders. Snorkel coral reefs and enjoy fresh sashimi on the boat. Set up camp in rustic bamboo huts in the jungle. Disconnect to reconnect: The original Palawan expedition.

El Nido

Raw, real and as remote as it gets: only for the adventurous, slow-paced, and persistent to explore off the beaten paths kind of traveler.

Tao Philippines

Tao is a “word of mouth” treasure map circulated to travelers looking for escape and disconnection.

Bamboo architecture

Jack, a 19 year old runaway architecture student became the creative eye of Tao and developed its signature bamboo huts.

Personal TAO highlights

The rich corals and marine life and passing by the most incredible landscapes.

The airy and stylish bamboo huts in each camp: simple, architectural masterpieces in the jungle or on the beach.

The culinary experience: freshly caught fish while on the boat, fantastic dinners on the beach each night plus a 7-course-dinner at the Tao farm.

The friendliness and adventurous spirit of everyone involved - both the “lost boys” (aka the crew) and the other travellers.

Simply the chance to discover a part of the world that isn’t accessible otherwise.
