You've come to the right place, they said. After 36 hours of travel, we awoke to the brilliant yellows of sunrise reaching over, what seemed to be, infinite waters. We threw on our bathing suits, lathered on the sun lotion, and jumped on a boat set for the islands off of Palawan.

From what I gathered from past tropical destinations, I half-expected these islands to be bustling with tourists. Dropping anchor here was a stunning surprise, setting our sights on the surroundings with not another person in sight. We scrambled for the snorkel gear, and dove into the blue to witness the vibrant coral and sea life. Day one on our adventure, and already one I won't forget.
