Climbing the Taraw Cliff is one of the adventures that I would love to do in El Nido. But since this activity is not recommended for a newbie mountain climber like me and I had no proper hand gloves and rubber shoes during our stay in El Nido, I just decided to skip this tour. I know there’s a saying “You Only Live Once” or #YOLO, but safety is still my priority whenever I want to try some new adventures. (Next time, I’ll try this, practice muna ako 🙂).

So what I’ll be sharing now are the awesome photos of Fidel Pacia Jr. who has climbed Taraw Cliff several times. He’s a well-known licensed tour guide in Palawan and also a famous traveler in the Philippines. His travel photos were featured in WhenInManila, Rappler, and other travel sites.

How to Climb the Taraw Cliff: Tips from Fidel Pacia Jr.

  • It’s required to hire a licensed tour guide when you want to climb the Taraw Cliff.  (Php 500 for 2pax)
  • Start this activity at 5:00am or 5:30am if you have an island hopping tour scheduled at 9:30am. Allot 3-4 hours for climbing, rest stops, and photo ops.
  • Wear proper hand gloves and shoes for your safety.
  • Wear long sleeves to avoid being exposed directly from the heat of the sun.
  • Don’t forget to bring a bottled water to keep you hydrated
  • It’s not advisable to climb the Taraw Cliff if it rained hard the day before your trek, if it’s raining during your trek or there’s a possibility that it will rain. The limestone rocks get very slippery when wet.
  • Be very careful when taking a step to avoid having injuries.
  • Try Canopy Walk instead if you want an easier and safer way to get a good view of El Nido (Php 400 per pax). You can try this activity even if it’s raining. Tour starts at 8:00am.
