The morning air tastes of salt and red dust as riders line up at the Lakwa motorcycles garage, engines murmuring beneath MX helmets. You pull away from El Nido town and the road unspools along Bacuit Bay—cliffs rising like silent, ancient guards—and within minutes the hum of civilization gives way to trail, riverbed, and beach.

The morning air tastes of salt and red dust as riders line up at the Lakwa motorcycles garage, engines murmuring beneath MX helmets. You pull away from El Nido town and the road unspools along Bacuit Bay—cliffs rising like silent, ancient guards—and within minutes the hum of civilization gives way to trail, riverbed, and beach.
This North Loop traces Palawan’s layered history: limestone platforms carved by sea and time, remote fishing villages that still work by hand, and rice terraces tucked into shallow valleys. Geology here is blunt and visible—solids of karst limestone, fast-draining volcanic soils and river channels that rearrange themselves each monsoon. Culturally, expect small coastal communities where a wave and a smile are the currency of welcome.
You’ll tackle single-track through tropical scrub, rocky switchbacks, a shallow river crossing that dares you to pick a line, and cliffside viewpoints with 360-degree vistas. Stops include Danat single-track, Dewil Valley views, Ille Cave, Villa Paz riverbed and quiet Palawan east-coast beaches—each offering a distinct surface and set of sightlines.
Practical edge: this is an intermediate ride for experienced off-road riders comfortable with mid-weight dirt bikes (CRF150L; CRF300L upgrade available). Bring hydration, layered protection against sun and spray, and expect 5–6 hours in variable conditions. Guides supply helmets, pads, and lunch; phone signal will drop on inland stretches. Pace yourself, scan lines on river crossings, and leave time to cool down at Lio beach—this loop rewards attention and leaves you closer to the land you cross.
Yes—this intermediate tour expects riders comfortable with single-track, uneven terrain, and basic trail navigation.
Yes; MX helmets, knee and elbow pads, riding boots, goggles and gloves are included, though you may bring your own gear.
