Mustala Island
About
Mustala Island serves Palawan as an attraction tucked into Bessie Island, Sofronio Espanola, on the island's southern coast. Visitors who make the trip consistently reward it, with a 4.8 out of 5 average drawn from 6 reviews.
That score places Mustala Island among the better-reviewed stops on Palawan, and the small review sample suggests it remains a quieter alternative to the busier northern routes. Reaching it is easiest from Puerto Princesa, the island's main gateway, though travellers based in El Nido, Coron, Port Barton, San Vicente or Sabang can arrange the journey south by road and boat. Its position at Bessie Island, Sofronio Espanola puts it well away from the standard Underground River and Honda Bay circuits.
Opening hours are not published, so plan around daylight and confirm locally before setting out. No photographs are listed for the venue either.
The habagat southwest monsoon governs the wet season, while the amihan northeast monsoon brings the cooler, drier months that suit outdoor trips. Filipino cooking here leans on fresh seafood, grilled meats and rice, and English is widely understood alongside Filipino and the regional languages. Whale sharks, dugongs and sea turtles inhabit Philippine waters, and the endemic tarsier lives in the forests.
