Glamping 🏝 Experiences

More Than a Place to Stay

Kamp Tapik was built for travelers seeking a quieter, more authentic side of Palawan—where island life, local culture, and adventure still take center stage.

Our Story

Kamp Tapik was one of the pioneers of tourism in Sibaltan. We began building our first huts in 2011 and officially welcomed guests in 2012, long before Sibaltan became known to travelers exploring El Nido and eastern Palawan. Originally operating under the name Tapik Beach Park, we started with a simple vision: to share the beauty of Sibaltan with travelers seeking a more authentic side of Palawan. Back then, the journey was far from easy. Public transportation was limited, infrastructure was minimal, and very few people had even heard of Sibaltan. There was little information available online, and the area remained a hidden corner of Palawan known mostly to local fishing communities. Over the years, we have watched Sibaltan grow while remaining true to the values that inspired us from the beginning: simplicity, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature and local culture. Many of the island-hopping routes and tourism activities that are now popular in Sibaltan and Linapacan were still largely unknown when we first opened our doors. Like many small tourism businesses, we faced one of our greatest challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel came to a standstill, and we were forced to rebuild and start again. Through perseverance, the support of our guests, and our love for this place, Kamp Tapik continued its journey. Today, Kamp Tapik remains a simple beachfront retreat where nature, community, and authentic experiences come together. Through our rustic cabins, camping accommodations, and laid-back atmosphere, we invite you to slow down, disconnect from the ordinary, and experience the authentic charm of coastal Palawan.

Travel Slower. Experience More.

We believe the best travel experiences aren't measured by how many places you visit, but by how deeply you connect with them.
