Ascent will offer guests the options of taking a 1 hour and 45-minute seaplane flight from Manila, seating up to eight and landing directly in front of Banwa Private Island's house reef.
Alternatively, guests can take a 10-seater helicopter from Manila Ninoy Airport or one of Palawan's three commercial airports: San Vicente, Puerto Princesa or El Nido across the Sulu Sea - to land on Banwa Private Island's heli-lawn.
Ascent also offers both domestic and international arrivals by private jets, be it in Manila or Clark for onward journey with any of their aircraft, or directly to either San Vicente or Puerto Princesa airports. Ascent’s bespoke services include ground handling with meet and greet arrangements, inter-airport transfers, exclusive lounge services and immigration fast-tracking.

Our utmost priority is the genuine care and well-being of our guests from their chartered flight to their holiday experience in our informal and intimate island sanctuary.
