Day 1 in Puerto Prinsesa

Upon touching down the Puerto Prinsesa airport, get yourselves ready for a
vacation of a lifetime. If your plane reaches Puerto Prinsesa in the morning, you
can very well catch the scheduled Puerto Prinsesa City Tour in the afternoon.
See spots like the Crocodile Farm, the Mitra Ranch and the Bay Walk. Also
proceed to Baker’s Hill and Plaza Cuartel. Shop for souvenirs along the way as
you also visit Binuatan Creations. A running tour will feature Palawan’s civic
districts before you head back to your hotel.

Day 2 in Puerto Prinsesa

The second day is dedicated for the Underground River Tour, which is located
approximately 80KM away from Puerto Prinsesa, in a town called Sabang. Make
sure you train your eyes on the various interesting cave formations when inside
the Underground River cave.

Day 3 in Puerto Prinsesa

For those on a short vacation, alas it is your time to leave. Know though that
Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan is always waiting to welcome you back.
Standard check-out time at resors is 1200H (while check-in time is at 1400H).
For those who booked afternoon or evening flights out of Puerto Prinsesa, you
can also take our Honda Bay Tour. Be amazed by the fact even if you do not
know how to snorkel or much less swim, you can see colourful fish up close
because the waters are clear and unpolluted. You can just wade and have the
fish come up to you. An extraordinary experience indeed.
For those with more time to spare and are going home on the 4th day yet, here
are optional tours you can take on your 3rd day:

 Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour

 Dos Palmas Day Tour
 Kamia Bay Day Tour
 Firefly Watching Tour
 Estrella Falls Tour
 City Birding Experience Tour

Astoria

Shuttle Van to El Nido - 500.00

 Eulen Joy: +63 915 829 3735;

 Lexxuss Shuttle: +63 917 686 1118;

Upon arrival in van terminal in El Nido, I suggest taking a tricycle to your hotel.
Tricycle rides should only costs 50 pesos(1 USD), and are good for 3-4
people. If the driver insists on a per head cost, he is ripping you off. So, hop
on to the next one.

Day 1: Arrival in El Nido.

Day 2: Island Hopping Tour.
Day 3: Leave El Nido.
EITHER HONDA BAY AND UNDERGROUND RIVER

OR

GO TO ELNIDO ON AUG 11 -

THEN GO BACK TO PUERTO PRINCESA ON AUGUST 13 (ASTORIA)

AUGUST 14 – NOON BACK TO ILOILO

At 6:30pm we left PPS for El Nido. There were 8 of us in a 14-seater van. It was a 6
hour travel to El Nido so we slept the entire trip. The van fare was 600php per
person. There was 1 stopover at Roxas where you can eat dinner but they do not
offer much. Our dinner total was 120php. We arrived at El Nido at 11:45pm, hailed
a tricycle (50php) to bring us to our 2nd budget accomodation, Tay Miloys Inn
(480php per night). It is just a house with 3 rooms and a common bathroom on the
2nd floor which they offer for tourists. It's a very simple room with 2 beds, electric
fan, and really thin walls between the rooms so you could literally hear every
movement in the next room. It is an OK room if you plan on staying one night since
most of the day you will be out on a tour anyway. Also, electricity in El Nido
runs from 2pm to 6am only so we didn't bother to get an aircon room. In
our case, the electricity ran out around 6am but didn't return at 2pm. There was
still no electricity when we left El Nido at around 6pm. Anyway, that concludes our
first day and Honda Bay Tour in Palawan

underground river it takes 2 hrs to get there, you check in at the pier, wait for a
boat, 30 minutes to the river, view the cave in a small boat for another 30
minutes, !
