ISLAND HOPPING – most of El Nido's tours are
island hopping. If you find these beaches wonderful
enough, they actually still have a lot of most visited
paradises which are applicable to the other tour types.
This is the 7 COMMANDO BEACH - El Nido
Palawan, Philippines. It is named after the commandos
who lived in the Island way back then. It is only one of
CAVING – aside from El Nido's
crystal clear water, also what makes
it stunning is that its huge natural
rock formations. El Nido will never
PALAWAN WIILDLIFE RESCUE AND
CONVERSATION CENTER– is also known as
the Crocodile Nature Park. It takes about 30
minutes from the City proper. It's been part of
the City tour the tricycle driver has offered. You
KAYAKING AT THE LAGOON – the water just
makes us thirsty every time. The place has freed
my anxiousness and lightens every shadows the
sun makes. You can swim and snorkel in this
azure blue water all day long but be sure to
protect your skin with sun screen. The kayak
SNORKELING – this is the activity that everyone
shouldn't miss in El Nido! We are very amazed how
El Nido maintains the not just the islands' natural
beauty but also the marine wildlife underneath. The
government is very strict on implementing rules and
regulations protecting its natural resources. This is
the best thing we have ever seen in our life, we feel
BAKER'S HILL – Baker's hill is just a tricycle
away from the city proper. If your are not grabbing
the city tour which costs roughly 500-600 (almost
$10.00) pesos whole day you can just commute
going there for only 60 pesos ( $1.17 ). The place is
truly a wonderland. You may wanna bring your
younger brothers, sisters and nephews for they
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is
a protected area of the Philippines located about 80 kilometres
(50 mi) north of the city centre of Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
The river is also called 'Puerto Princesa Underground River'.
The national park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range
on the western coast of the island. It is bordered by St. Paul
Bay to the north and the Babuyan River to the east. The City
Government of Puerto Princesa has managed the National
Park since 1992. The entrance to the subterranean river is a
short hike or boat ride from the town Sabang.
CHICKEN INATO – is a delicious grilled chicken dish.
The chicken is marinated in a unique blend of spices
and herbs, then grilled until done. Several restaurants
in Palawan island serve this special grilled chicken dish
and they are all very good. We suggest trying it
at Haim Chicken Inato Restaurant in Manalo
Extension.

DANGGIT LAMAYO – if you are going to Coron,

make sure to try the popular dish danggit lamayo. It
consists in sun-dried Rabbitfishes marinated in
vinegar, garlic, and pepper. Danggit Lamayo
is served for breakfast in most of the hotels and
guesthouses.
HALO-HALO – literally translated, it means “Mix-Mix” in
Filipino. Halo Halo is a popular refreshing drink which
consists of a mixture of sweetened preserved fruits,
evaporated milk and crushed ice. The topping is either ice
cream or leche flan.The best place to try Halo Halo in
Puerto Princesa is Noki Nocs Savory House on Rizal
Avenue.

FRESH SEAFOODS – palawan seafood is a wonderful product.

There is a large variety of fresh and tasty seafood which is easily
accessible and affordable. KaLui is the best seafood restaurant
in Puerto Princesa. They offer a wide variety of dishes which
depends on the fresh catch of the day. The menu includes Tuna,
Shrimps, Blue Marlin, Crab, Lobster, Seabass and squids.
TAMILOK – sampling exotic food in Palawan
will most definitely broaden your culinary
horizon and expand the way you think about
food. One of the most popular dishes is the
Tamilok. Tamilok known as woodworm, it’s
actually a mollusk harvested from mangrove
trees. It has a very long, soft and flabby body
which tastes like an oyster. Many restaurants in
Puerto Princesa serve Tamilok, though the most
famous is the Kinabuch Grill & Bar on Rizal
Avenue.
CROCODILE SISIG – another exotic dish you
can try in Palawan is Crocodile Sisig, a
variation of the sizzling dish that typically uses
pork. The taste of crocodile meat is similar to
chicken, mild flavoured and firm in texture. It’s
a healthy meat due to its high protein and low-
fat composition. Some of the Filipino dishes
that can be made from crocodile meat are sisig,
Bicol express, sausages, and tapa. Sisig, which
means “to snack on something sour” it refers to
a method of preparing fish and meat marinated
in a sour liquid such as calamansi juice or
vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper, and
other spices. You can try Crocodile Sisig at the
Ka Inato Restaurant on Rizal Avenue.
