Your travel and
vacation in Palawan will be unforgettable. For nature lover,
and for those who are looking for real adventure, Puerto Princesa is the best
place to explore.
Set your
itinerary by knowing the places you need to visit during your tour in Palawan.
Usually, for the first day of your trip, it is advisable to start with city
tour. This is the most common and best way to start familiarizing yourself with
the place you are visiting.
First Day: City Tour
City tour in
Puerto Princesa includes visit to Crocodile Farm, Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm,
Mitra’s Ranch and Bakers Hill. This can be arranged and requested to your tour
guide before the dates of your vacation.
During the city
tour, I enjoyed the experience when I visited the Crocodile Farm, at first, I
thought it wouldn’t be fun because I don’t like crocodiles. But after the trip,
I found big crocs and baby crocs cute and interesting.
Another
interesting place to visit is the Mitra’s Ranch. The place resembles Tagaytay
because Mitra’s Ranch is located above the hills and situated in an elevated
area overlooking Honda Bay.
At Mitra’s
Ranch, you’ll also find Bakers Hill where you can buy souvenirs and pasalubong.
Traveller’s tip: don’t miss buying hoping ube from Bakers Hill in Mitra’s
Ranch. It is the best hopia that I tasted. If you’re looking for souvenirs, you
will love to bag a lot of accessories sold at very affordable prices.
Second Day: Underground River Tour or Honda Bay Island Hopping
On your second
day of tour, you can either set a tour at the Underground River or choose
island hopping activities in Honda Bay. If you will ask me, I preferred to do
both. Three days of tour is not enough when you visit Puerto Princesa.
During
my trip, I stayed in Puerto Princesa for four days so I was able to tour for
Underground River and set the Honda Bay island hopping activities the next day.
Third Day: Food Trip at the Town
On your third
day, before leaving, don’t miss the chance of visiting the town to look for
more souvenirs and try the town’s various restaurants for a food trip.
Kinabuch
is one of the famous restaurants in town. There are also other dine-in local
restaurants to try like Bilao at Palayok. Guaranteed, all foods they serve are
delicious and worth your time and money.
Planning your trip is important to make the most out of your vacation. There are a lot of things you can do in Puerto Princesa so make a perfect itinerary to visit all the places during your stay. :)
