[2025 Puerto Princesa Attraction] Travel Guide for Puerto Princesa (Updated Mar)

#100 Ways to Travel There are 4 options for the classic itinerary in El Nido🧜🏼♀️ 1. Tour A-The most classic Big Lagoon and Small Lagoon 2. Tour B-Snake Island with its unique island 3. Tour C-Helicopter Island with beautiful sea views, and a snorkeling paradise 4. Tour D-Rich underwater landscapes, a good choice for deep diving Each route has unique landscapes. This time, let’s start with the most classic and representative Tour A! ✅The two sides of the Grand Lagoon are covered with towering limestone cliffs. The light and shadows cast by the sun, combined with the clear and transparent sea water, are not only breathtaking, but also super film-killing📷 When the Grand Lagoon is high tide, boats can enter it for tourists to take pictures; but when the tide is low, the boats have to stop outside the lagoon and rent canoes to paddle into the Grand Lagoon. By the way! To come to the Big Lagoon, you need to pay an additional 200p environmental protection fee~ ✅The small lagoon is about a 5-minute boat ride away from the Big Lagoon. Because it is surrounded by limestone mountains, the entrance is too small for small boats to enter. You must rent a canoe to enter the lagoon area. Entering the small lagoon, the super beautiful blue-green lake is like emerald, as if you have come to a fairyland on earth, every scene is like a painting, incredibly beautiful, no wonder it is called the Little Maldives💕 Rent a canoe, if you don’t know how to row or are alone, don’t worry, the crew can be the canoe driver, not only do not need to add money, the crew will also help take pictures, super nice! ✅Finally, we arrived at the Seven Heroes Beach, where there are many coconut trees and a very southern atmosphere. There are not only small vendors, but also hammocks, beach volleyball, tree swings or lying on the beach to enjoy the sun and spend a very chill day. 🛶 Crab boats are almost always docked near the coast, and you need to wade a short distance before you can board the boat. It is recommended to wear clothes that are suitable for playing in the water! I am 161cm tall, and the sea water almost flooded my chest when wading, which I think is quite deep~ The beautiful wonderland that cannot be missed among the many islands in the Philippines is El Nido, Palawan, but to reach this unpolluted beauty, it takes some twists and turns in transportation😅 This time, I flew directly from Taiwan to Puerto Princesa, and I had to take another 5 hours of driving all the way to reach the beautiful wonderland El Nido. It was a bit tiring, but it was all worth it😆 #palawan #elnido #Philippines #El Nido #Palawan #El Nido Secret

The beauty of El Nido will make you fall deeply in love after just one visit.🤩 But the journey to El Nido is also memorable due to the long travel.🚗 This is the reason why El Nido retains such a secret beauty.🌅 【🛫How to get to El Nido】 Domestic—Manila/Cebu—Puerto Princesa (Airport Code PPS) Then take a car from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. 【💵What is the local currency】 Peso It is recommended to bring a UnionPay card to withdraw money at Manila Airport or on the island. The exchange rate is better. 【🦐Is the local food delicious】 Some things are not very accustomed to, such as very sour soups. But there are still many delicious things! I love Pork Sisig. There are also Western, Thai, and Spanish cuisines on the island. If all else fails, there's always McDonald's. So don't worry too much about not getting used to the food~ 【🇵🇭What about the security concerns】 It seems that the security in the Philippines is not very good in everyone's impression. But the atmosphere of El Nido is a happy pure land. The islanders are simple and enthusiastic. Here you will forget all your worries. 【🧳6 days 5 nights itinerary】 DAY 1 Puerto Princesa pick-up—Check-in hotel Hotel: Hue Hotels and Resorts Puerto Princesa DAY 2 Puerto Princesa—Fort San Isidro—Taraw Cliff—Bay Sunset Hotel: El Nido Garden Resort DAY 3 El Nido Island Hopping Tour A (Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Snorkeling, Lunch included) Hotel: El Nido Garden Resort DAY 4 El Nido Island Hopping Tour C (Helicopter Island, Secret Beach, Snorkeling, Lunch included) Hotel: El Nido Garden Resort DAY 5 El Nido Free Activity (Recommended Scuba Diving or Zipline)—Puerto Princesa Hotel: Hue Hotels and Resorts Puerto Princesa DAY 6 Puerto Princesa Free Activity—Puerto Princesa Airport drop-off for return flight @Community Welfare Jun @Ctrip Community Creation Center

I highly recommend the following TWO restaurants to eat at when you are planning a trip to Puerto Princesa. 1. Badjao Seafront Restaurant - Great ocean view, beautiful entrance, delicious food and reasonably priced. Try the raw fish "cooked" in vinegar appetizer. 2. Kajoels Restaurant - To enter the restaurant, you will be required to take off your shoes as to not damage the wooden floors. It is romantic, has great ambiance, and good island feels.

Getting There - by flight from Puerto Princesa, then get a van. Attractions - a lot of tours and diving! Hotels - for all your tastes and budgets Food & Restaurants - so many and international…. lack of Local food. you have local one like street food formula

on our way to Palawan Puerto Princessa island on a flight with many beautiful views!  One of the clearest waters we have ever seen! let the fun begin.

Puerto Princesa is the biggest city in Palawan. It is also where you can fly into to get to El Nido. The town itself isn’t too big. It’s a good size for you to go around by yourself with a motorbike. There is the Plaza Cuartel, which is a historical site where American soldiers were burned to death by the Japanese. There is no entrance fee. Right next to this place is the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. It is beautiful from the outside but I didn’t get to go in because I didn’t want to disturb the mass they were having. I am also not really sure if you can enter and look around when there is no service going on. These two places are usually part of the city tour package if you book one, but honestly, you can visit these yourself easily. #celebratewithtrip #urbanexplorer #puertoprincesa #philippines #historicculture

Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan province in the Philippines. The island's main airport is here and it's a convenient hub for visiting other places in Palawan like El Nido and the underground river. But Puerto Princesa is a destination in its own right, with diverse attractions. Getting There - Flights from Manila and elsewhere arrive at Puerto Princesa Airport, which is unusually close to the city centre. It's actually possible to walk into town from there, though a rickshaw or taxi is not expensive. Attractions - Puerto Princesa is famous for its beautiful, imposing cathedral. There are also several nice beaches. Hotels - This is a major tourist area and there are many hotels and guesthouses. Food & Restaurants - A range of food is available, particularly along the main street through town and in Chinatown. Its also home to Palawan's first microbrewery, which has a wonderful outdoor bar. Definitely spend an evening chilling there. Money - There are few places to exchange money except for American dollars, and bank machines don't accept all types of cards. Pawn shops may exchange other currencies but the rate is very unfavourable. If you have currency other than USD it's a good idea to change it at Manila Airport. The rate is better than anywhere on Palawan. Although you'll probably come to Palawan for other places, especially El Nido, it's worth spending a few days at the beginning or end of your trip in Puerto Princesa. #leaveyourmark #lightthecity #urbanexplorer #philippines #palawan #beach #cathedral #foodieheaven #tropical

went to Puerto Princesa in December! and went to underground river at my first time!! it was overwhelming view and they gave us small telephone which introduces about history of there and how to be created by... etc. Fortunately they had Japanese so I could understand all correctly!! hahah They have some languages, so you must ask your language you can understand! It takes a few minutes to explore in a cave and the guide explained us randomly and it was funny sometimes ahaha I booked it with accommodation and I stayed at hotel for two nights and they had some activities. I totally paid about $80-82. Also the van picked us up to the hotel I stayed and lunch included also! super fun and amazing experiences I have had!!

Philippines Three Colors Travel Guide👍 The Philippines' "Three Colors" - white sandy beaches, blue seas, and green jungles - are distinctive tourist highlights🥰. ✅ Boracay White Beach: Boracay's White Beach is famous for its powdery white sand. It's best to visit in the morning when the sunlight🌅 is gentle. You can stroll along the beach and feel the fine sand flowing between your toes. Enjoy seafood at a seaside restaurant at noon, try water activities like snorkeling and sailing⛵️ in the afternoon, and watch the stunning sunset at a beach bar in the evening. ✅ Palawan Blue Sea: Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan, where you can take a boat tour of the underground river and explore mysterious caves. El Nido offers various diving spots with high water visibility, where you can see colorful corals🪸 and tropical fish. Choose a reputable diving agency and follow a coach to explore the underwater world. ✅ Bohol Green Jungle: Here you can find the Chocolate Hills, which turn brown during the dry season, resembling chocolate. You can hike or drive🚗 through them. You can also visit the Loboc River, where you can take a bamboo raft downstream, surrounded by dense jungle, and enjoy a special lunch along the way, experiencing the unique rainforest scenery.

#familytrips2024 Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines

This is a mysterious sea area, with stunning seascapes, delicate beaches, and a journey that feels like an adventure. This is Palawan's El Nido and Coron. Due to the complex journey, not many tourists make it here, which is why it retains a sense of pristine beauty. El Nido is mainly known for its seascapes paired with otherworldly mountainous islands, with many famous spots to check in, and lagoons hidden among the sea and mountains that are both mysterious and beautiful. Coron, apart from having similar seascapes to El Nido, also has some small islands with delicate beaches, the fineness of which can rival the Maldives, and the underwater world of Coron is truly exceptional, with snorkeling views that are among the best in Southeast Asia. Itinerary: Departing from within the country, one usually first travels to Manila, then from Manila flies to Puerto Princesa, from Puerto Princesa takes a car to El Nido, after visiting El Nido takes a boat to Coron, and finally flies back to Manila from Coron. However, if you are short on time and don't want the hassle, you can just visit Coron, with direct flights from Manila to Coron.

it was a nice view and good to relax away from the busy city schedule..

One of the best hotels in the city of puerto princesa. The staffs are all good and the service as well. Surely, i will be back again.
