6D5N Puerto Princesa-El Nido Sample Itinerary
This is based on my own trip itinerary (IT). From Manila (MNL), I flew to Puerto Princesa City (PPS). This is a very detailed IT as I already included necessary info and instructions.
Part I: Puerto Princesa
Day 1

City Tour

-Palawan Crocodile Farm
-Rancho Sta. Monica
1200nn – Lunch

400pm – Back to Inn
*You may hire a tric for a City Tour for PHP 400-500.
** Hotels/Inns normally offers tours as well. City Tour's fixed rate is PHP 600. This is a joining group tour so you don't have control over your time duration in each attractions.
Day 2
Underground River Tour + Ugong Rock
800am – Tour starts
500pm – End of tour
500pm – Back to City proper
800pm – Dinner
Another option is Honda Bay Island Hopping.
*Like the City Tour, hotels/inns normally offer these tours.
800am – Tour starts
500pm – End of tour
500pm – Back to City proper
800pm – Dinner
Another option is Honda Bay Island Hopping.
**Underground River Tour's fixed rate is PHP 1500. Honda Bay Tour's fixed rate is PHP 1400.
***If you're a solo or a couple traveler, it's better and more practical to join the group tours. But if you are a large group, it's much cheaper if you will just rent your own transportation for the tours. You may contact Kuya Roy (see his number below) if you need one. :)

El Nido:
I am not recommending the place we stayed at in El Nido. Simply because their customer service sucks. The name is Og's Pension House.

I know how fun it was. Palawan is indeed one of the most beautiful place here in Philippines that we must be proud of.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I'm always at awe with Palawan and I'm coming back for more. I have yet to check out Port Barton and San Vicente. I also hope to travel in Southern Palawan in the future. :)
