As I said above, you can also go to Palawan by Boat from Manila or Iloilo city.SuperFerry and Negros Navigation companies are to be checked for this.It takes 24 hours from Manila and 36 Hours from Iloilo city.If would like more experience, that’d be a nice one actually and this way will be much cheaper than by air.

Where to stay in Palawan?

You have real wide choices of price and type as it is always this way in Philippines.That’s the good thing actually.From five star hotels to simple accomodations; from beachfront villas to motels .The price range starts from 25-30 dollars and goes up 500-600 dollars per night.For out season times, the prices are quite cheaper than that.And if you go by a tour package you can get a very nice hotel with a really cheap price.

There are also so nice resorts which offers you places to stay above the water.I will now share some photos of those (also see the first photo in the page) rather than trying to explain what kind of things they are.But It’s really a very nice experience if you are able to afford it.And they are not really too expensive as they sound.You could maybe find one which you can afford.I’d try at least to experience it.

(Dos Palmas Resort, Palawan)

Some well known “where to stay” places can be listed like this: Club Noah Isabelle in Taytay, Lagen and Miniloc Resorts of Ten Knots Development Corporation in El Nido, Club Paradise in Busuanga, and Amanpulo in Pamalican Island in Cuyo, Asiaworld Hotel located in Puerto Princesa City, Hilside Resort and Puerto Pension.There are modest and luxury places on the list together, so check which one you can afford.I am not claiming the cheapest and the most expensive ones are those.You could find more expensive ones and also cheapers.I am just giving some ideas to you my friends…

What do to in Palawan?  Where to visit in Palawan?

Ohh ! That’s really not easy to tell with words about what to do in Palawan or Where to visit.Like I said before, this place is unlike any others in the world.You can just go and see African animals (from Kenya) such as giraffes, elands, zebras, gazelles to feel like you are in safari; or you can go to Tabon Caves which is “The Craddile of the Philippine Civilisation” and claimed to date back to 22,000 years and feel yourself in deep ancient times, this place is also known as the first habitation site of  Southeastern Asia; or just by going to El Nido beaches, you could feel the nature deep in yourself; then by going to underground river in Puerto Princesa you could jump into mystery and adventure; You can rent a plane tour by paying about 8,000 pesos (around 165 dollars) and watch the fabulous view of the island from the sky;You can visit over 100 years of Lighthouses (Melville Lighthouse) or forts built by the Spanish; or go for an island hopping which is quite popular in Palawan as it is surrounded with hundreds of them.

El Nido…

It’s now amongst the premier tourist destination of the country.With its wonderful white sand beaches, limestone cliffs, rainforests, countless varieties of fish and marine livings, El Nido is a multi faceted destination for tourists.The great nature of El Nido will amaze you.You’ll find another amazing scienic view when you turn the some other side.You also have chance to see the amazing beauty of underwater by diving.Divers could see a very marine mamal “sea cow” which is called “dugong” by locals.

Honda Bay…

Honda Bay consists of several islets and excellent beaches which are popular for swimming, snorkling, diving by locals and tourists.And the nice islets with their gorgeous views are called strange names such as Starfish Island, Snake Island, Pandan Island and a few more.It’s now amongst popular destinations in Palawan.

(Entrance to The Underground River in Palawan)

Puerto Princesa Subterranean River (or simply Underground River)…

This natural place has 8,2 km navigable river which is also accepted as the longest one in the world.But tourists are not allowed to navigate this whole 8,2 km.With a special permission you can go a little further but normally tourists are allowed to see only about 1,2 km of it.It’s absolutely an amazing experience and a real adventure.

Tabon Caves…

This place is located 155 km south of Puerto Princesa City (the capital of Palawan province).3-4 hours by bus to Quezon city and 20-30 minutes by boat.As i mentioned above, this place is  ”The Cradile of Philipines Civilisation”.Anthropologists found the remains of crude man and his tools which date back to 22,000 years which refers very long time ago.That’s a “must see” place the fans of history, anthrolopgy, ancient times etc.Wake up friends; 22,000 years is not a short time for human history.People from all over the world visit this place just to see it or for some researches.
