Itinerary Breakdown: What You Can Expect

Day 1: Discovering Puerto Princesa’s Cultural and Wildlife Treasures

The first day begins with a roughly four-hour city sightseeing tour. You’ll visit key sites like the Baywalk Park, the Imposing Plaza Cuartel, and Baker’s Hill, which is famous for its fresh baked goods. The tour also includes stops at the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center—a crocodile farm where you’ll see both live crocodiles and endangered species. Expect to learn about conservation efforts here, which adds an educational touch to your trip.

An interesting note from a review: “The first night, they were remodeling for the opening of a new store across the street using power tools until after 11 pm” — so, if you’re a light sleeper, pack earplugs! The overall experience was described as “worth what I paid for it,” showing the good value the tour offers despite basic accommodation.

Day 2: The Wonder of the Underground River

The highlight of Day 2 is the Puerto Princesa Underground River tour, a UNESCO-listed site considered one of the world’s most stunning natural attractions. Expect an 8-hour day with boat transfers that take you into a surreal, underground limestone river system. The experience involves a guided tour through the impressive caves, with formations that are often described as otherworldly.

From a reviewer: “The underground river is a must-see, and the tour was well-organized with the entrance fee included.” This is a full-day activity, so be prepared for a long but rewarding adventure that’s worth every minute if you’re into natural wonders.

Day 3: Island Hopping in Honda Bay

Day 3 is dedicated to Honda Bay, where you’ll spend about 8 hours hopping between islands. You’ll visit Cowrie Island for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing, followed by Starfish Sandbar Resort — perfect for picture-taking, relaxing, and enjoying the sand. The boat transfers are included, and the tour provides ample time to unwind on the beaches or explore the coral reefs.
