Foot on the Loose

Of course we did not cover the entire area  for it was said to be the longest navigable underground river in the world. But, for those who are planning to visit with a DIY itinerary, like we did, I suggest you plan it ahead prior to your tour. Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour can be done in just 5-6 hours. Ours took only 5 hours but we made it a whole day event so we could still chill at the end of the day. Here’s to share you our experience:

After our remarkable experience in El Nido, we came back to Puerto Princesa and, like the many turistas, bought the idea of roaming around the City.

City tour lets you visit some of the most famous places in Puerto Princesa, Palawan like the Baywalk, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Plaza Cuartel, Crocodile Farm, Mitra’s Ranch, Baker’s Hill and more.

Day is done, gone the sun. Firefly watching at Iwahig River is first on our plan. Yay!

After the exciting ride with Cebu Pacific Air, we went straight to our lodging at Bahay ni Lolo Manit, which is just a 5-minute ride from the Puerto Princesa International Airport. It’s one complicated lodging to find (even online), ‘coz even the locals can’t recognize where it is but once you get in, you’ll forget you’re in a foreign land. It feels so home, even better. But, as much as we wanted to lay our dizzy heads in our comfortable pillows, can not be since we got an appointment with the Fireflies at the Iwahig River. So, we settled the payment, dropped our backpacks and hopped in our service van.
