Puerto Princesa offers a wonderful blend of natural beauty and adventure. The Underground River is impressive, though it can get crowded. We enjoyed the island hopping very much and found the local handicrafts charming. A great destination for nature lovers.
Absolutely loved our time in Puerto Princesa! El Nido might get the spotlight, but PP is fantastic. The wildlife we saw on a jungle trek was amazing, and the local market was a vibrant place to soak in the culture. The grilled pork belly was a highlight of our culinary journey.
Puerto Princesa exceeded all expectations. The firefly watching tour at night was a surreal experience that photos just can't capture. We also indulged in a 'Cañao' feast, a traditional Ilocano meal, which was a true cultural immersion. Highly recommend this gem of the Philippines.
