You won't have seen Puerto Princesa if you haven't experienced Island Hopping here. This place is gorgeously spotted with a sky that was like curtain of silk. From city and island tours, to the amusing firefly watching at Iwahig, this place is more than just another beautiful island of the Philippines. It is brimming with countless natural wonders, topped with good food, outstanding cleanliness, and friendly, disciplined people. The best part, the tourism industry here is so organized that exploring is never a problem even if it’s your first time to set foot on this unique paradise.

You will experience the place if you will try all the activities.

FIREFLY WATCHING

I don't have my own picture because it is hard to take a picture there using your phone. But the place is stunning where you can see a lot of firefly twinkling around the trees. The tour guides are awesome and funny also because while touring around they are making jokes and in fairness they are familiar and knowledgeable on what they are doing, they even know the constellation and their names.

STARFISH ISLAND

Starfish Island has the greatest population of Starfish in all Island in Palawan, as evident in its name. Well-formed five-armed orange Star Fish are the most abundant type in the area but you may be lucky to spot other varieties.

..... and many other islands like Cowrie Island and Pandan Island

PALAWAN FAMOUS TAMILOK

Tamilok is sold in a lot of places in Palawan, especially those near the rotten mangroves where those woodworms are usually harvested. If your stomach is man enough to handle Tamilok, then of course no one can stop you.

I loved and enjoyed my stay there. I’d come back in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

Great family time!

Thank you :) you can also come here and enjoy :)

I would love to some day. Right now I am a caregiver for two elderly people and getting away for just a restaurant meal can sometimes be a challenge.

I always wanted to go to Palawan!

It’s a paradise that surely you never forget :)
