Cheaper Way to Tour Puerto Princesa, Palawan

December 7, 2011 by Josiah

You might just be turned-off when you see the standard prices offered by different travel agencies in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Let’s say that you’re going to do the City Tour (P600/pax), Honday Bay (P1,100/pax) and Iwahig Firefly Watching (P1,100/pax) that would cost you P2,800! But don’t get turned-off yet to Puerto Princesa, there’s still a chance to go cheaper and the answer is travel with friends and ride Tourism Accredited Tricycles.

Was my 1,200 Pesos worth it for the Underground River Tour?

Brochures, flyers, asked people and the most helpful was the Published Rates from the Department of Tourism.

We were in luck, we had a P300 discount. So we pretended that we were a little bit doubtful about the package and eventually said yes and took the package.

Was the P1,200 really worth it for a day tour package to the Underground River?

When we went to Sabang, I asked the Tourism Assistance Information Center on how to get to the Underground River without availing of the tour package and here’s what I found out.
