Sabang Port

Food Tripping in Sabang, Puerto Princesa, Palawan

March 6, 2012 by Josiah 4 Comments

We arrived at Sabang around 9AM via Lexus Shuttle Service and we were hungry!!!

The 50 Peso Dingy Diner

My brother and I planned that on this trip we would try to do things as cheap as possible, so we first looked for cheap breakfast. We checked out a couple of diners but the cheapest they can offer is a 89 Peso meal which is actually really off our budget.

We decided to walk westward, away from the lodgings and try our luck there. After passing by the port, asking some locals and passing by small souvenir shops we arrived at a dingy diner which serves 40 Peso dishes and an additional of 10 Peso rice.

I ordered nilagang baka and my brother ordered chicken adobo. For 50 pesos each we had our fill that morning.

Chicken Adobo

The Tribal Lunch

After checking out some lodging at the west side of Sabang and visiting their waterfalls, we were thirsty and hungry again!!! We decided to try another diner and clumsily decided not to buy water since we were already looking for lunch.

Unfortunately, almost all the diners near Sabang Port are only service Eat-All-You-Can food for 200 Pesos. That’s way beyond our budget. We decided to keep on walking until we find cheap food.

PPUR Policies

If you want to visit the Underground River you have to abide by the policies written below.

Underground River Booking Office Contact Numbers

Address: #350 Rizal Avenue, Brgy. Bancao-Bancao, Puerto Princesa City
Telephone No.: (048) 723-0904
Telefax: (048) 434-2509
E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]
Website: Puerto-UndergroundRiver.com

Notes

  • According to the staff of PPUR Office they now have an allotment of 100 slots solely for walk-in visitors. This makes the success of getting a permit through walk-in or do-it-yourself higher.
  • If you’re planning to do the walk-in to get the PPUR permit it is best that you visit the PPUR Office as soon as you get to Puerto Princesa.
  • There’s a higher probability of success if you schedule your visit to the PPUR on Monday to Thursday and avoid holidays.

I hope this helps when you visit the Underground River when you Do-It-Yourself.

These are the information I got from my recent visit to the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) Office at the City Coliseum. The details here may not be updated. It is better to contact the PPUR Office directly for the updated way on how you can get a permit.

  • Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) Office is no longer located near Badjao Inn. They already moved to the City Coliseum.
  • El Nido ETDF and Accommodation receipts from Port Barton are no longer honored. Staying overnight in Sabang is also no longer honored. The only way now to get a permit is to visit the PPUR Office at the City Coliseum.
