DIY- Do It Yourself | PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER
wow this is way cheaper than the rates na nakikita ko online and take note, discounted price na yun... I guess it is really ideal to conduct your own DIY tour .. it's quite risky but the experience you get from it is really more rewarding! I admire your courage for traveling alone. keep it up bro!
ReplyDeleteThe 2,000 rate for a 3D2N is really low. May I just ask if you visited there in lean season, coz it seemed that the place is empty thus is more endearing to explore.
ReplyDeleteI truly envy you guys. I've never been to Vizayas and Mindanao, even in other parts of Luzon. I will surely visit these places and since your guides are helpful, I will make this as my reference for my future trips :)
ReplyDeleteI also want to go to Puerto Princesa but I don't want to spend too much. Aside from summer, when is the ideal month to visit Puerto Princesa? I don't want to go there during peak season because I suspect it gets crowded.
ReplyDeleteThe crowd in Urderground river is less than 1000 person per day year round as per city tourism.
DeleteYou just gave me another reason to go back to Puerto Princesa. I wasn't able to go to Sabang. Have you been to Port Barton by any chance?
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful! I'm eyeing out piso fare/discounted tickets this year so I can finally get to see our very of world wonder! ☺
ReplyDeleteI agree with Johna, kailan kaya ipo post ang PISO FARE! About your post, Puerto Princesa is on my bucket list and I'll make sure that we visit those places you've been to.
ReplyDeleteWe've been here and our trip was arranged by a travel tour agency from puerto princesa.. The place was very lovely and inside the cave was majestic! I wanna go back!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! As always, you've captured the place so beautifully! Gusto ko rin i-try! Sana I have the time during the summer for a vacation, but work limits my gala days. Haha! What a lovely, informative post! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe underground river is a must for first timers. I dont recommend it the second time around.
ReplyDeleteI love how helpful this post is with locations and information on all the lodging here
ReplyDeleteIf I have any regrets, it's that I didn't travel like crazy when I was still single. Had to wait for the kids to be old enough so I can do it again, for now I just stalk your blog :P
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!! I wish to visit Puerto Princesa soon if only it's not that expensive
