Fantastic 5.0
we booked it the same day that we will do the activity. since we are in a joiner tour, we requested to be dropped off on the island where the zip line is after our underground tour. there is a 10-15mins walk/trek from beach drop off then provide the qr code to the staff and they’ll put you on safety gears and off to do the activity. was anxious at first but really this is my first zip line and it was the best. the ride was smooth and not fast. good for people like me who is afraid of heights and fast activities. highlight of our trip!

This trip was such an amazing experience and it was made better by the convenience of this tour package. We were picked up at our condo in the allotted time frame which was good. The drive to the location was uninterrupted because there was no traffic. Our tour guide was also very clear and transparent with our itinerary. We were also blessed because it wasn't that sunny which made it all the better. After arriving at Sabang, we did a small hike up to the zipline area. The zipline over the water was also jaw dropping, an amazing experience indeed. Afterwards, we were toured in the mangrove river. Our boat captain was also very entertaining and knowledgeable about mangroves. We had our lunch near the pier so we just had to walk a little bit to the boat that will take us to the underground river. Overall, the whole trip was an experience of a lifetime. Being able to witness the underground river is something you can only do once.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Palawan–El Nido–Coron Experience! I booked the Tri-City tour package with Ellen’s tours and travels and it turned out to be one of the best travel experiences I’ve had in the Philippines. The island tours were absolutely stunning! Crystal-clear lagoons, limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and some of the most beautiful snorkeling spots I’ve ever seen. The boat crews were extremely friendly, helpful, and made the experience very enjoyable. One highlight was definitely the food included in the boat tours — freshly cooked, delicious, and served on the islands which made the experience even more special. The only minor improvement could be the van transfer from Palawan Airport to El Nido. The journey itself was fine, but some passengers were quite noisy during the long ride which made it slightly less comfortable. If you want a stress-free way to explore El Nido and Coron in one trip, this package is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended

Our stay at Astoria Palawan was absolutely awesome! 😍 Such a great place to be—everything was perfect. The food was delicious, we never ran out of fun things to do, and the vibes were just right. We enjoyed playing beach volleyball, kayaking around, swimming in the nice pools, trying out the water park, and just chilling or swimming by the beach. Definitely a place we’d happily go back to! Highly recommended if you want a fun and relaxing time.

The staff are very accommodating and hospitable. The breakfast is superb! It is convenient from airport to hotel because they have a shuttle van for that.

Our family recently booked a van transfer from Port Barton to Puerto Princesa, and we had a very pleasant experience. The entire process was smooth, convenient, and well-organized from start to finish. The driver arrived on time, was professional and courteous, and ensured that everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. The van was clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate both passengers and luggage comfortably. Despite the long drive, the ride felt safe and relaxed. What we appreciated most was the driver’s careful driving and friendly attitude. He was respectful, helpful with our bags, and made the trip stress-free, allowing us to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Traveling between Port Barton and Puerto Princesa can be a long journey, but this transfer service made it easy and comfortable for our family. We felt safe, well taken care of, and arrived at our destination without any issues.

The room is very clean and spacious. Complete toiletries. They clean the room everyday. Breakfast buffet is good. There's a beach front restaurant where you can enjoy the soft breeze of the sea. Though the beach is not advisable to swim. There's also a SPA. The resort has 2 swimming pools. They also have airport shuttle which is included in the accommodation package. Free use of gym. The resort also offers tour packages.

What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa

Discover Puerto Princesa’s highlights and rhythm

Puerto Princesa is a gateway for tours, outdoor activities and water-based experiences, with guided tours and day trips accounting for the busiest bookings. Demand on Klook peaks in February and drops sharply through the mid-year trough, so the city’s visitor rhythm swings between a lively high season and a much quieter winter lull.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data show February as the peak month for demand and August as the quietest. Prices move independently at times: past Klook data indicate September has been among the priciest months while July tends to be the cheapest on average, so lower prices and smaller crowds typically fall in mid-winter months like July and August. Travellers seeking the peak-season atmosphere should aim for February when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia tend to book around five days ahead, with many still able to book as late as a day or two before travel for spontaneous plans. If you’re visiting in peak season, consider booking activities a few weeks out to secure popular tours; for off-peak trips you’ll usually find lower prices and more last-minute availability on Klook.
