Fantastic 5.0
I'm very confident to say that this tour was very worth it. For 1,919 per person, it already includes van transfers, boat transpo, lunch, and payment of island entrances (very convenient). All three destinations were breathtaking with the tropical fishes at the reef and scenic beaches in Luli and Cowrie Island. Our tour guide was also very accommodating and knowledgeable about all the places we were heading. Overall, I recommend if you are planning on having your vacation here in Puerto Princesa.

I’m not usually a fan of city tours, but this one was different. I really enjoyed the experience because of our guide, Kuya Dennis. He is excellent at explaining the history and culture of Palawan, which made the tour so engaging. He was also very accommodating, and I was impressed by how well he remembers all the historical dates!

Here I will say admiration for both transport and service. The sum of the emotion of the sunrise, the breakfast served, no matter that it was not very good, but it was so tasty, maybe from the climbing😉

Excellent overall service! They have good choices of food at the resturant but we didn’t expect that the soda is way pricey. But for us, the complimentary breakfast is great! the best thing about our experience is the location that is so close if you opt for Honda Bay island hopping which is just few minutes ride to the wharf that that you can even walk to. They also have different kinds of pool including kiddie pool and a natural spring pool in one. The staff were also nice and kind 🤍 We enjoyed much of our 2-night stay! It was our second time staying here ☺️
