The hotel informed us of the pickup time the day before, but it was vague, stating 6:30 AM to 7:00 AM. Ultimately, it took an hour and a half to pick up everyone and get going. The highlight of the tour, the underground river, was wonderful, and the audio guide even had a Japanese translation, so the explanations were perfect. The cave boat ride was fantastic! The lunch at Sabang Wharf was also delicious. When I told the guide that we only had 30 minutes to transfer to the shared van for El Nido on the way back, he reassuringly said it would be fine. After lunch, there were optional activities like ziplining and mangrove kayaking. If you don't do these, you can return about 2.5 hours earlier than the stated end time. I think this activity is a great value for the price.

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.

When we arrived they let us eat before the "firefly tour", the food was good, there were many choices, and personally I've loves the live singer/guitarist (Junnel). The firefly tour by the river was fantastic, the guide was full of facts about the mangrooves and fireflies, he even captured a firefly to show us. Really reccomended

GO! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ You may see whale sharks, you may not, just go and have a good time. These people are professional, kind, and excellent cooks. We had 8 whale shark encounters and an encounter with manta rays! We got lucky, you may not, but don't give them a 1 star because you don't see a shark or because you are a poor swimmer. They provide life jackets, so wear a jacket if you're a poor swimmer.

Totally worth it. Private tour meant we skipped the hassle, got to the boat on time, and had the cave practically to ourselves for a few minutes. Our guide was funny and made sure we saw the monitor lizards on the beach too.

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!

An Unforgettable 3D2N Palawan Join-in Tour! 🌊
We had a wonderful and memorable experience exploring the beauty of Palawan! The tour was a great way to discover different destinations without the hassle of arranging everything ourselves.
From the breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters to the overall adventure, every destination was worth visiting. The tour guides and boat crew were friendly, accommodating, and helpful throughout the trip. We also appreciated the food, transportation, and overall organization, which made the experience more convenient and enjoyable.
Traveling with other people made the adventure even more fun. Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but overall, we truly enjoyed our 3D2N experience.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Palawan in a convenient and enjoyable way!
Thank you to the entire team for making this trip one for the books. Palawan, you were absolutely worth it! 🤍

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.

Quick facts about Puerto Princesa
General info
What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa
What Puerto Princesa is known for
Puerto Princesa draws most bookings for Tours, followed by Outdoor & sports activities and Attraction passes, with Parks & gardens and Water activities also appearing in Klook data. Demand follows a clear annual rhythm: Klook booking data show a peak in February and much quieter months in October. That makes it a destination for active day trips, snorkelling and island tours at different intensities across the year. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter beaches — Klook booking data help you match activities to the busier and calmer months.
When to go and what to expect
Klook booking data show February as the busiest month, with demand roughly 56% higher, while October is the quietest, about 38% lower than a typical month. Prices move differently: the priciest months on Klook were July and August with typical prices around MYR 158, while October, November and December trend lower around MYR 45. That means crowds peak in February, but the highest prices are mid-year; for lower prices and smaller crowds aim for October. For peak-season atmosphere, visit in February or the busier early-year months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | MYR 150 |
| February | Peak demand | MYR 45 |
| March | Busier than usual | MYR 45 |
| April | Busier than usual | MYR 150 |
| May | About average | MYR 61 |
| June | About average | MYR 61 |
| July | Quieter than usual | MYR 158 |
| August | Quieter than usual | MYR 158 |
| September | Quieter than usual | MYR 57 |
| October | Quieter than usual | MYR 45 |
| November | About average | MYR 45 |
| December | Busier than usual | MYR 45 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers book experiences with some planning: Klook booking data show people typically lock things in about 5 days ahead, while the earliest planners book about 20 days out. That means you can still be flexible and book a few days before travel, but for February and other busier months it pays to reserve sooner. Use Klook to compare options and secure popular tours and water activities in advance; last-minute availability often appears within 2 days, but top choices fill earlier. Book confidently on Klook to match your travel rhythm and the season.
