Fantastic 5.0
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.

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. scenic views on board:

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

The van was very spacious. We booked our trip from El Nido to Puerto here. It was cheaper compared to booking at the terminal itself, especially considering the van was more spacious and had a high ceiling. They also picked us up at our preferred location, which saved us money on transportation to the van terminal. The driver was kind. Overall, it was worth it!

We had a great experience with 2GO traveling to Coron, Palawan! The booking process through Klook was easy and convenient, and everything went smoothly from check-in until the trip. The ship was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. There were also plenty of areas where we could relax and enjoy the sea views. Traveling by cruise was a fun experience, especially for families who want to enjoy the journey instead of taking a quick flight.

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.

What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa

Quick overview of Puerto Princesa and what to do

Puerto Princesa is a coastal destination known for outdoor and water-based experiences, with tours, outdoor & sports activities, attraction passes and parks appearing among the top categories. Demand on Klook peaks in February and eases through late summer, so the city sees a rhythm of busy early-year months and quieter late-year months.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data show demand peaks in February and reaches a low in August. Prices drift through the year: Klook’s past data suggest July is typically the cheapest month for activities, while April tends to be among the priciest months. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in July or the late-summer trough months; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest touring options, February and the early-year months are best. Overall, prices and demand are not perfectly aligned—July is notably cheaper while February is much busier—so you can choose quieter, cheaper travel or lively, peak-season experiences depending on what you prefer.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book activities around five days ahead on average, with many bookings still possible very close to travel (last-minute options around two days out). If you’re planning a short trip, you’ll find flexibility to book a few days before; if you’re traveling in February’s peak, consider securing popular tours earlier to avoid missing out. Use Klook to check timed tour and activity availability as your trip approaches.
