No babies yet, making pa.. we choose palawan because of the enchanting place s there, we planned it july 1 and we started booking july 6,2015.. Well pagmadalian na lakas tlgng hindi ka makakakuha ng cheap price from all airlines, we choose the philippine airlines since 1600php lng ang difference ni cebu pac via davao to manila dn manila to puerto vice versa na, i think all in fare namin for two is 23,600 yah cguro sa iba mahal talaga yun pero maganda nman din ang service ni pal at walang delayed flight in all fairness kahit bagyo, nag hanap din ako ng mga cheap tours around palawan, many of them offered the 3D/2N with tour but when i checked the hotels hindi sya ganun ka ganda pero okay na for a group pero kami kasi we will be celebrating our wedding anniversary so mas pinili namin na wag mag all in tour so that we can have a pleasant and a private vacation, we choose our hotel named acasia tree garden hotel near at the airport i booked it using expedia but before i booked i called the hotel din to make sure if expedia is legit or not then when they said that it is safe binooked ko na agad for 5 nights we pay 10,500php all in with free shuttle, free breakfast. when we arrived hindi kami na sundo ng shuttle kasi til 5pm lng ang availability ng van nila dumating kami mga 7pm na pag labas mo ng airport marami ka na mang pwdng sakyan like tricycle, vans, taxi and van ng mga hotels, we choose to ride in the taxi kasi ndi pa namin kabisado ang lugar but with the help of google map mas advantage sa amin na makita agad ang lugar, sobranf na surprise kami kasi malapit lng pla tlga ng hotel nmin sa airport ang nabayad namin sa taxi is only 50php flat rate nila is 40php, when we arrived at the hotel all the staff is so hospitable and smiling face also with matching free welcome drinks pa with a flavor of pandan its good,and delicious,pag pasok mo sa lobby nila tatambad sayo ung lobby nila na cozy with billiard table and other filipino culture na mga laro, after signing some docs for legal purposes they guide us to our room and surprise again tumambad sa amin ang napaka laking room for two person with flat screen tv, aircon, cabinets, cr with blower and hot and cold shower, net and clean also tlga ang room tska mabango, after that we decided to have our dinner sa restaurant nila, and the restaurant is also nice, classy,modern, they have nice music with complete table accessories, we ordered two dishes since dalawa lang kami and its good also, their food is delicious ung tipong hindi tinipid sa sauce and ingredients, following day nun start ng 1st day tour namin city tour for only 600php per pax in all fairness namn sulit din ang 600 kasi magaling at mabait ang tour guide nmin si ate v, marami kaming napuntahan like, cathedral, baywalk, baker hill, mitra, atbp. After the tour nag pa drop kami sa KINABUCHS GRILL AND BAR, pero di namin masyado na enjoy kasi most of their food tuna or seafoods eh laking seafoods na kami pero masarap prin and we also try the famous TAMILOK or wood worm na isasawsaw sa suka with sili for only 180php per serve. Masarap naman din😉 on the 2nd day tour our destination is the famous UNDERGROUND RIVER, for 1540 per pax with lunch and hotel pick up and drop, our experienced was awesome, lots of rocks formation and you will be amaze in every portion of the cave and not to mention the very energetic and funny cave man, full of since of humor, lots of bats and birds na maririnig mo inside the cave, u will see the rocks na form of mama mary, mga veges, bottles, jesus, animals, and even pacman, our tour guide said that they always cater 900 pax minimum a day in underground river, imagine ilang tao ang pumupunta doon every month, such a good thing for tourisim, after that we go back to the pantalan or warf then we had lunch there buffet style,ung pagkain inato lang pero ang sarap, marami din ang variety tlgng hindi ka manghihinayang sa 1540php mo, after that around 1pm pauwi na sna kami but our tour guide offered us the ugong rock adventure since maaga pa, when we arrived marami ding tao, for 200php entrance fee ul will have a chance to explore one of the caves of palawan and the bunos is you will be able to touch the rocks na nakaka creat ng sounds and also may mga rock formation din, its a breath taking for me sobrang kipot ng daan at ang mga bato nakakatakot lalo na pag walang ilaw pero despite of everything we still enjoy it with a funny and entertaining tour guide sympre, we reach the highest pick of the cave nandun din ang superman and fastest zipline, since we always do the supperman position, we choose the fastest, sitting position going down for 250php and pic 100php pero optional, another amazing experience for us, pag uwi nmin dumaan kami sa souvinier shop kasi may mga kasma kming papauwi na sa mga hometown nila, i dont remmber the name pero para syang chang-gi style doon kami pumasok sa airconditioned na store at tumambad sa amin ang pagka ganda gandang mga souvinier like tshirts, key chains, sandos, short, bag, malongs, etc. in a very affordable price, nakabili ako ng tshirt at sandos for only 80php each dn key chains range from 5-15php mrn ding 35-200php at mga other palawan products in a very affordable price din but since limited lang ang bagagge nmin kunti lang din ang nabili, then we go back na in our hotel, on our 3rd day tour we explore the beauty of DOS PALMAS ISLAND for 1840 per pax with welcome drinks, free buffet lunch, kayaking, snorkling, biking, and island tour but we didnt tried the island tour i dont know why, haha dito ako kunting na disappoint, pero kunti lang namn, hihi kasi when we tried the snorkling we really expect for a clear and healthy corals but unfortunately oppossite nun, if nakapunta na kau tuka beach, u will see and understand what im saying, so hnd nmin masyadong na enjoy ang dos palmas, but the food is good din pero kunti lng ang choices sa food pero mern din namang dessert and bad thing pa is pinabayad kami sa fins kasi nwala ang isang pares pero we are sure na tlgng nabalik nmin un ng kompleto pinabayad sa amin is 800php sabi nila ipapadala dw ang kapares nun pero wla nmn pla kaya hnd nalng kmi nangulit, dn we go home 1:30minutes ang byahe from warf to dos palmas vice versa malaki ang boat nila named calypso with 60 person capacity, dn 20 minutes again from warf to nccc mall, dn kanya2x na sa pag uwi, in our 4th day wala na kaming tour time to rest na nanood kami ng sine doon, dn nag pa massage tpos kumain kami sa ka loiue restaurant na sobrang sarap at mura lng, maganda ang place nya maraming paintings wlang upuan pag kakain ka. On our 5th day byahe na namin papuntang manila.
Tips ko sa mga may planong mag palawan:
If grupo kayo maganda eh experience ang packages nila like 3D/2N Nila specialy pag napuno nyo ang van nila ng wla na kaung ibang makasma, sa mga babae for me lng ha iwasan ang mag suot ng dress kasi sa mga pupuntahan nyo ndi kau makakagalaw masyado kahit pa naka shorts kau, except lng kung city tour lang kayo, dn iwasan dn ang maglagay ng heavy make up kasi maagnas tlga lalo na sa underground and dospalmas, honda bay and dolphin watching, disadvantage din kasi ng mag mamake up tlgang kailangan mag retouch consume masyado sa oras at hndi maiiwasan na may maghintay sau na mga ibang kasama mo sa tour nku tlgang maiinis sila. And also sa underground river iwasan ang mag suot og magdala ng gamit na kulay yellow lalo na sa mga gudgets marming mga unggoy doon snatcher sila, pag nakita nila na dudukot ka ng bag aakalain nila na bibigyan mo sila ng food pag wla kang mbbgay may pusibilidad na kakalmutin o kakagatin ka nila at pilit na kukunin ang mga gamit mo, ndi kasi pwd silang ikulong o saktan kasi protected area ang U.R kng baga tayong mga tao ang bisita nila sa kanila un na lugar, nung nag visit kami doon may nakagat na bata and masakit pa wla silang clinic doon for that kind of accident, dn wag masyadong magdala ng gamit kng ano lng ung importante, magdala din ng insect repellant maraming lamok at other insects baka ma kagat kayo, and also may mga nag bebenta jan ng plastic na bag for only 150 to 180 php you can put ur phone and money there, pero limited lng dn ang space, pero atleast safe ang phone mo, at ndi tlga mababasa kasi pag baba nyo sa bangka ndi tlga maiiwasan ang matumba ka or ma out of balance sa lakas ng alon, ung kasma namin natumba dlawang phone nya sira iphone at lenovo sayang masyado. And lastly eenjoy nyo ang experience, ang lahat2x. Thank you po.
