Just thought that I could share this itinerary for Palawan. Enjoy your trip!
PUERTO PRINCESA, PALAWAN
Always touted as the last frontier of the Philippines, the island province of Palawan holds true to that reputation. This area is considered as one of the few dream destinations for many seasoned and would-be travelers. With more than a thousand islands, islets, cays and shoals and matched by impressive limestone cliffs, excellent coral reefs, cultures and other interesting natural treasures, I recommend that you allot at least three to four days of your entire lifetime to visit the attractions in Palawan.
For a great taste of the destination, you can try this already-proven itinerary.
DAY 1
6:00 A.M. ETD Manila
7:00 A.M. ETA Puerto Princesa City
Take a tricycle or get to a service vehicle
Check-in Hotel or Lodging House
Breakfast
After Breakfast Hire a tricycle or a service vehicle for a city tour
Visit the following:
Butterfly Farm
This is a private lot that was converted into a butterfly farm where one
can see butterflies in all stages of their lives. Adult butterflies flutter
about in a landscaped garden where tourists can freely walk.
Iwahig Penal Colony
This is actually a prison area where the inmates are given the chance to
become farmers and workers in the sprawling land. A visitor can buy
handicrafts made by the prisoners.
Crocodile Farm
A different kind of farm where crocodiles are kept in captivity to help their
species survive in the Philippines. More than 500 crocodiles call this home.
Visitors can see the skeleton of a huge man-eater that gobbled up
people in the past. They will also be given lectures on the ecological
importance of crocodiles and later, made to walk on steel boardwalks
located on top of crocodile pens. Have some pesos ready for a photo
opportunity while holding a baby croc and buying some souvenir items
make of crocodile teeth.
