A Trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Went to Puerto Princesa, Palawan with my college friend last October 2011. After nearly being scammed by Ensemble travel agency thru Metrodeal, I booked our flights via Air Philipines at their regular fares at P5,042 each for roundtrip tickets. I've also managed to book the accommodation and tours via a forum member from PinoyExchange.
We left Manila last October 21, 2011 Friday. The flight took about 1 hour and landed at Puerto Princesa airport at around 9:20am. Like most most provincial airports here, you'll need to walk across the tarmac before going inside the terminal. Since we didn't have any checked in luggage, we headed towards the exit where there was someone waiting for us from Marianne Inn. It took about 10-15 minutes to get to the inn including traffic along their main highway.
Tip: If you do not have airport transfers, you can just walk towards the tricycles stationed out front or walk towards the main road and take the trike from there (cheaper than those stationed at the airport).
We rode the inn's shuttle van and checked in to our room in the 1st floor nearest the stairs. We freshened up a bit before they picked us up for the Underground River tour.
