mySpot | The Ultimate Palawan Getaway

Before the year ends, one of my travel highlights is my trip to Palawan with some of my friends.

We took a 4days 3n trip to Puerto Princesa and enjoyed our visit while we where there. We went to different places and tried some of the best exotic foods.

Tamilok (aka wood worm) is one of the well-known exotic foods in the place. My friends tried the breaded tamilok (urgh!) when we had our dinner at Kinabuchs...

On our second day, we went to the underground river (puerto princesa subterranean river national park). But before that, we climbed first at Ugong Rock (a 75-foot something limestone formation in Brgy. Tagabinet in Palawan). We entered inside the dark caves and climbed up on the creepy rocks... They said it was a 45-minutes climbed but it took us about an hour due to stops for photoshoots :) It's actually a perfect exercise 'coz you'll be sweating so much. And when you reach to the top, it's perfect. It was so nice to see the view and you can take pictures near the edge of the rocks.. creepy but fun!

After that, we went for the mangrove paddleboat tour where we saw so many mangroves, monkeys, snakes, and creepy things...

Then, we had our trip in the underground river. Our day ends after our dinner in Ugong Rock restaurant in the city.
On the third day, we had the water activities when we had our tour in Honda Bay (according to our tourguide tita con, it should be Hunda Bay with silent 'h')
We went island hopping to starfish island (where there are lot's of starfish ... as the name implies) and to snake island (but there was no snake there). We did some fish feeding, snorkling and enjoyed the underwater tour where i saw spongebob, nemo, mr. krabs :p and a lot of other things.
