The place is best for relaxed island hopping trip with a lot of recreational activities to do. I'm back in my hometown after completing my studies in the UK so now its time for some Asian trip. Took a 2 hours flight from Brunei to Manila before taking another domestic flight to Puerto Princesa for an hour. Transport wa arranged by the hotel so pickup was no issue. Despite our hotel being barely 2 minutes drive from the airstrip. The reason why i used airstrip is because its a really small airport.
Thus why i had to take another domestic flight from Manile when Puerto Princesa was on the way from Brunei to Manila. Anything further you can always hop on a tricycle similar to tuktuk's in Thailand for about USD2.
Be wary as they will always try to hike up the price for foreigners even for Asian like me. There isn't much to do in Puerto Princesa if you are looking for shopping and shopping malls. But if you are looking for some good seafood and drink you can hop on the tricycle and ask to be brought to Baywalk which is essentially a stretch of stalls selling all kinds of seafood and pork with the non-exception of good ol' Red Horse beer seriously try those!
You can get sea urchins for as cheap as USD1 for 3. Eaten raw or grilled its up to you. But just like any other tourist spots there will always be scammers and pickpockets so just becareful with your belongings just like how you would in Paris.
Onto attraction the only attraction we went in Puerto Princesa is the Underground River which is a long stretch of river inside a cave with all the interesting rocks and formations in there. Kinda boring if you aren't fascinated with rocks and formation but hey, its one of the nature wonder of the world. So its worth a trip there. Basically the tour will pick you up from your individual hotel and after a short drive to the harbour we take a boat to the island with the Underground River.
