Palawan Adventure Trip

The trip was for my daughter's birthday and the first time just the two of us traveling together. Thanks to Cebu Pacific Air for having a direct flight from Davao to Puerto Princesa (v.v.).

It was drizzling when we  arrived in Puerto Princesa City. From the Airport, we proceeded directly to "PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER" booking office to register for the next day tour. But it was already fully booked. Guests were limited due to bad weather.  Glad to meet Miss Jean of JD Travel who helped us arranged  our booking for the day tour in Puerto Princesa underground River but it was scheduled two days after.  

We checked in at Princesa Inn. Later that  afternoon  we went to the Cathedral, Plaza Cuartel, Baywalk, strolled along  Rizal Street and had our dinner at Jollibee.

On our second day, we had our Do-it-yourself City tour.  The places we visited were Binuatan Creations , Butterfly Sanctuary, Bakers Hill, Mitra Ranch, Palawan Wildlife and Rescue Center, Palawan Museum and  Capitol of Palawan. Before we went back to Princesa Inn, returned  to Baywalk. My daughter enjoyed riding the bicycle for rent at Php25.00 per hour. We tried eating  street foods at the Baywalk. We also had our  sumptuous dinner in KaLui Restaurant, known to be the most famous restaurant in Puerto Princesa.

Our last day was spent on  a day tour in Puerto Princesa Underground River.  A van fetched us as early as  6:00a.m. since all of the guests had our flights in the afternoon. We arrived in Port of Sabang at 8:00a.m. Everything was arranged by our guide from boat transfers to and from  Puerto Princesa Underground River. The tour inside took around 40 minutes. We cannot take good photos inside since they only use one lamp in every boat. Before we return to the airport, we had our  buffet lunch in a nearby resort in Sabang.

Getting Ready for the PPUR Tour

If you have plenty of time in Palawan don't miss  the Honda Bay Tour and Ihawig Firefly Sanctuary. Hopefully it will be included in our next trip. 

Road Trip to Lake Sebu and Seven Waterfalls

Since my friend Tina had her own motorcyle we both decided on taking a road trip to Lake Sebu and the seven waterfalls in a day. It was 4:00am when she picked me up at my home. We took the route from Davao City,  passed through Digos City then Makilala, North Cotabato.  

 

Our first stop was at Sultan Kudarat Provincial Capitol. We couldn't find an ideal place for breakfast along the way so we decided to eat our late breakfast at  Jollibee Tacurong.

 The road trip continued as we passed through Isulan, Sto. Niño, Surallah and finally to Lake Sebu. Resorts and cottages are available if you want to stay overnight in Lake Sebu. 

Our last stop for the day was to visit only two out of the seven waterfalls in Lake Sebu namely Hikong Alu (FAlls 1) and Hikong Bente (Falls 2) the highest waterfalls in Lake Sebu.We were amazed  as we saw  the beauty of the two majestic waterfalls.

On our way back, we took a different route. We passed through  Polomok, General Santos City, Digos City and finally after 24 hours of  traveling with a motorcyle we arrived Davao City at 4:00am the next day. Why? because on our way back home the pump boy in a gasoline station in General Santos City filled the gas tank with deisel so we had an engine trouble near Malungon, Sarangani but the motorcycle was repaired and we got home safely.
