Driver contact no#(Kuya Adonis): 09421001644

WHAT TO DO:

•  Pescador Island hopping
  – Pescador Island is one of the famous marine parks in Cebu that is abundant in marine life which often visited by tourists to dive.Discover scuba diving rate usually starts from 2000 pesos.If you’re not into diving, you can do snorkeling around the island and observe the beauty under.There are several shops in Moalboal where you can rent snorkeling gears that start from 100-200 pesos, in case, you don’t have one.
  Island hopping rate: 1,500 pesos

  

• Sea- Turtle and Sardine Run watching
  -After you’re done in Pescador Island, the next stop is where sea-turtle and the famous sardines run can be found. You also have an option to go for scuba diving around the area and be more tantalized of this wildlife phenomenon.Sometimes, sea turtles can be seen here making  rounds.

  
  I’m not a good swimmer and honestly, I’m even afraid of deep water, but, what I encountered in Moalboal helped me to recover from that fear. While, I was on the boat preparing myself to get down in the dark blue water which indicates that it’s already deep, my heart beating faster and seems like there are butterflies in my stomach.I sat down for a minute to relax by clearing my thoughts from being paranoid and inhale deeply. I can still sense my fear of deep-water as I immersed , but, the tension slowly dropped when I saw this huge school of fish.Watching the shape-shifting sardine run was mind-blowing. From the distance, I  spotted my friends doing free-dive and I was like ” YOLO! I should try that”. I approached my friend, Mark, to film me. For the first try, I made it 10 seconds of holding my breath underwater and did it for several attempts until I hold it longer than that—not bad for a first timer. That experience encouraged me to indulged in attending a free-diving class and turned this into a new hobby.

  
  

• BASDAKU WHITE BEACH 
  -it has a long stretch of white sand beach where travelers can stay for beach camp however, the local government failed to maintain it’s cleanliness. Due to an inevitable flock of tourists in this area, the LGU’s  must strictly imply the proper garbage disposal.What we saw at that time was really disappointing. As a tourist, we should be responsible for our own garbage to avoid destroying our beaches and death of marine species. You paid for an entrance fee of 5 pesos, but, it doesn’t mean that we just depend on the cleanup of the trash from locals. For now, I cannot recommend this place highly enough to visit.

WHERE TO STAY:

• Rocita’s Cottage – For 1,500 good for 3 persons, you can have an air-conditioned room with kitchen and cable TV.
  Contact no: 09169205618 / +630324743530

Since traveling alone in Palawan is quite expensive I looked  for a companion in a backpackers group on Facebook to lessen the expenses for tours and hostels. Luckily, I met a female solo traveler from Manila who planned to be in Palawan with the same dates as mine,so, we discussed about the shared  expenses—tours & hostels—and agreed to meet in Coron Island to talk over the other stuffs.
Tip: Join any online travel groups  to meet co-travelers, read itineraries, be updated of the latest promos and travel news.

GETTING HERE:

EL NIDO

• Book a flight to Puerto Princesa from Manila, Cebu or Iloilo
• Shuttle vans to El Nido are waiting outside the  Puerto Princesa airport. The estimated travel time is 5 to 6 hours.
• Other option is by taking a bus to EL Nido which takes 6-8 hours.

CORON ISLAND
1st Option:

• Book a direct flight to Coron (Busuanga) from Manila
• From Busuanga airport, take a van going to Coron town

2nd Option:

• Take a 12 hour cruise of 2GO from  Manila to Coron Island

3rd option:

• Book a flight to Puerto Princesa from Manila, Cebu or Iloilo
• Take a van or bus bound for El Nido
• Fastcraft and slowboats are available to bring you to port of Coron. For fastcraft, travel time may take 3.5 hours while for large outrigger boats may take 5-9 hours.

How I spent my 7 days in Palawan

Itinerary:

Day 1:
Iloilo Airport to Puerto Princesa
Travel Time: 1 hour
10.30AM – Ride a van bound for El Nido
Travel Time : 5hours
12NN – stopover for lunch
4PM -Checked in at Bamboo Billabong Hostel
5PM onwards- spent the rest of my day strolling in El Nido Town

Day 2:

6AM – breakfast
8AM – took the Ferry to Coron Island
3PM- arrived in Coron Island and ride a trike to Amphibiko hostel
5PM – Maquinit hotspring
7PM onwards – back to hostel, have dinner and strolling around Coron town

Day 3 :

5AM – hike Mount Tapyas
6.30AM – back to town for breakfast
8AM – 6PM – Coron island hopping
7PM onwards – freetime

To avoid heat exhaustion, the best time to climb the 742 step stairway of Mount Tapyas is early in the morning. Good thing, the starting point to Mount Tapyas is just a walking distance from the hostel we stayed in.We woke up 5 in the morning to conquer the 2nd highest mountain in Coron before sunrise. It was still dark when we reached the top, so, we kill our time jogging around the area until the sun rises.

By 6.30 AM, we descended back to town for breakfast and prepare ourselves for a whole day of Island hopping. In the town proper, there are lots of travel agency offering tours and diving course for tourists. I booked the Coron Ultimate Tour, which costs 1500 pesos for 7 islands with lunch and snacks. Scuba diving is also one of the best things to try when you’re in Coron since the island’s aquatic life is abundant and totally remarkable.

Day 4:
6AM – breakfast
8AM – took the ferry back to El Nido
3PM – arrived in El Nido
– checked in Nido’s Friendly Inn
3PM onwards- stroll around El Nido town

Day 5:
6AM – breakfast
7AM – 5PM Island hopping (Tour A & C)
5PM onwards – freetime

Before heading to El Nido, we already made an arrangement with a local to booked us on combination tour A & C which costs 1500 per person. This already includes a scrumptious lunch prepared by local boatmen.

Day 6 :
6AM -breakfast
7AM-5PM- Land tour (Nacpan Beach & Las Cabanas)
5.30PM -back to Nido’s Friendly Inn
7PM -dinner
8PM onwards-ride a trike to Bus Terminal bound for PPS

Renting a motorbike in El Nido town is the cheapest way to get to Nacpan beach and Las Cabanas. Normally the motorbike rental would cost 400 – 500 pesos for 24 hours usage. If you don’t know how to use a motorbike, you can haggle with trike drivers to give you a tour around El Nido.

Wear a pair of trekking sandal or shoes  when you get here since its slippery and you need to cross over this river in order to get to the other side.The trail to Lunao falls was easy but requires you to be an extra cautious since there are lots of rocks along the way.The reddish color of rocks were caused by sulfur which goes with the water.

This place is not only for nature lovers, but also for those travelers who want to quench their adrenaline rush—climbed this giant boulder with an estimated height of 10 feet and from the top you can jump off to the freezing cold water.

GETTING HERE:

• From Bacolod Libertad, ride a bus bound for  Maao (30pesos)
• From Maao Public Market, take a trike going to Mailum (30pesos)
  • Ask some locals to lead you to the falls (no fixed rate for the guide fee)

HOW TO GET THERE:

*From Caticlan, charter a tricycle or habal-habal to take you to the port going to Carabao island or commonly known as Hambil.
 Fare: 50 pesos
Travel Time: 30minutes

Upon arrival, I looked for Kameo Lodge, which is located in the very end of the shoreline.It would only took you 10 minutes of walking till you reached the lodge.Their fan room costs 500 pesos,  good for 2 persons with own bathroom. At night, I just bought my dinner in an inasal stand nearby and ate it there.If you want to order a well-cooked meals,then you can bought it at 5-13 convenience store,it’s just a walking distance from the lodge.

The next morning, I woke up early for an island tour by motorcycle with the assistance from a local guide.In traveling, it’s better to do it on weekdays to avoid crowd and photo-bombers on every  spot you visited .

Here are the places to see in Carabao Island/Hambil:

NGIRITON CAVE

KODING CAVE

HOW TO GET THERE:
 * From Iloilo City, take a jeepney to Leon
Travel Time: 1 hour
*From Leon, ride a jeepney to Bucari
Travel Time: 45 minutes
*As you arrive , hire a habal-habal to take you to Brgy. Bobon—this serves as your jump-off point to Mt.Agua.

Me and my friends got there around 11am and the sun was scorching hot.If you decides to hike in Mt.Agua,better start the trek as early as possible. Half of the trail is open and surrounded by cogon grass.It is recommended to wear long-sleeves,leggings,hat and apply sunscreen.The first two hours of our trek  was entirely uphill  and it was really exhausting. Never expected such a  difficult steep assault. After 2 hours of struggling  in climbing at midday, I finally got the chance to rest and ate our lunch. We stopped for half an hour to regain our energy for another 2hour trek inside the forest,which was more easier.

We’ve completed the 4hour hike to summit at around 4PM .The wind started to chill and fog gradually covered the mountain view.

Conquering Mount Agua Colonia requires a lot of endurance and stamina.The hike
experienced was indeed challenging.You will definitely skip leg workouts in the gym after climbing this mountain.
