When in Palawan

You have to visit the Underground River in Sabang, frolick on its beaches, and drink buko juice to your bladder's content.

You have to dine in a seafood restaurant called Kalui in Puerto Princesa. For P400 (200Kc) you can have grilled tuna, prawns in butter, vegetable and prawn tempura, plus its oh you spicy clam soup and the ever missed fresh seaweed for starters. The dessert is on the house. Yup, you get to have fresh fruits served in style for free.

You have to go island-hopping at Honda Bay. The first island to explore is usually Panda Island. Why the name, I forgot to ask our guide. But the biggest treat is at Snake Island where you can swim with thousands of fish in different species and where you can see corals in different shapes and sizes even when the water is only waist-deep during low tide. When it's low tide, you'll also understand how the island got its name.

You have to visit the Crocodile Farm and later sweat out in the rainforest of Nature's Park. The humidity is beyond your imagination. You would be sweating buckets so better bring bottles of water with you.

You have to have insect/mosquito repellant with you especially when going to the rivers and rainforests. There can be a gazillion of mosquitos that would threaten to eat you whole.

Most of all, you have to be ready for an adventure when in Palawan. It's one of the most beautiful places in PI that I've visited and truly, it has lived to its reputation of being the country's last frontier.
