Manila to Puerto Princesa City Ferry Most Popular Questions

Manila Guide

Manila Ferry Port

Manila is the capital of the Philippines, lying on the west coast of the country. It has many ferry routes departing the port, primarily to other popular tourists resorts belonging to the Philippines such as Cebu, Bacolod City and Cagayan De Oro. Covering a vast area and laying home to nearly two million people, Manila isn’t short of things to do. The trendy art galleries, thriving alternative music scene and chilled bars have transformed it from a place synonymous with hardship into one of Asia’s most effortlessly cool cities. Skyscrapers litter the skyline and the streets are overwhelmed with traffic, but that’s what Manila is all about – a bustling metropolitan city offering a modern café or atmospheric restaurant on every corner. For those wishing to sample a traditional sightseeing trip, then there is a lot to fit on the itinerary. The rich history associated with Manila hasn’t faded away in the shadow of its modernisation; the walled city of Intramuros is a spectacularly unique sight, and just across the road visitors are obliged to experience the beautiful Rizal Park. Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church are all worthwhile visiting, or for a refreshing change of pace the Marikina Shoe Museum or Manila Ocean Park provide a more relaxed experience. Unconventional transport is on the agenda in Manila; jeepneys swarm the city, which are similar to a pick-up truck, carrying many passengers at a time on a fixed route. They don’t detour for any passengers, but are a very cheap way to get closer to a more desired destination. Regular taxis are also fairly inexpensive, and considering the city’s chaotic nature, they are oftentimes the easiest and most convenient option.


Puerto Princesa City Guide

Puerto Princesa City Ferry Port

Puerto Princesa is found in the western province of Palawan, am archipelago belonging to the Philippines. The ferry routes departing the port are to popular tourist resorts in the Philippines, often used by travellers embarking on day trips before returning the next day.

What is there to do in Puerto Princesa?

Puerto Princesa has perhaps been unfairly dubbed as a resting spot between more popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. Sure, the day trips to remote beaches, gorgeous countryside and thriving bar and club scenes are remarkably convenient, yet there is much more to the city than just transport links. The Underground River is one of the highlights of the Philippines; alluring caves and mysterious caverns are engulfed by aqua waters and beautiful scenery, allowing visitors to witness unique foliage and rare wildlife before enjoying a sumptuous buffet lunch. As spectacular as the river may appear, it does take a while to reach; for an easier journey it may be worthwhile heading to Honda Bay for a relaxing day in the still bodies of water. If swimming in exotic water and exploring enigmatic caves isn’t your thing, there is a wide range of alternative activities. Ugong Rock is a utopia for adrenaline junkies; the jagged cliffs and towering mountainside are ideal for rock climbing and hiking, affording breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. For those who prefer to spend their time indoors, speciality museums are dotted around the centre, showcasing the cultural history of Puerto Princesa.

How do you get around Puerto Princesa?

Jeepneys (shared pick-up trucks) dominate the road and offer set routes around the city, usually for very cheap prices. Tricycles are another popular way to get around, though make sure you remember the name of your street as many sound very similar.
