Puerto Princesa City Half-day Tour

Arriving Puerto Princesa City Airport immediately after noon, we went straight for the city tour which lasted for about 4 hours (1pm to 5pm). Here are the chronological order of our tour (as suggested by our van driver):

PLAZA CUARTEL
Nothing much to see here though as it is like a memorial park for the war times and the veterans. It is clean and well-maintained.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH
This is just right across the Plaza Cuartel Park. Very solemn and quite place but nothing special too.

PALAWAN CROCODILE FARM & NATURE PARK
Your typical crocodile farm. If you like to take pictures with the crocs, you may do it here while waiting for the scheduled guided tour which is every 30 minutes. Also take time to enjoy their Nature Park after the crocodile farm. You'll have to walk in a forest like environment with caged animals along the path. No guides, guards or staffs inside this park so just follow the trails.

MITRA'S RANCH
This is nestled on top of the hill where you could have a picturesque view of the city. You may also try their zipline if you like to.

BAKER'S HILL
This is famous for their pasalubong products (breads and the like) so better get some to take home. I love everything that they have here. Inside is some what like a park on its own right with a lot of tables and chairs for meals. You may also buy meals and snacks inside with various concessionaires to choose from.
