Baguio City Travel Guide / Baguio City DIY Do it yourself tour



Baguio Travel Guide, Tara...Let's go...






Welcome to Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines! We toured this city last February 27- March 1 2015,  for the famous Panagbenga Festival or the Blooming Flowers Festival which is held in the entire month of February but majority of the tourists go up to Baguio on the last week to witness the grand parade with colorful floats covered with flowers.

Palawan Travel Guide (Day 2)

DAY 2 (Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park), Tara...Let's go...




Ray, the owner of Ezy Stay, booked our tour to the Underground River for Php 1340.00/person. Tour package consists of van rental from inn to Sabang Port and vice versa, boat rental, environmental fees and buffet lunch. Our tour operator 3B's travel and tours (048-4341436/ 0919 2404041) with friendly tour guide May picked us up @ 7:00am and from Ezy Stay, we proceeded to other hotels and inns to pick up other guests. We are 13 in the group, 5 Filipinos, 2 British, 1 American, 3 Danish and 2 Canadians, all are very friendly and cheerful.We stopped by the Provincial Capitol to get our permits and took the 2hr drive to Sabang Port. There is 1 stopover during the trip. The road going to Sabang is paved, just be ready for that roller coaster ride because of the ups and downs and the curves. Arrived in Sabang port @ 11AM and since there are many tourists, we have to wait for 1-2 hrs before we can enter the Underground River.

Hi there once again, I'm here to share our experience when we went on a DIY tour in Palawan particularly in Puerto Princesa and the famous Underground River last January 16-18 2016. I will share  where you can stay, places to visit and what activities to do when your're in Palawan as well as expenses incurred during the trip. So sit back, relax and happy reading.
Me and wife boarded Air Asia flight Z424 @ 09:30 AM and occupied seats 26B & C and plane took off 10:00AM, our airfare costs Php 3200.00 that was booked 6months in advance,(tip: you may opt to wait for a better deal from the 3 airline companies(Air Asia, PAL & CebuPacific, sometimes their promo fares to local destinations can go as low as Php1.00). We arrived  @ Puerto Princesa International Airport around 11:05AM and proceeded to the main exit gate located at the right side of the airport. If you booked with a travel agent, there will be people waiting @ the parking area holding signs that show your names on it.
