My Palawan Escapade [DAY 3 of 4]: New 7 Wonders' Puerto Princesa Underground River and Honda Bay Island Hopping (Plus Foodtrip)


DAY 3 started with an early wake-up call, for our Honda Bay Island Hopping (30-minute trip from City Proper) and was actually one of the best beach experience I ever had, seriously. I enjoyed the Pambato Reef snorkling as well (amazing experience). We could have done it one whole day to visit more islands. (click photos below to enlarge)

Next stop for DAY 3 is the Underground River Tour. It was a 1-hour+ trip from Honda Bay. We arrived at Brgy. Sabang Proper (where we paid environmental fee, for got how much) exactly 1PM then we took a boat ride (around 20-minutes, boat rental is Php700) from there to the docking station of the river. Those South China sea waves made me so nervous (was really thinking the boat's gonna flip). We then arrived at the waiting area, waiting for our turn. You may refer to below shots of our Underground River experience (click photo to enlarge).

We went back to city proper and exactly time for dinner. We had a foodtrip this time, we tried that Vietnamese Cuisine (I forgot the name again, haha) just nearby Ysabelle's Mansion. Then we went to Ka Lui Restaurant. The setting was really nice, relaxation at its best while we enjoyed eating their best delicacies. Refer to below photos (click photo to enlarge).
