About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

    I've seen Korina Sanchez featured Palawan on her show on AbsCBn. I was really mesmerized not only about the sights, but also the seafood. I saw the biggest and the most unique Alimango I'd ever seen. I don't know if they call it Curacha.

    Wish I can get to Palawan someday. Thanks for sharing your backpacking in the Philippines. Cheers! :-)

    Hi Everyone!

    I found great deals on tickets at Seair. Heres the link if anyone is interested. http://www.flyseair.com/node/307
    Anyway, I have two kids, both under 10 years old and I was wondering what interesting places I can take them too and what hotels are kid friendly! Thanks :)

    This place looks amazing. Seair offers some great deals to Palawan if any of you are interested. http://www.flyseair.com/node/307

    All these places look wonderful. I'll have to do a little more research before I make my final selection on where to stay. I plan to visit Palawan sometime in September.

    Hi! Tutubi, thanks for this informative details for backpacker going to PPUR and I was able to use it. Anyway, I wan't to share to someone how I reach Puerto Princesa without any reservation done: From manila I planned my trip via Ship Sailing with 2GO online website (formerly Negros Navigation & WG&A Superferry) 24hrs sailing and after reach Puerto Pier I stayed in Casitas De Az Pensione, Valencia St. (route to ABS-CBN office), to make cheaper your trip going to Underground River visit first PPUR City Tourism along Rizal Ave. beside Badjao Inn to get permit clearance prior to travel in Sabang, as per suggested of my friend.

     
    At Mar 6, 2012, 8:28:00 AM, Anonymous PAUL said...

    Once you get your permit clearance at City Tourism, try to make reservation in Lexux VAN at San Jose Terminal (0912-1002651@Puerto) to accommodate you on the first trip and vice-versa for the return trip (0912-1002652@Sabang) to avoid inconvenience during your trip or else take a chance for other Jeep/Bus available. At Sabang present your permit at the Tourism office to book you on the boat and pay the amount of Php175/head and Php700/boat plus Php3.00/terminal fee boat are for 6 persons and if you are 2 or 3 persons you can find someone there to get share with the boat to less your fare (Php700) and I heard yesterday that they implement the Enviroment fee of Php40/head.

    Today, I will try to find for a rent a motorcycle for for our city tour rather than hiring a tricycle which will cost you a lot, at least, you may able to tour Puerto Princesa with your own time. Again, I hope this will give more idea to all backpackers who wish to enjoy and have more fun with their trips to Palawan and thank you too for Tutubi for giving informative on how to reach the places in the Philippines. I said: "Don't be stranger to your own Land" explore it by yourself... Have a nice Day :-)

     
    At Mar 6, 2012, 8:48:00 AM, Anonymous PAUL said...

    In addition, upon reaching Sabang there's a lot of choices for accommodation you can find in Sabang if you want to stay depends on your budget as Tutubi said on his previous post.

    Which one is better, this beach or Boracay?

     
    At May 1, 2012, 8:43:00 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

    @ singapore... with your question as to which is better boracay or sabang beach? it depends to your preference. sabang is serene, adventure sort of, rustic but lovely and calming place to stay. boracay is more developed and been in the bussiness for a long while.

    Hi tutubi! I have been reading your blogs and they have been really helpful! Would you happen to know if there would be any fees for the activities you mentioned earlier? (Besides the Palawan Underground river, there's also the Ugong Rock spelunking and zipline, Monkey Trail/Jungle Trail, Mangrove Paddleboat Tour, the Sabang Waterfalls, and a Buddhist Temple to visit in Sabang.)

    Thank you so much for sharing your experiences to people like me!

    I've been to a lot of tours in Asia but there only one place I really wanted go again and again and that is Palawan. I enjoyed every second I was there. It's a perfect paradise and leisure to go through, recentless and relaxing adventure are the words I describe that location. Fantastic!
