About Puerto Princesa
Puerto Princesa is a city located on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. Known for its stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and vibrant marine life, it is a popular destination for beach lovers and divers. The currency used in Puerto Princesa is the Philippine Peso. The city also boasts the famous Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
When to visit
The best time to visit Puerto Princesa is during the dry season from November to May when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. The wet season from June to October brings heavy rainfall and occasional typhoons, so it is best to avoid this time if you want to enjoy outdoor activities.

Taxis are available but can be more expensive. Walking is a great way to explore the city center and nearby attractions.
Traveller tips
Make sure to bring sunscreen and insect repellent as the sun can be strong and there are mosquitoes in some areas. It is also recommended to book tours and activities in advance, especially during peak season, to avoid disappointment. Try the local cuisine, such as seafood dishes and traditional Filipino delicacies, for an authentic dining experience. Respect the local culture and customs, and always ask for permission before taking photos of people. Lastly, be mindful of your waste and dispose of trash properly to help preserve the natural beauty of Puerto Princesa.
