Travel Puerto Princesa Itinerary:2 days Must-do list in Puerto Princesa

Day 1 | Morning

Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park

Ticket Price: Free

Recommended Length of Stay: 2.0-3.0 Hours

Location: Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park, Puerto Princesa, MIMAROPA, Philippines

The Baywalk in Puerto Princesa is not far from the city center, but it is actually a "seaside avenue" by the bay. The sea here is quiet, and after 5 pm, it will become a leisure place for local residents, full of atmosphere. Recommend everyone to come here to enjoy the tranquility before sunset.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Sweet Jojo: Although most of the best things to do in Puerto Princesa are outside the main city, one of the best things to do at night is visiting the City Baywalk. This is by far the best thing to do in Puerto Princesa at night after visiting the other attractions during the day. There is nothing better than an evening stroll down the Puerto Princesa Baywalk. It stretches 2km (1.25 miles) along the waterfront between the Puerto Princesa Cultural Center and the U.S. Embassy. There is plenty to see and do at the Baywalk, with vendors and restaurants lining the paths, which makes this a really fun night out. The area is well lit up and is safe for tourist, perfect for taking a stroll along the open seaside. It’s a great place just to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere, there are bikes to rent and you will see the local kids having the time of their lives riding up and down. There is plenty of sitting areas and benches that you can sit down and absorb it all in. The Puerto Princesa City Baywalk opens at 1 pm to 11:00 pm daily. I would recommend visiting around 5 pm so you can get there as it turns from day into night. At night is when the Baywalk comes alive, there are vendors selling snacks and plenty of restaurants to choose from.

@sweetaehr: It is a park where you can eat food, rent a bike, or simply walk in these place. There are different food and sea foods. Very affordable and pick on your choice. There were also souvenirs and henna tattoo around this corner. Crowded at night. But nice to come by, friendly people.

Day 1 | Afternoon

Now we come to another great highlight in the city: Immaculate Conception Church.

Immaculate Conception Church

Opening Hours: Open 24 hours

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-1 Hours

Location: 58 Rizal Avenue, Puerto Princesa, 5300 Palawan

The Holy Spirit's Conception Cathedral is a very famous "Blue Cathedral" in Puerto Princesa, which can be reached by walking westward along Rizal Street. The church was built in 1872. The main building is light blue. It is a very beautiful blue building. The sunlight through the blue glass makes the church a blue world. There are many statues of Filipino celebrities in front of the church, and many local residents will come to the square in front for recreation. The glass in the church is transparent and very bright. Although it is not so luxurious and complicated, it has another fresh taste.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Sweet Jojo: This cathedral in the heart of Puerto Princesa is located right next to the Plaza Cuartel. They hold mass in both English and Filipino multiple times a day and is decorated with impressive wooden arches and paintings of the 12 apostles on the roof.

JWTT: Immaculate Conception Church is my comforting zone especially when I am a student. I always went here to released my burdens and struggles to our assignments, activities and other school works. Soon I'll gonna go back here.

Sweet Jojo: The place never failed to amaze. It’s the same beach just like I remember when we were kids. The entrance fee is affordable. If you’re a solo traveller you can still go here. There’s a lot of place where you can place your stuff.

Day 2 | Afternoon

When time permits after visiting Pristine Beach, don’t forget pay a visit to Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Crocodile Farm).

Trip.com User: trip.com allowed me to have a very convenient way on booking my flight from Manila to Palawan, that way I am able to enjoy my flight and experienced the beautiful Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation I really enjoyed the picture taking where I can have a selfie with the crocs, selfie while holding the younger crocodile than me.

Abby G.: I enjoyed this trip because there is a tour guide who explained the species of animals that we can see in this place. I loved how it is maintained. The guide also discussed carefully the do's and dont's inside the area.
