It is definitely worthy being of “7 Natural Wonder of the World and UNESCO World Heritage Site” Apart from unique flora and some unique species such as frogs, bats, and birds inside . Its also recently discovered there are waterfall, massive rock and other sea creatures but not yet accessible by boat . 8 km long, but we can only access 1,3 km as you need special permits for further inside❤️ .

Taken here by boat tour A, the views during the Big Lagoon excursion are incredible when seen by kayak. The water has parts where you can walk, and then incredibly deep recesses as well. Making for drastic changes to the color of the water making the tour that much more exciting.

If you like to get away from Puerto Princesa city for a day, you can experience inexpensive local transport to go for a swim, pic-nic and relax in nature at the Olangoan (Olanguan) falls, community-based project located in barangay Binduyan. Take a multicab to the New Market terminal (15min from Old Market) ) and from there a shuttle van (150P/pers) or bus (90P/pers) that takes the North National Highway towards Taytay. The bus will drop you right at the Binduyan waterfalls welcome booth (just before arriving in Binduyan town). You will be assigned a guide (400P/group) and after paying a small entrance fee of 50P/pers, you will hike (~40min) across and along the river. The path was recently maintained with new bridges and steps when going up the hill or across boulders. The hike is very easy and mostly flat. Several pools are inviting you with the best ones at and above the waterfalls! Facilities include solid tables to have lunch and well maintained bathrooms. No trash around, what a great pleasure! If you like noisy crowds of locals, visit on WE and public holidays .. otherwise come during the week! After the easy walk back, wait a few minutes back on the highway to hop on the next bus/shuttle back to PP.

The best beach vacations are those spent to connect with oneself and the significant others - a partner, friend, siblings, children,etc. And such connections can only be realized in the solitude and calmness brought just by the sound of the waves. Only Long Beach in San Vicente provides such a backdrop as compared to its neighboring El Nido or the definitely crowded Boracay. Sleep & be awaken with the murmuring waves and chirping of the birds. Bask in the greenery of your surroundings. Everything at much more value than your normal beach destinations. Lounging in a hammock definitely guaranteed.
