The stops are very scenic but tend to be crowded even with the regulations on the number of passes that are handed out each day. to access some of the sits you have to walk over submerged rocks that are very slippery. While it will be difficult to avoid all of the scrapes good water shoes will help to reduce them.

Our trip started with a cancellation and then a no show which added to the journey time. Once out of Cebu City the roads are terrible so it was a very uncomfortable 2 hours. We arrived to chaos and frankly given how crowded you are on the boat as well in the water, it is simply not worth it. Too many people in the water vying for their video or picture. The Whale Sharks were delightful but only for a half hour. The waterfall was the same, crowded and uninspiring. The trip back took 5 hours as traffic was awful. I don't recommend this at all. I know people have to make money and they are all very nice but it simply isn't worth it.

The driver/guide should have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the places visited. As it was billed as a "City Tour" some information about Purto Princesa would have been nice. To be periodically informed of ones location during the tour would have also been helpful. Other than the Cathedral and the US Marines Massacre Site all other places were for private enterprises such as horse riding/ zipline ride, bakery etc. I accept Palawan is developing its Tourist Industry but needs to do better than the take it or leave it attitude one meets as standard here.

We were picked up at the airport timely, but then taken to the main office and had to wait another half hour for a different vehicle to become available. Ride is long, windy, and road is not good, but driver did his best to get us there as fast as possible.
