Davao City: Crocodile Farm, Up Close and Personal with the Crocs

Another second time for me, part of my family's Davao tour.  This time, I think I'll provide more details for those who are also planning to visit the place.

Davao Crocodile Park is a conservation area Crocodiles and various exotic animals such as birds, snakes, tigers, ostrich and reptile. A place of fun and learning. Located not too far from the city center in Diversion Road, Maa, Davai City.

\

How to get there:
> From the City Center, you can take a Jeepney bound to Buhangin (Php7) and tell the driver to drop you in the corner of the Diversion Road where the Habal-Habal (motorcycle for hire) are located. From there, take a habal-habal that will bring you directly to the park (Php20 - Php40).

There are rules to be followed while inside the park:

Do not lift/rest children over the railings.
Do not poke/stick the fingers inside the cages.
Do not feed the animals
Do not throw objects inside cages, that might hurt the animals.
Do not provoke, shout, and tease the animals.
Persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be refused admission.
No littering, look for the garbage bins or containers for trash.
No Smoking
Firearms and other sharp objects are not allowed inside the park.

While in the park, you may also want to try feeding the crocodiles, ostrich and fishes. Such a fun experience. There is also a snake massage to relax those muscle aches.

Trippin' Around the City

We were suppose to arrive in Puerto Princesa late in the afternoon and so when I received an email informing me that flight schedule has been changed and we can choose to reschedule the flight, I excitedly took advantage and changed our flight to morning. Right when we got to Puerto Princesa, we just dropped our bags and rent a tricycle for php500 to look around the city.

Our First stop, Immaculate Conception Cathedral.

Across the church is the historical Plaza Cuartel.

Warm hello from the bay walk.

Might be a bit far but we reached it. Met crokies and other animals in Palawan Rescue and Wildlife Centre (also known as the Crocodile Farm)

First time to see mating butterflies here in Butterfly garden.

Also met our tribal friends.

Followed by a short stop at Mitra's Ranch

Tried the Baker's Hill famous Hopia.

and experience weaving in Binuatan Weaving Village.
