Ugong Rock Adventures

On our way back to Puerto Prinsesa, we passed by Ugong Rock and our tour guide asked us if we want to check this out. At first, we don't know what's in store for us, and so our tour guide showed us a video clip on what to expect in the place and everyone in the van agreed to go. 

I have never done anything like this and so I was excited and didn't hesitate to try. Our tour guide informed us that the word “ugong” stands for the reverberating sound produced inside of Ugong Rock when hit or pounded with the knuckles or the hand. It was like a metal sound produced by a stone. 

We had a chance to do zip line going down but we decided not to as I have already tried a lot of zip lines and I kindly fed up with the experience.

Rates of Ugong Rock Adventure:

Ugong Rock Caving – 200 Pesos/person
Zipline (Sitting Position) – 250 Pesos/person (optional)
Zipline (Superman Position) – 350 Pesos/person (optional)

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.
