Palawan New Years 2013: Day 2 - Honda Bay Tour ~ Part 1

Our second day on Palawan we took an island hopping boat tour of the near-by Honda Bay. This was super fun! If you're staying in Puerto Princesa, I highly recommend it.

Palawan New Years 2013: Day 1 - Puerto Princesa City Tour

After our lunch in the mangroves, we got picked up for a tour of the city.

Palawan New Years 2013: Day 1 - Badjao Seafront

Our NGO is closed for two weeks over Christmas and New Years. We weren't sure if we would have company over that time or not. It turns out that we didn't so we decided to go to Palawan!

Cebu Pacific has a daily direct flight from Davao City to Puerto Princesa for a very reasonable price. There was even a promo! We got in just after 10am and once we checked into our hotel, we headed out for an early lunch.
