Local knowledge for Puerto Princesa

Where to stay

Budget travelers stay along Rizal Avenue in the city center, where tour operators, restaurants, and tricycle routes are all walkable and vans to Sabang or El Nido are easy to catch. A few guesthouses also sit closer to the bay near the city pier, which is quieter at night but adds a short tricycle ride to most errands.

Getting around

  • The Underground River requires a timed permit, and slots run out weeks ahead during peak months. Sort the permit before you arrive rather than counting on a walk-in slot at Sabang wharf.
  • Tricycles are the standard in-town transport and cost a fraction of what tour packages charge for the same short distance. Settle on the fare before you get in, as there is no meter.
  • Vans to El Nido depart from the San Jose Terminal in the city center, not the airport. Comparing prices there directly is usually cheaper than booking the same seat through a city-center tour desk, which adds a commission.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest from June through September when the rainy season keeps visitor numbers low, and fill up fastest from late December through February and again during Holy Week in March or April.
