the long island of Palawan is home to some of the most compelling limestone karst in the entire country. Coron and El Nido has some of the best karst islands yet Puerto Princesa boasts its own limestone formations and its underground river making it a UNESCO world heritage site.
from Sabang port, one can either trek or take a boat to the drop-off point but either way gives one an experience of its grandeur. on this trip, we took the shortest and the most popular option which is by boat.
a mere 15-minute boat trip brought us to the river boat station located in the same coastline, West of Palawan's island. what is often missed out to be featured is the great view one gets from the boat.
from the boat, we passed by some exotic beach shores surrounded by lush flora and great limestone formations. these beaches alone can be great stopover points after going to the underground river.

wow! kakapunta lang namin dyan last july 10. Ang ganda nga ng view habang nasa boat, pati ung beach nila! Kahit ung roadtrip papunta Sabang, ang ganda ng mga tanawin! maganda talaga ang Palawan, nakakamiss.. :)
Although in pictures it already looked astounding yet I can sense mas maganda pa rin sa personal... hehehehehehe...kakainggit! lolz
pang cinema HD sa ganda ng view at capture!
you're on your way to the St. Paul subterranean river, right? your lovely photos so remind me of it.
i want to go back to sabang and ride that paddle boat again to the underground river. how i miss puerto
more more!
uy, binali kang ratings. Ü
loved the last image :D
that hill is heavily forested, sana will continue to be that way for years to come.
I love virgin beaches, forests and environments, although I must admit, it's a rare encounter here in Pinas, we still must give due value to our forests and beaches, let's learn to preserve Mother Nature.
is that where the coke commercial before was shot? the one with the swimming elephant.
I like the number 2, 4 and 6 photos very much! green na green
yun "old" boss namin may malaking poster dyan sa main road kasama si mayor
=)
I love seeing limestone formations and I am glad to know that PP also boosts a lot of it. Got frustrated kasi when we booked for PP instead of Coron...... I will make these PP posts of yours my bible when I go there this Sept.

glad to be here....thanks for dropping by....:)

i love palawan. we saw a pawikan swimming in its natural habitat while crossing sabang. it was an awesome sight.
i was blown away by these landscape when i visited Palawan. it is truly a place worth exploring. thanks for these photos--you make me wanna come back--pero Coron muna bago bumalik sa Puerto Princesa.:p

Thanks for sharing those lovely photos Dong. Lalo ako na e-excite sa summer escapade namin next year :)
Dreamy and gorgeous. Just love your shots!
Soooooo much ganda...
btw, ano nga palang nangyari sa "Wonders of the World" di ba nominated ang palawan reef?
i love the last photo! napakaganda nga ng puerto princesa! great photos ever!!
Ang ganda ng shot nung nasa puno. Na-miss ko yung pag akyat ko sa mga puno nung bata pa ako. :)
As they say, it's not about the destination. It's all about the journey ;-)
