    everything was picture perfect, regardless of the angle your camera points at. been here quite a few times in a span of 20 years. but this particular trip was special because i was travelling with my family. my dream to bring us all together in this so called last frontier finally came true.

    the most unpleasant part of the whole journey was the waiting. we got there a little after 9 in the morning but we were given the clearance to ride our rented boat at almost 11. something needs to be done to prevent tourists from flaring up.

    but i could say it was really worth all the trouble. once you get there, you'll realize how lucky you are to have seen nature's best secrets despite the long wait.

    my son, who has yet to develop his appreciation for communing with nature, blurted out after leaving the cave: "mom, let's go back again!"

    palawan will always be my go-to place for a much needed relaxation.

    Beautiful lake and clear water. It's a nice spot to swim around and take photos but thought it was just okay. It's quite busy so if you don't like crowds, I would skip it.

    A secluded Beach far from the Hustle and Bustle of White Sand Beach. Located on The Island of Boracay at the farthest end from the "Mainland".
    Puka Beach is not that far at all. The Day we went it was out own Private Beach, and we Loved it.

    If you’re thinking of trekking through the rice terraces of Banaue/ Batad we can really recommend our lovely guide Jercy Cabbigat! He was super nice and taught us a lot about their culture, which we really appreciated. We did a 3D2N trek with him where he showed us all the incredible views! Our safety and happiness were always his priorities. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!!

    Fort itself is more of a ruin that an active fort, worth a look around and only 75 peso entry.

    Some areas are ok to see and you can get a good feel how fort would have worked, surrounding walls in good shape and good to see.

    Dungeon area very well preserved and explained with the horrors that occurred in there, also on day I visited lots of school groups so good that local students explore history of country.

    In all good to see and do, you can visit in under an hour.

    Absolutely stunning. Water was cold and refreshing. The surrounds are stunning. Just know you can’t go to level 2 or 3 unless you cannoneer. But worth the trip either way!
