Puerto Princesa Palawan is indeed a gifted place. I couldn’t agree more with the usual saying people are boasting there- “a city in a forest”. While Puerto Princesa is already a city, they still maintain, conserve and protect their natural resources. But it doesn’t mean that you cannot witness what nature has to offer in this enchanted place. They have tourist spots of almost all kinds, white sand beaches and deep blue waters, Underground River, Ugong Rock Formation, outdoor activities like zipline and rock climbing, firefly watching and many more.
Iwahig Firefly Watching
This is the first activity that we did the day we arrived in PPS. You cannot simply find fireflies these days because it is only present in a healthy environment. If you want to see one or hundreds, it almost seems like a Christmas tree- then this place is for you as you will be amazed by hundreds of fireflies, enfolding each mangrove trees. You can also enjoy stargazing as you swiftly cruise in the river and taking pleasure in the serenity and calmness of the night.
1500Php- Van rental from PPS City Proper to Iwahig
200Php- Registration for the Firefly watching

| Sorry for the photos, due to the darkness of the surroundings that night even dslr’s camera can’t take decent photo of the fireflies. These shots however were taken using my digicam. But trust me, my friend who was with me didn’t bother to take photos as the result would be disappointing. |
