Travel from port to your first stop, Butterfly Garden and Tribal Village. This ecological garden promotes environmental awareness by means of showcasing butterflies, other insects and some other endemic and endangered species.
The tribal village aims to give the guests a cultural background of the indigenous people called "Pal'awan". You will get to know the indigenous group by seeing their own musical instruments, hunting tools, etc.
Next stop is the Sta Monica View Point which is located uphill of Sta. Monica, and also known as Mitra’s Ranch. The ranch has a great view of Palawan.
Next, travel to Palawan Heritage Center. This museum showcases the life, rich culture and history of the proud Palawenos who considered Palawan to be their home and haven.
Afterwards, hop on a local vehicle, known as "tricycle", and visit the wet market of the local people living in Puerto Princesa.
Before heading back to the port, Plaza Cuartel is the former site of a Japanese garrison. Today it serves as a memorial park in honor of local heroes and American soldiers who perished inside a tunnel during the World War II.
