Quiet, Friendly, Relaxing, Few Tourists
Con
too good you won't want to leave
In a nutshell
Unspoilt condition of beaches, corals, marine life worth the extra costs
Just relax and have fun at Coconut Garden Resort
janbonivic Says: Though swimming and snorkeling are allowed, we didn't see much great fishes and corals within the area so we instead relaxed and just chilled out for about 1.5 hours when we stayed there.You could even just borrow and read a good book while relaxing in a...
Check out the turtle sanctuary at Blue Cove Resort
janbonivic Says: Swimming wasn't advisable in the area when we went there because jellyfishes were just everywhere! So instead, we just checked out where they take care of baby sea turtles and just hang out at the beach with my son while my friends had their time spent at the bar/restaurant...
Island Hopping with Snorkeling!
janbonivic Says: Must see islands/resorts during island hopping:- Coconut Garden Island Resort at Cacnipa Island- Blue Cove Island Resort- German Island- Exotic IslandSnorkeling sites:- Aquarium- Twin Reef
sugarpuff Says: It was Charles' birthday so we decided to do something different, having already been island hopping, trekking through the jungle to find a waterfall and sunbathing, we thought we would go on a Mangrove trip! We were up early, although the boatman clearly hadn't set his...
Find THE waterfall! (Pamuayan Waterfall)
sugarpuff Says: We were told it would be easy to find, that there were signposts along the way, "don't worry", they said, "lots of signposts!"...and yet, from the word go, we saw absolutely none! Did we go the wrong way? Most certainly! Were there many different paths to take? Absolutely!...
sugarpuff Says: You don't come to Port Barton just to lie on the beach! You could do that anywhere! You come here to relax and take boat trips out to various islands nearby to enjoy the crystal clear waters they have to offer! Port Barton beach itself although quite nice is nothing very...
Jambalaya Cajun Cafe: Jambalaya - Simply beyond expectations
Islandhoppingmad Says: The food and service at the Jambalaya Cajun Cafe in Port Barton was not bad.It was not good. We thought it was GREAT! We thought it well worthy of a mention because it was one of the best restaurants we visited in our entire Philippines Trip. Yvonne and I had been travelling...
Ayette's Bamboo House Restaurant: Local Resto!
janbonivic Says: We had our breakfast here and they did prepare our food for lunch during our island hopping.Owners are very friendly are are always ready to help each of their guests.Their added service:I saw some foreign tourists renting masks and snorkels at the counter too...
sugarpuff Says: We came across this place while walking in the rain and it looked like a good place to stop and eat and keep dry! Their menu was up on the wall and looked very colourful. The prices seemed very good too, so we had no trouble in ordering food that sounded yummy! The waiter...
El Dorado Sunset Gardens: Not Local enough!
sugarpuff Says: Situated at the northern end of the beach next to Greenviews, it seemed to be the only bar in Port Barton. Yes, the restaurants served drinks as well, but El Dorado make a point of advertising themselves as the Sunset Bar and having the coldest beers in the area. We didn’t...
royjen12 Says: I am surprised that it is not mentioned, that most visitors in Port Barton come by way of boat from Sabang. Port Barton is an excellent stop-over point between Sabang and El Nido. Charter boats in Sabang make an almost daily voyage during the tourist season, and when ever...
Getting to Port Barton from Puerto Princesa
sugarpuff Says: Travelling to Port Barton can be easy and tricky!We went by local bus which was headed for El Nido but they dropped us off at the intersection of San Jose where we then had to wait an hour or so for a jeepney that would take us the rest of the way to Port Barton as the road...
Airport and small shops: SMART SIM card
sugarpuff Says: Before you get to Port Barton I suggest you buy a SMART SIM card as this will help you with phone calls to accommodation places and in general it's nice to have a phone that works at hand! When my credit ran out in Port Barton, I went to Ayette's Bamboo Restaurant and they...
If someone befriends you, go with the flow!
sugarpuff Says: I had heard before I left to go to The Philippines, that the Filipinos were one of the friendliest people you would find in Asia. I always thought that the Thais were pretty friendly, but you know what, Filipinos really are incredibly hospitable! The concept of 'shame' is...
Getting to Port Barton from San Vicente
sugarpuff Says: We left El Nido at 530am headed for San Vicente where we would then take a boat to Port Barton. We had already taken a jeepney from the San Jose intersection so we thought we would take a different route this time. We had been told it would be 4 hours from El Nido to Itabiak...
Mini van to Port Barton from Puerto Princesa
sugarpuff Says: There are some mini vans who will tell you that you have already missed the bus to Port Barton and that you need to take their van to Roxas / San Jose / San Vicente (wherever they choose that day!) and then catch the jeepney from there. At first I was a little confused with...
Pack little, buy when you're there!
sugarpuff Says: One bag per person...no more! Weight of our bags was about 12 kilos each and a bit more coming back. If you take a flight from El Nido to Manila you are only allowed 10k per person, so pack accordingly! Getting on and off jeepneys and boats all the time, you'll be glad you...
JaneCajuguiran Says: Shorts and shirts are musts. a pair of rubber slippers which can provide your feet protection. It's good to have a snorkel or diving gear too although these can be rented from the pension houses. Fins are necessary especially because some rocks are sharp. a wide brimmed hat...
lotharscheer Says: It's a very nice walk, about 3,5 km throu jungle and ricefields.Start from the beach after the last resort (Greenview Resort), soon there is a crossing, Walk straight up a steep hill past a cimetery and down, ricefields on you left, the a fork, thake the way right witch goes...
lotharscheer Says: There is some good diving and snorkeling. Doris (german, english, french) from Easy Dive is there since 12 years, a bit disorganiced but knows the area quite well.2 dives 2500 Pesos, you can also join for snorkeling 250 Pesos. There is a second diveshop at the other end of...

You will sweat when you go to these falls, because it involves one hour of serious "bushwacking" to get there. Or maybe I took the wrong road. Anyway, you will...
