Puerto Princesa Heritage City Tour: Culture, Cuisine & Mitra's Ranch

Discover the soul of Palawan's capital through its Spanish-era cathedral, living heritage markets, panoramic Mitra's Ranch viewpoint, and a private tasting of Palawan's freshest seafood. A bespoke half-day that reveals the city's beauty far beyond the port gates.

What to expect

Your air-conditioned private vehicle and knowledgeable local guide collect you at the pier and begin at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, whose Spanish colonial facade frames the city's history perfectly. The Palawan Public Market overflows with dried mango, cashews, and the freshest tuna sashimi you'll find anywhere in the Philippines. Mitra's Ranch, a working farm-turned-viewpoint on the city outskirts, rewards with sweeping 360° vistas over Honda Bay and the Sulu Sea. The tour closes with a private lunch at a top local restaurant featuring fresh Palawan seafood. Total: approximately 4–5 hours.
