Mount Magarwak

This trek in Mount Magarwak is a great choice if you're looking for something else to do in Puerto Princesa aside from visiting the beautiful beaches. Though it may be more suited for beginners, advanced mountain climbers will still want to give this a try just to see the view from the top of the mountain. Trek to 350 meters above sea level to see one of the most beautiful sunrises in Palawan - few things can rival the serenity of watching the sunrise as the birds sing to greet the new morning, and this is exactly what awaits you in this tour. It will take you about an hour or so to reach the highest point of the mountain, but the guide will make it seem like it took no time at all! The peak shows you Palawan from a new perspective: sites such as Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa Bay, and Puerto Princesa City can be seen from this point. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you will be given a cup of locally brewed coffee and hot pan de sal ("salt bread") Pick up and Drop off within the town center is available.

The day begins with pickup from your hotel in Puerto Princesa between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM, then heads towards the base of Mt. Magarwak where adventure awaits. Arrive at the base, which is just on the outskirts of the city, and listen to a safety briefing about the trek. Once you’re ready, begin the ascent towards the summit, following your guide along the 300-meter mountain trail. As you trek through the mountain landscape, see native flora and fauna along the trail which is surrounded by luscious jungle. After around an hour of trekking, arrive at the summit and enjoy a well-deserved rest while your guide prepares a light breakfast. As you wait for the sun to rise, enjoy your breakfast accompanied by tea and coffee. From the summit, marvel at the transformation of the sky as it is illuminated with light and color when the sun rises. Soak up spectacular views across Honda Bay and watch the water glisten and glow in the sunlight. At the end of an unforgettable experience, begin the descent down the mountain at around 7:30 AM. Back at the base, hop in the van for the return trip to your hotel, or if you selected the optional add-ons visit Nagtabon Beach for a refreshing swim, or relax and unwind in a nearby hot spring.
