Puerto Princesa Dolphin watching!

It has been a long time since I posted anything in my blog, I was just waiting for a right topic to talk about. If you are a nature lover and want to see a lot of dolphins swimming around and jumping and do some somersault right before your eyes. Then the place to got to is in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

More pictures and about dolphin watching below!

If you got the time you can go early in the morning to the Puerto Princesa Bay Walk where the tour boat usually park their boat. It is better to book a day before since they can only accommodate a minimum of 8 passengers and a maximumof 10 per tour. Usually the boat leaves at aroun 7:30 in the morning, so be there earlier so that you can get the best seat in front.

The tour will last until 12 noon and be ready to be surprised. The boat will take youout o sea for an hour or more before you will be able to see any dolphins. The tour guide is always calling some of the fisherman in the area to ask them which part they are and if there are any dolphins on their area. The dolphins are usually be seen ehere the fishermen are fishing. The dolphin watching experience vary from day to day as the guide told us and also depends on the dolphins themselves, if they are very showy on that day then you can see a lot of them showing off. Jumpin, somersaulting and swimming aroun in droves.

It was really a very nice experience, we also bought that fish shown above for only Php200.00 and have it grilled on the boat and that was our lunch on board. The fish taste reall good and fresh of the sea.
