Hi! We are in Port Barton. Things changed a lot after covid and the typhoon in dec 2021. - Whitebeach is permanently closed - Motorbike is 500 for 8 hours - All island snorkling tours are 1500 peso incl. fee - The restaurant vegehouse and Stellbucks are permanently closed. - Olive's restaurant still exist but is called Flavoroso now.
Huge thanks again to everyone who's helped us get closer to 15k subscribers! Few more Philippines videos up next then the adventure continues in Vietnam!
Are there any LONG TERM RENTALS AVAILABLE? I have friends and extended family in Puerto Princesa not far from Roxas but I am looking to rent long term when I arrive in June or July depending on COVID Pandemic travel restrictions
You two have one of the best and most useful trip guides. Likeable and humble on camera presence, precise and clear communication of info. Thank you very much! Please keep these going, the travelling community needs your guidance. Much success and adventures to you both.
Port Barton has 24 hour electricity as of December 2018. Woohoo! Getting a motorcycle ride from a local to waterfalls or White Beach usually runs 100 pesos per person one way. Island hopping is now 1,200 pesos per person and includes mask, lunch, and island fees. White Beach is 300 pesos for drop off and pick up on a bangka (local boat).
No, they are still working on the road to White Beach. I don’t know about to the waterfalls, because I have not been that way for a while. In town, only only a small portion of the road is done, which is connected to the one going to White Beach. I think work has been slowed down now, because we are in a major drought now. No significant rain for 4-5 months now.
"Remember, you're in a JUNGLE." Gee, other vloggers should watch your no BS guides. I think I've had enough of backpackers going to Palawan and complaining about the lack of WiFi and the "ridiculous prices" - as if everything must be dirt cheap just because it's in a third world country (f*ck the poor locals, and screw the laws of supply and demand!). I love this series. Keep 'em going!
You're the best vloggers out there. You complement each other well, are fun and informative. More than that, you are solid ambassadors to represent the United States and travelers everywhere. Your hard work shows. Keep having fun! I love you guys!
Are there long term rentals available? I wish to stay at least 6 months...I currently live in Angeles Pampanga 90 minutes drive from Manila. I have been to Puerto Princesa before and I lived there 8 months.... unfortunately I did not have a chance to visit Port Barton
Love you guys, the unique narrative and history lessons you guys deliver to the budget conscious people. Please do a No BS Guide to Ecuador where I grew up, then head to Peru and hit up Machu Pichu. I now earn a lot of money and travel on 5 star hotels, but I absolute miss my backpacking days. You guys make me so nostalgic to those days.
Thank you 🙌🏼! They may not seem like it but each video is a lot of work! We could put out one a day but they would be sloppy. We'd rather have quality over quantity 😃
Its funny that Im getting tips from foreigners from my country but honestly this is one of the best travel video guides I've seen out there. Thanks & keep it up!!
Thats good to know.. I went to El Nido just last April all the way from Puerto Princesa. Hope to check out Port Barton one day!!! Hey guys you should check out Bantayan & Malapascua Islands at Northern Cebu!!
Noel Pastor Nice! Definitely wanted to visit more places but we would need a lot more time! We were just saying how we could spend a year in the Philippines and still not see it all...😃
i am so lucky to coincidentally walk into the restaurant listed in ur video on the muddy road side just after get off the van from puerto princess, thanks for bring back all the good memories!!!
I have learned more about traveling to Port Barton from this one video than all the other videos I've watched about it put together. Love your video! ❤️ Couldn't hit that subscribe button fast enough. 😁👍
Very nice, I was in Port Barton for my birthday last March. I got to spend a month in Palawan. I think the small falls are better you can get to them by boat tour. So awesome to be at the beach and 10min later at a waterfall.
Just found your channel. Love your vibe! Awesome energy, music, editing... well-produced video! I look forward to checking out more of your vids soon as I plan my Philippines trip!
I'm from the Philippines and watched almost all of your vlogs. It would have been better if you include if they require passport/license when renting a motorbike. ❤️
Nice informational V-Blog, appreciated the candor good and bad. I have added your suggestion for Sun Screen and Bug Juice cream from 3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent to my shopping cart, thanks !! Enjoy the Philippines, look forward to your next video.
omg i love you both, i love how informative these videos are and straight to the point, no "gold plating" if you get what i mean. thank you so much and cheers!!!!!!!
Thanks Guys - love the video's been super helpful for planning our trip - you're great on camera and the info is bang on! Enjoy your onward adventures!
thanks for all the usefull informations.The video is strcutured very well.keep up the good work!Greetings from a romanian living in France that travels the word !
Great info again, I love you! I am gonna be there only for one full day, not sure if I can fit a boat tour in and the waterfall and white beach but will try.
Please make a video about packing! Especially from Jen! I’m going to Spain in November and I’m struggling to pick a rain coat and shoes! I’d love recommendations please!
Great suggestion Maricela! We're going to roll out a packing video for SE Asia soon. We'll have to drop the Europe one when we get back to the US and can show examples of what to pack!
Thanks for the great info. BTW please use and tell people to use coral safe sunscreen to help preserve the beauty of these places. I know they sell the regular stuff there but you'll be killing the corals...😥
Hey :) I was at the second waterfall there (i think). Going there is a a must see. I found a random local who guided us there for 300 pesos. It is like 2,5 h walk through the jungle one way which, itself its a great adventure and amazing views. Waterfall itself is a really wild place, not much touched by the tourism. The additonal attraction is while it is already dark during your way back. Night in the jungle. Highly recommended :) BTW - fantastic guides you make. Keep it on.
We just spoke to Jhenny and she told us! That's great for all the business owners down there! Wonder how long it's going to take to get all the roads paved...?
Wow! This review is Legit! Travelled to Palawan (Puerto Princesa & El Nido) in Rainy Season and it rained for four days straight and boats weren't allowed to get off the port by the Coast Guard. We were lucky that on our 5th day the skies were clear and was able to do island hopping. Will be back in the dry season next year May 2021 hoping COVID is not a major issue anymore. Quick question...I'm doing Coron and another spot. Which do you recommend? Araceli or Port Barton?
Thanks for this, really informative! I'm currently in Port Barton now and yes Wifi is still flimsy but a data from local SIM is good 😊 I've seen 2 ATM machines now but not sure if they're working and how much they charge for withdrawing money hehe
If you could do one for Phuket/phi phi that would be awesome. I’ve watched all your videos and if there’s any random tips you have to share that would be awesome!!!!
Rachel Matteson Thanks Rachael! Phuket will be tough bc our hard drive with all of our footage crashed on us last year. We may head back to Phi Phi this year to check on Maya Bay. If we do go back we'll definitely make one!
Jerry Gallaron Welcome Jerry! Thanks for the view and support 💪🏼! Glad you like the videos 😃 Have some amazing places and interesting experiences to share soon...
I had a friend who did not like the experience. Port Barton has more of a laid back, stripped down luxury, back packer vibe. If you have been to the best of Palawan and that is more of your liking, you may not like Port barton. She said that in general the food was not good.
We didn't bring any. The boat tours will include masks & snorkels (not fins). Scuba tours will include fins. Outside of the tours we didn't see any specifically for rent but we're sure you can find them with some of the boat captains/hotels and negotiate a rate.

Thank you 🙏🏼! We've been busy filming a lot and working on new No BS guides! Expect a LOT to come...😃
Port Barton has 24 hour electricity as of December 2018. Woohoo!

Has the road upgrade been completed?
No, they are still working on the road to White Beach. I don’t know about to the waterfalls, because I have not been that way for a while.

How are the tours compared to El Nido or Coron?
Love it! Very well made! Thumbs up for my favorite place in the world 😁😁
Travel Gretl 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Figured you'd dig it. Any special spots you want to share??
Travel Gretl always watching your VLOGS :-) ♥♥♥

I love this series. Keep 'em going!
😂 Just keeping it real! A lot of vloggers depend on strong wifi so we get where they are coming from. No room for complaints though...
You're the best vloggers out there. You complement each other well, are fun and informative. More than that, you are solid ambassadors to represent the United States and travelers everywhere. Your hard work shows. Keep having fun! I love you guys!
You guys are awesome! Thank you for this! Going to the Philippines next June after being gone for 13 years and your videos are helping me plan!

Interesting and inviting places to explore. thank you for the tips and guidance. Keep safe and stay healthy.
I am from Port Barton. Please visit again Palawan again. We might see you there someday. God bless.

Awesome! Didn't know you could get there by boat. It seemed like a really long motorbike ride for a smaller fall so we passed. Next time...😃

Int Affair We will go to Port Barton in May 2019 for our honeymoon! Looking forward to it, even more after seen your movie!
For your information. Right now electricity is 24hrs in Port Barton 👌
We just spoke to Jhenny and she told us! That's great for all the business owners down there! Wonder how long it's going to take to get all the roads paved...?
They are getting close to finishing it to the new airport. The place it going to become just another tourist beach front in the next few years.

Plz show more hidden places in Palawan...
Son Ricky Coming up this Sunday!!! 😃
What would the weather be like usuallu in mid June in Palawan?
If you could do one for Phuket/phi phi that would be awesome. I’ve watched all your videos and if there’s any random tips you have to share that would be awesome!!!!
Rachel Matteson Thanks Rachael! Phuket will be tough bc our hard drive with all of our footage crashed on us last year.
We may head back to Phi Phi this year to check on Maya Bay.
If we do go back we'll definitely make one!
Oh no! I’m going late November/December and your videos helped so much!
Woe, no spoofs in the end 😁
Not for the No Bullshit guides. Trying to keep it straight to the point...🙃
Hi new sub here love all ur videos very clean and crispy clear.
Jerry Gallaron Welcome Jerry! Thanks for the view and support 💪🏼! Glad you like the videos 😃 Have some amazing places and interesting experiences to share soon...
Just subscribed for cutting the Bull shit , I traveled 5 continents and always on Fuck it Mode thanks for the video !
I had a friend who did not like the experience. Port Barton has more of a laid back, stripped down luxury, back packer vibe. If you have been to the best of Palawan and that is more of your liking, you may not like Port barton. She said that in general the food was not good.
nice!!
New sub from Seattle
🙌🏼 Thanks Kenneth! Many more videos to come!
Don't they discourage sunscreen to protect the reefs ?
They do! We pack a reef safe, biodegradable one for those days. We'll be sure to cover it in another guide! 💯
Make a guide for Balabac!
We'll have to head there the next time we're in the country! Missed so many amazing places!!
I plan to come here in January. Would 2 days here and 3 days in El nido be worth it? How comparable are the water tours?
Did you guys bring day gear, like snorkeling masks and fins or is it available for rent, buy?
We didn't bring any. The boat tours will include masks & snorkels (not fins). Scuba tours will include fins. Outside of the tours we didn't see any specifically for rent but we're sure you can find them with some of the boat captains/hotels and negotiate a rate.
Is it hard to ride their motorbikes?
It's not hard to ride them, the roads are the main concern. Just take things slow 😃
Do you plan on visiting other Islands too
We would have loved to but we only had enough time to do Palawan. Still didn't even make it to Southern Palawan 😔. We will have to go back for sure!
