"Our Last Stop: Pandan Island" Puerto Princesa City Things to Do Tip by cyndymc

About 10-15 minutes from Snake Island is Pandan Island. It is called such because of the presence of giant pandan plants all around the island. Compared to Snake Island, it is more developed, with more modern cottages, landscaped gardens and more modern facilities.

Pandan Island's surroundings are known to be great sites for snorkeling and diving. However, it was so hot at the beach so I didn't bother to snorkel. I just strolled a bit, then just stayed at our picnic table, rested and chatted with other tourists.

When we left Pandan Island, the waters were already beginning to get rough. I noticed that many boats were on their way back to the wharf. As I watched the horizon, I screamed with excitement when I saw dolphins jumping. Most of my companions were taking a nap so they were shocked with my screaming. I got embarrassed, but eagerly told them what I saw. Everybody then looked towards the direction where I saw dolphins, but no dolphin appeared. I felt so happy and lucky that I was the only one who saw 2 or 3 dolphins jumping above water. Just to think that I wanted to have a dolphin watching tour, but the resort couldn't gather enough numbers for it. Lucky me!
