Puerto Princesa Airport luggage storage

All about Puerto Princesa Airport

When it comes to bucket-list travel destinations, the Philippines’ top offering is in Puerto Princesa. Situated on the island of Palawan, the dense jungles and Saint Paul Mountains surrounding Puerto Princesa provide an exhilarating setting for hiking and kayaking, especially the network of caves known as the ‘Subterranean River.’ While it runs slightly under the radar for most international travelers, the Puerto Princesa Underground River has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the “Seven Wonders of Nature.”

Puerto Princesa International Airport primarily handles domestic flights from Manila and Cebu with airlines like Sunlight Air, PAL Express, and AirSWIFT, but there are select international routes serving other Asian markets. It’s located right outside the city and is easily accessible from major attractions like the Underground River. For travelers looking to start exploring right after landing, secure Bounce luggage storage facilities can handle the suitcases. 

How to get from Puerto Princesa Airport to the city

The airport is situated in Barangay San Miguel on Rizal Avenue, which is the main district of Puerto Princesa and is easy to get to from the rest of the city. The city has highly limited infrastructure, so don’t plan around relying on public transportation. Still, it’s remarkably easy and affordable to get around Puerto Princesa quickly using tricycles, Jeepneys (informal and charming Jeeps operating as cabs), and traditional taxis.

You can arrange an airport shuttle with your accommodations or hail a ride at the main terminal outside the arrival or departure area. There are also car rental agencies, but you might not need your own set of wheels considering how affordable Jeepneys are. Certain hotels will also offer a shuttle to pick you up after your flight, but this isn't always an option.

Points of interest

• Puerto Princesa Underground River: The city’s main draw is primarily reached by car, Jeepneys, or private transfers. There are also tours that can be arranged through your accommodations. You can get here in as little as 10 minutes. 
• Nagtabon Beach: This pristine beachfront provides a luxurious lounging setting with even better swimming conditions through crystal-clear waters. A quick Jeepney or bus ride will get you here within 40 minutes. We can store your bags while you hit the beach to ensure everything is safe and dry.
• Baywalk Park: The city’s waterfront, though popular, is more relaxed than you’d expect. This is a good thing, and you’ll be able to experience the ocean breeze within 20 minutes of grabbing your belongings from baggage claim via cab.

Depending on your travel plans, it might make sense to drop the bags off at a Bounce storage facility right after landing at Puerto Princesa Airport.
