💡 Tips
- Rizal is good for experienced divers looking for untouched reefs away from the crowds.
- Prepare for a long journey; the van ride from Puerto Princesa takes about 5 to 6 hours.
- Bring all your essentials with you, as there are only a few very basic shops in the community.
- Visit the nearby beaches during the weekdays to often have them completely to yourself.
- Inquire locally about the Tau't Bato caves, but always respect local restrictions and permits.
🍽 Food

These are often much more affordable here than in Palawan's tourist hubs.
Try seasonal fruits like marang or rambutan sourced from nearby farms.
