Taxis are readily available just outside the arrivals terminal. You can find both standard metered city taxis (white) and airport-accredited taxis (yellow). Fares to the city center are regulated and relatively inexpensive. It is always best to confirm the fare or ensure the meter is used before your trip begins. Ride-hailing apps like Grab are also an option.
Several local and international car rental agencies have counters located within the arrivals hall of the airport. A range of vehicles is available, from small sedans to larger vans. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. A valid driver's license is required, and an International Driving Permit is advised for foreign visitors.
The main form of local public transport is the tricycle (a motorcycle with a sidecar). You can find them waiting just outside the main airport gate, a short walk from the terminal building. They are a convenient and affordable option for reaching hotels and destinations within the city proper, typically fitting 2-3 passengers with light luggage. For a cheaper but less direct option, you can walk to the main highway (Rizal Avenue) to catch a multicab or jeepney.
The whole trip was awesome. But when we bought something (food) at the airport before checking in, we decided na hand carry na lang sana yung pasalubong. Nung nagtingin kami sa display na paninda the exp. Date is on Dec.15 (we’re there dec.12) but yung sinupot nyang pasalubong the exp.date Dec.11. Haaays nasayang yung ilang pasalubong. (We bought dun sa guy na nagtitinda) It’s better if check nyo mabuti kahit nakaplastic na.
Angelito Abique - Palawan Airport Tourist Police Officer should be highly commended for his excellent service and support. I had purchased a Philipino Askrima weapon and was not able to carry onboard. The tourist Police Officer at the Palawan airport, Angelito Abique offered to post the stick to an address in Manila where I could retrieve it before boarding my flight home to Australia.
This wonderful man posted the stick the same day as promised and even sent the tracking number so we could be sure.
Thankyou so much for the excellent service and support. I have found all the Filipinos to be very helpful and polite. A great country and a great people.
I visited in June 2017 and i will certainly return.

Now double the size but still small :-)
Very fast luggage claim.
Nice welcome with local hymn: "Puertooo-Princesaaaa!"
Good and close hotels to airport: Moana, Blue Lagoon, Badjao, Floral Villarosa
Good resort on Puerto - Honda Bay: Jungle Beach Resort
It's funny how the Philippine government don't realize the impact of a good airport in attracting more foreigners. Regardless of the tourist spots we have, if the impression is always bad when they were welcomed at the airport, we can never go far. Found an infographic at philippineairportmemes.tumblr.com on why Philippine airports suck. Very interesting read.
Saang airport po yong mlapit as tourist spots as Palawan?
Nice travel destination for those that like ocean resorts and love to scuba dive.
