I did this tour with a tour guide leading me along the way.

I did this tour with a tour guide leading me along the way. At first I was hesitant because I was doing this alone and there aren’t too many reviews on this tour, if any, but I’m so glad I trusted my gut and went because I got to experience the lives of the indigenous Filipinos for the day. The tribe was so friendly and welcoming, the motor bike ride to get to the village was a jaw dropping scenery, they welcomed me by performing a few dances allowing me to join it, they let me explore their village and homes, and they answered any questions that I had. I think this is a hidden gem tour that almost everyone I spoke to in Puerto Princesa knew nothing about. This is an amazing and unique cultural experience that I’ve never had before and I embraced it with an open mind and open heart. If you go I recommend bringing things to give to them such as snacks, candy, donations, anything, they really appreciated it. Also, bring water shoes, you’ll be walking across a few lakes. One thing I wished the tour guide would have done was to go deeper into the history of who the Batak tribe is so that I could learn historical facts about them.ALBERTE_K
