Palawan Swing Ticket in Puerto Princesa

Palawan Swing pairs sweeping views of Puerto Princesa with a string of photo setups, from a sunset swing to a heart-shaped nest. It’s a simple outing built around taking your time: pose for pictures, pause at the view deck, or add the infinity pool if you want more than a quick stop.

I like the mix of photo spots and a place to relax, and the option to add a van transfer can make the trip easier from town. One thing to weigh: the basic ticket does not include pool access or transport, and the venue is outside the city center.

A scenic stop with more than one way to spend the visit

Palawan Swing is a leisure park in Barangay Luzviminda, Puerto Princesa. Its main draw is the combination of elevated views and playful photo stations. You can move between swings, nests and themed displays at your own pace, rather than follow a set tour program.

This is a good fit if you want an easy outing with plenty of time for pictures. It can also work as a relaxed break from sightseeing around Puerto Princesa, especially if you choose the pool option and plan to eat at the café. It is not a nature trek or a guided history visit, so set your expectations accordingly: the appeal is the setting, the views and the chance to slow down.

The venue’s named photo features include front-view and back-view swings, a sunset swing, a flower ring swing, a dream catcher swing, a heart nest, a bird nest, a ring nest, a mesh bed net or spider web, and Wings of Heaven. There is also a view deck, a Stairway to Heaven display, a Love Telephone Station, a Follow Your Dreams Station and a Cat House. The exact experience is less about ticking off a formal route and more about choosing which spots appeal to you.

Take your time at the photo stations

The themed setups are the heart of the visit. They give you different backdrops and poses, so the outing need not become a one-swing, one-photo stop. Some setups are designed for a front or back view, while others use flowers, nests or netting as part of the scene.

Bring a phone or camera with enough battery and storage. The venue is built for taking pictures, and there are many spots to try. Staff have helped visitors take photos, and one visitor specifically noted that staff did not ask for extra payment to do so. That is encouraging, but I would still ask politely if you want a hand and confirm any charges before requesting a service.

The views are another reason to linger. The park’s elevated position is highlighted as a place to look out over Puerto Princesa, and the view deck provides a natural pause between photo stops. If you’re deciding how long to spend, allow time for pictures rather than treating it as a quick entrance-and-exit attraction. The exact visit length is not specified, so your pace will depend on how much you enjoy posing and how busy the site is when you arrive.

The venue also has an infinity pool, but access depends on the ticket you buy. A photo-focused visit can work with the entrance-only option; if swimming is part of your plan, select the pool package rather than assuming pool access comes with entry.

The infinity pool changes the pace

The pool gives the outing a more restful side. Instead of moving from one photo feature to another, you can take a break and cool off. A clean pool was noted by one visitor, and the pool packages are consistently described as part of a relaxed day out. Still, the ticket details matter: the pool is not included in the lowest-priced entrance-only package.

Towels and clothing rental may be available for an extra charge. One visitor reported towel rental at Php 100 and dress rental at Php 100 each. Treat these as useful indications, not guaranteed current prices, and check on arrival if you need either. Hanbok rental is also listed at Php 100.

The pool package costs more than entry alone, but it may be better value if you will actually use the water and stay for a while. If you only want a few photos and the view, paying for pool access may not make sense. Think about the outing you want before choosing, rather than buying the cheapest ticket and hoping to add everything later.

Café Organic and the Cat House add a personal touch

Café Organic Restaurant serves food inside the venue, giving you the option to make this more than a short photo stop. Adobo chicken was singled out as a satisfying meal, and the restaurant is a practical choice if you want to eat without arranging another stop in town. The food menu and current prices are not specified, so check on site before settling in.

You can bring outside food, but a table charge applies: Php 300 for one or two people, Php 600 for three or four, and Php 1,000 for five or more. An extra table costs Php 500. For a couple or small group, compare that charge with ordering at the café before packing a picnic.

The Cat House is another distinctive feature. The owners have cared for around 20 cats on the property, according to information shared by people who have visited, and the animals are part of the venue’s character. One account also mentions five dogs. Animal numbers and availability can change, so think of this as a possible part of the atmosphere, not a guaranteed animal encounter.

The owners are described as a Korean couple, and the staff have been praised for being warm and helpful. A chef named Yushin was thanked for a meal in one account. No formal guide or named photo attendant is specified, so expect a casual venue visit rather than a guided tour.

Choose a ticket that matches your plans

The entrance-only ticket starts at US$6.35. It includes access to Leisure Hill and the photo spots, making it the straightforward choice if you mainly want the views and photo setups.

The entrance ticket with pool access starts at US$9.49. That modest increase may be worthwhile if you expect to swim or relax by the pool. The exact inclusions for each package should be checked at checkout, especially if you are comparing rates.

Packages with pool access and van transfers are also offered. The listed options include pickup at Robinsons Place, with prices shown from US$17.39 to US$20.55, and city proper hotel transfers, shown from US$18.95 to US$22.15. The supplied options show more than one price for each pickup type, so check the selected date and package carefully before paying.

Transfers can be good value if arranging your own ride feels like a hassle, but the price difference is considerable compared with entry alone. One visitor who missed a pickup location reported a frustrating lack of communication. If you book transport, confirm the exact pickup point and any meeting instructions ahead of time. Do not assume that a package name alone tells you where to wait.

The venue is at Palawan Swing, Barangay Luzviminda, Purok Rubber, Puerto Princesa City. You can enter directly with your voucher. For Palaweños seeking the local rate, a mobile voucher and valid ID showing a Palawan address are required. Without that proof, you are not eligible for the discounted rate.

Plan around the hours and the weather

Palawan Swing is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed on Wednesday. The voucher is valid only on the date shown, and the available opening hours mean you should not plan a late-evening visit.

A sunset swing is among the features, but the venue’s listed closing time is 6 p.m. If seeing sunset is important to you, check the season’s sunset time and confirm how the venue handles access near closing. The name of a photo spot alone does not guarantee that you can stay after the stated hours.

Keep the outing simple: arrive with your voucher ready, bring a charged phone, and allow time for pictures and the pool if included. If you want to eat on site or bring your own food, decide that in advance so you can compare the café with the table charge. These small choices can affect the total cost more than the entry ticket itself.

Bookings can be changed up to 24 hours before the activity starts, subject to restrictions. Some bookings cannot be changed, including those made with Klook Pass, under presales, with a freebie, before a voucher is issued, or using SG Culture Pass or Taiwan Culture Points. A full refund is available when you cancel at least 24 hours before the activity date, based on destination local time.

Who will enjoy Palawan Swing most?

I’d put this on your list if you enjoy taking photos, want a relaxed outing, or are looking for a place where a small group can spend time together without a packed schedule. Families may appreciate the variety of photo features and the pool option, though the venue’s terms say children measuring 2 feet and below enter free.

It is also a sensible choice if you want something different from a standard city attraction. The themed swings and nests make it playful, while the view deck and pool offer places to pause. The friendly staff and the owners’ personal involvement are a welcome part of the experience, though the visit is still centered on leisure rather than a formal cultural activity.

You may want to skip it if you are short on time, uninterested in photo stops, or expecting a guided excursion. The lowest ticket is inexpensive, but transport and meals can raise the overall cost. For a short visit, entry only is likely enough. For a slower afternoon, the pool package and a meal at Café Organic make more sense.

Should you book Palawan Swing?

Book it if photo spots, an infinity pool and a laid-back setting sound like a good use of a Puerto Princesa afternoon. I like that you can keep costs down with entry only or pay more for swimming and a transfer, depending on what matters to you. The main cautions are the venue’s limited hours, its Wednesday closure, and the need to confirm pickup details if you choose transport.

For the best value, decide first whether you will use the pool and whether you need a van. Then compare the package prices with the cost and effort of arranging your own ride. If you want a quiet, photo-friendly outing with food on site, this is an appealing option. If you want a full-day adventure or a guided tour, choose something else.
