I have never heard of Port Barton prior to my recent vacation in Puerto Princesa. I planned on going to Honda Bay, which is more well known, but the staff at our hotel, Astoria Palawan, insisted that Port Barton is nicer. We thus signed up for the day tour and headed to San Vicente, which was a 2-hour drive from Puerto Princesa. The island hopping tour includes stops at around 5 islands, 2 snorkeling sessions, and a homemade lunch lovingly prepared by the boatmen. Visitors will get the chance to see a sandbar, starfishes, turtles, and stunning coral reefs. This tour is a must-see for first time visitors to Palawan especially beach lovers. Since Port Barton was promoted only recently, it is not as touristy or crowded like Boracay.
