To reach Tubbataha reefs,you will have to take an hour’s flight from Manila or Cebu to Puerto Princesa City in Palawan. Dive operators will have their representative meet you at the airport and escort you to the wharf, some 5 minutes drive away, to the Puerto Princesa Pier, where their dive boat await.

Tubbataha Reefs is accessible only by sea transport. It  takes about 10 hours to get to the park from Puerto Princesa, depending on the speed of the boat. Most of the vessels leave after dinner and arrive in Tubbataha at around 6 a.m. Some slower vessels, however, leave the wharf earlier in order to arrive in the Park at first light.
