Most travelers fly into Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS) on Palawan, then overnight in the city before any offshore departure. For Tubbataha, almost all visitors travel by liveaboard that departs from the Puerto Princesa area and crosses the Sulu Sea overnight.
If you are combining Puerto Princesa with other Palawan regions (El Nido, Port Barton, Balabac), plan those land legs around the liveaboard dates because road conditions and weather can add delays.
Inside Puerto Princesa City, tricycles and vans are common for short hops. For day trips (Underground River, beaches, mangroves), most visitors book a tour van or hire a private driver.
