About
Mitra's Ranch sits on a hilltop overlooking Honda Bay and the city of Puerto Princesa. The ranch offers horseback riding (P150 per ride), a zip line, and a viewing deck with some of the best panoramic views in the area.
On a clear day, you can see the islands of Honda Bay spread out below, with the green mountains of Palawan's interior behind you. The grounds have a garden area, a small cafeteria, and souvenir shops.
It's often combined with a visit to Baker's Hill (10 minutes away) for a half-day Puerto Princesa tour.
How to get there
-
Mitra's Ranch is about 8 km north of the city centre, up Mitra Road off the national highway in Barangay Sta. Monica, so it is a ride rather than a walk.
-
A tricycle hired from the airport or city centre costs about P300 for up to three people and takes roughly 20 minutes.
-
Cheaper option: a jeepney or multicab heading north toward Santa Monica for about P20 per person, then a tricycle up Mitra Road from the junction.
-
Most visitors fold it into a half-day city tour along with neighbouring Baker's Hill.

Local tip
Come in the late afternoon for golden light on Honda Bay. Combine with Baker's Hill. They're 10 minutes apart by tricycle.
