Here's a tabulation of what you can expect to spend going to Puerto Princesa for the Underground River Tour and Honda Bay Island Hopping Tour. As mentioned in my entry Go Palawan! we were lucky enough to have irene's family van take us around which cut our van transfer costs by more than Php2,000.00. I'll post their contact info once their travel and tours permits are ready.

You can opt to rent tricycles rather than a van for your Honda Bay transfer which would lessen your Island hopping costs but a van is much more comfortable.
It's really up to you if you want a DIY Tour of Puerto Princesa. As you can see in the tabulation, difference per person is just around Php500. If you're the type that wants everything taken cared of, I suggest you take the Packaged Tours. However, it's also a great experience to Do-It-Yourself, plus you'll save a few hundred bucks!
