Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Crocodile Farm)

Appreciate the conservation they are doing here. Cages or pens are clean and sanitized. The staffs look like they genuinely care about the animals. Our guide was informative and funny as well. I just hope they could improve and maintain the place more. There are a lot of vacant areas that can be developed to attract more visitors. The Nature Park looks more like a haunted forest than a park 😢 And it was home to just 2 types of animals. Tourists won't mind paying more if it means the travel to this part of Puerto Prinsesa is worth it.

The Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (Crocodile Farm) is an amazing place to learn about wildlife conservation while seeing crocodiles up close! The experience was both educational and exciting — from seeing baby crocodiles in the hatchery to the huge adults in the enclosures. The guided tour was informative, and the staff clearly care about protecting endangered species and educating visitors about the importance of wildlife preservation. Aside from crocodiles, there are also other animals like birds and endemic species found only in Palawan, which made the trip even more interesting. The place is well-maintained, and it’s great for families, students, and anyone who loves nature and animals. Visiting here not only gives you a fun and memorable experience but also helps support conservation efforts in Palawan. Definitely worth a stop when exploring Puerto Princesa

Very nice place. Lots of Information given by the guide. Plenty of saltwater and freshwater Crocs to see. Pay a little extra and get to hold a baby croc and have pics. There are also other animals to see here including snakes, birds and more.

I visited the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center during my recent trip to Puerto Princesa, and I’d say it was one of the more eye-opening parts of my itinerary. The place is often referred to as the “Crocodile Farm,” but there’s actually more to it than just crocodiles. As soon as I got there, I was greeted by the sound of birds and the smell of fresh foliage—yes, it has that “wild” vibe right off the bat. The tour started with a short orientation inside a small museum-like area, where I saw an actual preserved skeleton of a massive crocodile that used to live there. It’s jaw-dropping in size—literally. From there, we were guided toward the hatchery area, where baby crocs are kept in separate enclosures. I was both fascinated and slightly unnerved seeing dozens of baby crocodiles squirming around. They looked harmless but knowing what they’d grow into gave me chills. Then came the highlight: the adult crocodile enclosures. There’s a sturdy metal walkway above their pens, and I could see at least a dozen large crocs lounging in the mud or half-submerged in water. One of them let out a deep rumble-like hiss, which made everyone on the platform stop in their tracks. It reminded me these animals are powerful predators, not just zoo attractions. What I appreciated most was that this center isn’t just a tourist spot—it has a strong conservation and rescue mission. They also care for other wildlife, like hornbills, eagles, and other rescued animals. Some are in rehabilitation, while others are permanent residents due to injuries or being raised in captivity. The facility isn’t flashy or commercialized, but it serves its purpose. It’s educational, humbling, and worth visiting if you want a closer look at Palawan’s natural biodiversity—and a better understanding of why conservation matters. Pros: • Up-close view of crocodiles at all stages of life • Educational and conservation-focused • Chance to see rescued birds and mammals Cons: • Some areas need maintenance • Not ideal for people who don’t like the sight (or smell) of wild animals Would I recommend it? Yes—especially if you want to experience something raw and real in Palawan beyond beaches and islands.

sometimes you need crocs, but real talk, a lil bit scared. but you need to learn more how they live. when your in Palawan, visit here, you will meet #aklat, the huge crocs.
