Summary: I loved meeting Batak Tribe and the tour guides were really knowledgeable and gave a lot of important Information about the Batak people and about Palawan. I'm very thankful for the 2 young men that assisted my tour guide and I crossing those rivers to and from the Batak Village. My tour guides came about 10 minutes early to my hotel which was really awesome
