Baker’s Hill
Perched on Mitra Road just outside Puerto Princesa City, Baker’s Hill began as a small bakery famous for its hopia (flaky pastry) before blossoming into a whimsical garden-park complete with colorful sculptures, landscaped flower beds, aviaries, and panoramic views of Honda Bay.
With no entrance fee, it's a fun and affordable stop loved by families, couples, and travelers looking for a burst of flavor and photo-worthy backdrops.
How to Experience Baker’s Hill
The easiest and most efficient way to include Baker’s Hill in your itinerary is through a Puerto Princesa City tour. These city tours typically include plaza visits, snack stops, boutique souvenir shops, and access to scenic viewpoints—all with hotel or cruise port transfers provided for convenience.
Cruise visitors can also book Puerto Princesa city day tours from cruise port, which guarantees seamless pickup and drop-off at the pier while fitting in top attractions like Plaza Cuartel, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, and Baker’s Hill. These shore excursions in Puerto Princesa are among the most reliable shore-friendly tours for cruise passengers, offering a well-paced, culturally-enriching half-day exploration of the city.
What to Do at Baker’s Hill
Stroll through the garden park and snap photos with larger-than-life cartoon and celebrity statues, or enjoy the sweeping views over Puerto Princesa and Honda Bay from the scenic deck. Grab freshly baked fare—from hopia to crinkles and pies—and try local specialties like the famous hopia mongo or ube from the onsite bakery and café.
Kids will love the mini-zipline, playground, and aviary with peacocks and other birds. The relaxed vibe makes it a perfect stop for stretching your legs and buying souvenirs before heading back into town.
Best Time to Visit
Baker’s Hill is open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for cooler temperatures and softer lighting for photos. Though it’s busiest on weekends, weekday mornings are usually much quieter and offer more relaxed strolls.
