Puerto Princesa Underground River History

In 2010, exploring environmentalists and geologists discovered that the underground river had a second floor. Hence there are small waterfalls actually inside the cave.

Along with this discovery, they also found a cave dome, rock formations and a deep water hole in the river. As well as some large bats and marine creatures.

Consequently, in 2011, the underground river was named as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Making it the pride of not only Puerto Princesa but also the Philippines.

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean National Park has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1999.

What To Expect On The Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour

It takes 2 hours to drive to Sabang Wharf from Puerto Princesa.

Stopping en route to view other natural attractions, such as Elephant Mountain.

From Sabang Wharf you catch a small 6 seater catamaran just 15 minutes around the coastline arriving at Sabang Beach. Which is also the entrance to the cave.

The Puerto Princesa underground river tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and takes you into the first 1.5 kilometres of the Underground River cave.

You will also experience the beauty of stalagmites and stalactites, which took thousands of years to form, whilst also mixing with the thousands of bats that inhabit the cave.

On the outside the water is clear and the surroundings are beautiful. Whilst on the inside the dark cave creates an eerie yet interesting atmosphere.

Definitely one of the best things to do in the Philippines and a spot to add to your Philippines bucket list!

Hey, we aren't actually a booking site. We are just a travel blog writing about our experiences. However you can book a trusted tour here: Puerto Princesa Underground River Day Tour

Monday 20th of January 2020

SO I am a bit confused, i have been reading a few reviews/tips and I don't quite understand, so if I do a tour guide or book a trip under a tour guide, like idk, say online from tripadvisor's link..it includes the UNesco fee correct, but if i book something under a private tour thru someone local (in Boracay we had locals walk towards us if we wanted to book thru them for xxx activies) thru them we have to get a separate UNESCO slip (fee)? I will be having my family of 7 with me which includes children as young as 6 with. I would like to try to get the best lowest cost but i want to be able to do the tour as i also read that the gov'mt has limited amount of tours per day.

Hey Anna, what you've said is correct. If you book through a trusted tour operator then most include all fees. However some of the local tours will simply charge you for a boat and leave you to pay the fees as you arrive.

We recommend double checking with whoever you book with beforehand, and if you're looking for a trusted tour operator we can recommend this one: Puerto Princesa Underground River Day Tour

• Puerto Princesa Underground River

The Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the most famous and popular attractions in the Philippines. This day tour is the main reason people stop at Puerto Princesa before heading to other parts of Palawan, such as El Nido and Coron. Declared both as a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the new 7 wonders of nature, visiting this awe-inspiring cave system is something you will remember forever. This tour is included in all of our Puerto Princesa packages , as well as other interesting attractions in the area, such as Firefly watching and Honda Bay island hopping.

The Subterranean River national park lies amidst the jungles not far from Sabang beach, to the north of Puerto Princesa. It is an elaborate cave system, full of unique rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites. Since the river connects directly to the ocean, a one of a kind phenomenon, an extremely diverse ecosystem thrives inside. Unfortunately, since it’s very dark, you are most likely to only see bats. So, the main attraction is the huge caverns and halls resembling a massive cathedral, making this place one of the largest and most elaborate cave systems accessible to the general public.

Underground River Tour Quick Facts

• Prefect for : Nature lovers, Families, Groups.
• Best time to visit : November to May.
• Tour packages include : Hotel Pickup, lunch, transportation, guide.
• Starting point : Hotel pickup.
• Duration : Half day.

How to get to the Underground River

The easiest way to visit the Underground river  is by renting a van and going from Puerto Princesa. It’s 1.5 hours drive to Sabang, and you’ll be picked up from your hotel early in the morning. Since this tour is very popular, it’s better to get there early to avoid long waiting times. Even though booking a private van is possible, we strongly encourage taking this tour as part of a group. It doesn’t only make the experience cheaper, but also much more fun.

Another option is getting to Sabang beach the day before and spending the night there. You can then have a full day of exploring this area, which has a few other attractions as well. Sabang is mostly about nature – there are a few mountain hiking trails and the beach itself is quite nice. Since there are quite a few advantages to staying there instead of the city, this is something you can consider. Read our reviews of Daluyon and Sheridan , the two best resorts in Sabang, and it will give you a better idea if this a place you’d like to stay at.

Lastly, you can even visit this place directly from El Nido by renting a private van. This isn’t ideal as the van ride takes 5 hours, meaning you’ll have to leave El Nido around 4AM. Still, if you have an evening flight from Puerto Princesa, it’s certainly possible to spend half a day in the underground river before the van drops you off at the airport. Taking the opposite route however, is highly popular, as many tourists choose to continue directly to El Nido after completing their day tour. This means you’ll arrive  El Nido around 8PM, and wouldn’t need to spend an extra night in Puerto Princesa.

What to do?

The underground river tour itself is highly regulated and fairly schematic – there isn’t a lot of room for customization and special requests. You can scroll a bit further down to see the sample itinerary for the half day tour. Whether you choose to join a group or take a private tour, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and escorted by a local guide the whole time.

As for what you should bring with you, our advice is to pack light. Most chances are you won’t get wet, so there’s no need to wear a swimming suit, but bringing a towel is always a good idea. Wear comfortable shoes instead of flipflops, and bring sunscreen and water. While waiting at Sabang for the boat ride to the underground river, you’ll have plenty of shops around you – so you can easily find a place to buy water and snacks if you need to.

The national park is a protected ecological site, so please treat it with it respect. Avoid littering and do not touch anything, especially once inside the cave. Introducing bacteria and substances from the outside can severely damage the delicate ecosystem inside. While waiting in the jungle for the kayak to the cave, you’ll likely see macaque monkeys – do not provoke them and try to keep a safe distance as they can get aggressive when feeling threatened. In general, please make sure to always follow the safety instructions and keep constant attention to your guide throughout this trip.

How does this tour package fit into your vacation plan?

Most people who visit Palawan prefer to spend as much time as possible at El Nido and Coron . These 2 locations are simply much more beautiful and special than Puerto Princesa. That said, Puerto Princesa still has its own special charm and of course the underground river is something you would not want to miss. Moreover, flights to Puerto Princesa are cheaper and much easier to find.

For those reasons, we believe the ideal plan for anyone visiting Palawan is to fly to Puerto Princesa and spend a single night there. Then, take the day tour to the underground caves in the morning, before continuing to El Nido directly from there. This is especially recommended for larger groups and families, since renting the private van would become cheaper.

If you prefer to stay an extra night or 2 in Puerto Princesa, that’s of course fine as well. There are plenty of fun attractions and tours both in the city area and near Sabang beach as well. These parts of Palawan are great, especially for families with small children, and you can easily spend a couple of days touring this place. In any case, the underground river is the pinnacle of our Puerto Princesa tour packages, which can all be booked as a standalone service or as part of a larger Palawan tour package .

Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour 2023: Your Guide to World’s Longest Underground River

Planning to visit Puerto Princesa Underground River? In this guide, we will walk you through cruising Palawan’s world-famous subterranean river and highlight the latest fees, how to get there, the best time to visit, and more.

Dubbed the “City in the Forest,” Puerto Princesa City is the capital city of Palawan known for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (PPSRNP) or the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR). The PPUR (as called by locals) is located approximately 76 kilometers northwest of Puerto Princesa in the Saint Paul Mountain Range, a 5-mile stretch of the Cabayugan River that features a limestone cave.

The national park is one of the world’s most impressive cave systems, comprising the longest navigable underground river ever recorded stretching 8.2 kilometers. Being one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is truly a tourism pride of the Philippines.

• Entrance Fee – 500 PHP (~9 USD)
• Audio Device – 85 PHP (~1.50 USD)

What to Bring to Your Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour

Here is a recommended checklist of the things you need to bring on your tour:

• Sandals or water shoes
• Water bottle
• Waterproof phone case
• Microfiber towel
• Mosquito repellent spray/ lotion

Visiting Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour

Once you have secured your permit, there is a waiting time of at least 30 minutes to prepare your assigned motorboat which will take you to the Saint Paul Mountain Range. It will take at least 15 minutes to get there, depending on the weather conditions.

The long wait will be worth it as soon as you touch down to the beach area of Saint Paul Mountain. You will be welcomed with a picturesque view of mountains with the unspoiled beauty of intact old-growth forests. The areas are also surrounded with fine white sand, so, wearing sandals or aqua shoes is advisable to wash them off easily.

There will be a 5-minute trail going to the cave entrance, where free-running monkeys and monitor lizards (bayawak) are wandering freely around the forest. Make sure that your belongings, especially your phone, are well secured. The monkeys are prone to snatching random items from the tourist.

Additionally, the caretakers of the park will also prohibit you from petting or feeding the animals. According to them, they need to live in their natural habitat to source their own food. Bringing plastic items is also prohibited as the monkeys take this idea as a container for food.

Approaching the cave entrance indicates the highlight of your tour. A guided paddle boat will take you inside the majestic cave system of the underground river, as the boatman officially welcomes you to the tour.

Now, this is the part where a staff will activate your audio device. It contains pre-recorded information about the things that you must know about the cave. 

Fun fact: The audio device was introduced in early 2015, made especially for tourists who cannot fully understand the English language. You can switch and select up to 11 languages which include English, Tagalog, Chinese (Mandarin), Nihongo (Japanese), Deutsch (German), Spanish, Korean, Italian, French, Arab, and Russian.

You will get to see the spectacular rock formations of stalactites and stalagmites shaped like vegetables, fruits, animals, and even the image of Jesus Christ and a dome-like cathedral. As you enter various tunnels, you will also witness thousands of fruit bats either flying around the cave or nestled together as they sleep in an upside-down manner.

Initially, the boatman will also share some funny jokes to lighten up the mood (Here’s a tip; ask them where the tiny droplets inside the cave are coming from, and they will give a humorous response about it 😉).

The entire exploration lasted for about an hour. As our paddle boat exited the cave, you will realize how amazing the wonders of nature can build one’s imagination. It was an adventure with a therapeutic effect.

After the delightful experience, we were given an extra 15 minutes to freshen up, take some pictures, and relax for a bit before we headed to our motorboat to drive us back to Sabang Wharf. They also offer a photo souvenir for 220 PHP (~4 USD).

Around the town, there are restaurants that offer buffet lunches which would range from 350 PHP (~6 USD) per person. You’ll get to enjoy selections of dishes, fresh seafood, grilled meat, and a lot more. 

They also offered a well-known delicacy in Palawan called tamilok, a type of woodworm taken out of rotten mangrove trees. We bought a small serving for 150 PHP (~2.5 USD), and it was an experience worth trying, best consumed when dipped in vinegar. 

We managed to get the last trip (4:00 PM) from Sabang to the city proper via Bloomfield Transport for 350 PHP (~6 USD) and told the driver to drop us off at our hotel.

Note: If you have availed your PPUR tour package from a travel agency, there could be a side trip tour to other travel destinations near Sabang, such as Ugong Rock Adventures, Sabang X-Zipline, and Cacaoyan Forest Park Restaurant. Tourists have the option to visit them or head straight to their respective hotels.

Best Time to Visit Puerto Princesa Underground River

The best time to visit the PPUR is between February and May during the dry season. Expect some delay in boat transfers to Saint Paul Mountain Range between the rainy months of June and November, as the PPUR office prohibits the boats from traveling during stronger wind conditions.

However, cancellation of tours can be possible due to inclement weather conditions. You may check the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park & World Heritage Site Facebook page for daily announcements.

Your Complete Guide to Palawan

Normally in PPUR tours, there has always been a debate between doing a DIY tour or availing a travel package. While the DIY option can save you a few hundred pesos, you must do everything out of scratch, such as securing your own permit and booking your own van transfers.

As a former travel coordinator, I personally recommend availing a packaged tour as it covers everything you need. We advocate giving our tourists the best experience while being comfortable during their travel.

But if you are always down for a great adventure and enjoy ‘doing what the Romans do,’ then a DIY tour might be the one for you.

UPDATED Guide to Puerto Princesa Underground River, Palawan

The Puerto Princesa Underground River  is one of the things you shouldn’t miss when you’re in Palawan . It is part of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New7Wonders of Nature .

It’s one of the longest underground rivers in the world. That in itself is an amazing feature. The underground river flows directly under the St. Paul Mountain Range. The cave system inside stretches for 24 km and the river itself goes for 8.2 km.

Regular tours cover the first 1.5 km of the underground river — from here, regular-sized boats can’t pass thru the narrow passageways. It’s possible to tour the entire length of underground river by securing a special permit. Inside, you’ll be able to paddle your way across the river and appreciate the natural rock formations and wildlife.

My Experience at PPS Underground River Tour

How to get to puerto princesa underground river, when is the best time to visit, how to do a diy tour, puerto princesa underground river package tours, things to bring, things to know before you go, where to stay in puerto princesa, what to read next:.

I’d been to Palawan a couple of times but I haven’t had the time to stop at Puerto Princesa City. After my 3-day island hopping trip to Balabac , I decided to stay here for a few more days.

I booked a packaged joiner tour to the Puerto Princesa Underground River via Travelicious Tours Palawan . Yes, it’s possible to do it DIY and you can save a little, but a lot of people will tell you it might not be worth the hassle. Each guest must secure a permit to enter the underground river, and a travel agency does all the paperwork for you.

A service van picked me up at about 7:30 AM in my accommodation. Once all joiner guests are picked up, we were ready to go.

We made a few stops before going to the Puerto Princesa Underground River. Our guide told us these side trips help fill in the waiting time before our schedule slot. Usually, waiting time is 1-2 hours.

First is the Buenavista Viewdeck, which has an overlooking view of Ulugan Bay. There’s also a souvenir shop where you can buy pasalubong such as keychains, bracelets and other local products.

Next, we stopped in Sabang for optional activities including zipline and mangrove tour. My friends decided to wait in one of the cottages, while I hopped on a boat for the mangrove tour. It was actually quite nice, since we get to sit quietly in the boat while our guide pointed out the species of mangroves in the area and wildlife including snakes.

We then head over to a restaurant for a buffet lunch featuring local food. The buffet lunch was good — there was a lot of choices and food is decent. We were all happy with it.

Alas, it was time to head over to Sabang Wharf where we took a motorized boat for 15-20 minutes to arrive at Entrance Beach.

The Entrance Beach is beautiful, by the way. There are gigantic karsts similar to that in El Nido and the beach is a beautiful green. There’s a huge signage where tourists normally go for a mandatory photo.

Up ahead there’s a forest where you can see monkeys and komodo dragons. (I was surprised to know there are komodo dragons here; I thought they could only be found in Indonesia!) Then there’s the jump-off point to the underground river tour.

It was time for us to get on one of the paddle boats! We were given a life vest and safety cap each (mandatory), as well as an audio guide with earphones that we can listen through during the tour. I like the soothing voices of the narrators. I think the only way it can be improved if is they get Benedict Cumberbatch.

It was dark inside the cave. Our guide/boat paddler would point his flashlight in specific stalactites and stalagmites and give additional info as well, aside from that we’re listening to. They are creative in likening the formations to common objects such as vegetables. There are also formations similar to the Last Supper and what appears to be the face of Jesus Christ.

We passed by wide passageways and huge rooms including one called The Cathedral.

It was challenging to take photos inside because it’s dark and we were continuously moving.

The tour was a humbling experience. There we were, in one of the grandest natural attractions in the world — peaceful and undisturbed. The soothing voiceover, occasional bat noises and sounds of dripping water from the cave’s ceiling all contributed to giving an amazing experience.

Here are the directions to Puerto Princesa Underground River.

• Take a flight to Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
• From Puerto Princesa, ride a trike or jeep to San Jose Terminal. From there, take a bus to Sabang (P125, 2 hours). Walk to Sabang Port where the registration is.

If you avail of a packaged tour, round-trip service from your hotel to the underground river is taken cared of.

The Puerto Princesa Underground River is open all-year round. However, it’s best to visit during high season when sea condition is calmer. During bad weather, the underground river may be closed — although this is not a common occurrence.

Low season runs from July to October, and high season is from November to June.

Should you go on a packaged tour or DIY tour?

A DIY tour saves you a little money, but you have to do everything yourself including securing a permit to the underground river day(s) before your visit. I recommend getting a packaged tour to the Puerto Princesa Underground River instead as it’s the easier choice. Most people go this way as well.

Here are the instructions to a DIY tour to the Puerto Princesa Underground River.

First, you need to secure a permit to the underground office in the tourist office in City Coliseum, Puerto Princesa City. Do this at least a day before your intended visit.

On the day of your visit, make your way to Sabang Port. Show your permit and pay the environmental fee. The environmental fee is good for 5 days and can be used for both Puerto Princesa Underground River and Honda Bay. Your permit will be stamped once paid. Show this to the people organizing the motorized boats to the Entrance Beach. A boat takes 6 passengers so you may need to wait for others, but since there are a lot of tourists going to the underground river, you shouldn’t wait long. The boat ride takes 15-20 minutes.

From the Entrance Beach, walk for about 100 meters to the jump-off point to the underground river. There you’ll be put on a paddle boat along with the same passengers you were with in the boat from Sabang.

Here’s a summary of rates for a DIY tour ( Updated as of 2021 ):

Packaged tours are the recommended way to visit the Puerto Princesa Underground River.

A packaged tour normally includes:

• Round-trip van transfer from/to your accommodation in Puerto Princesa City
• Buffet lunch
• Motorized boat transfer from Sabang to Entrance Beach
• Entrance fee, permit, guide fee

The Puerto Princesa Underground River: The Ultimate Guide

The Puerto Princesa Underground River is a true wonder of nature. Here’s what to expect and all you need to know to plan your visit. Enjoy!

In the picture perfect island of Palawan, you will find a natural wonder like no other. You see, instead of being located above ground, this wonder of nature is an underground one that will take you a lot of effort to reach but trust me, the reward will be worth it.

Read all about the Puerto Princesa Underground River here my wonder friends including my best tips as to how to plan your visit on your own without a tour. 

Are you ready to explore this wonder of nature? Here we go!!!

The Puerto Princesa Underground River Without a Tour: How to Plan Your Visit

Of all the Wonders of Nature (read all about my adventures at Iguazu Falls , Halong Bay and Komodo Island !) that I’ve visited so far, the Puerto Princesa Underground River is the only one to require a very tedious bureaucratic process. In order to get a permit for the Underground River, you have to apply for it at the Puerto Princesa’s City Colisseum.

The number of permits sold each day to walk-ins is quite low (the rest go to the local tour companies) so it is recommended that you apply for it at least one or two days in advance. 

Price of the permit fee for international tourists is 250 PHP plus 85 PHP of the mandatory audio guide. In addition to this you have to pay 40 PHP for the environment fee and 200 PHP for the roundtrip boat ride from Sabang to the Puerto Princesa Underground River’s entrance.

However, be warned that despite its name, the Puerto Princesa Underground River isn’t actually on Puerto Princesa itself. The nearest town to the Puerto Princesa Underground River is Sabang which is located 90 minutes away from Puerto Princesa. 

In order to get there, you need to take a 200 PHP (one way) shared van from Puerto Princesa’s Lexxus Terminal so the grand total of visiting the Puerto Princesa Underground River without a tour is 250 + 85 + 40 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 975 PHP which is roughly 18 USD. 

If you want a hassle-free experience on the other hand (or if you were too late and you didn’t manage to get a permit) you can hire a tour from Puerto Princesa. They usually cost around 1900 PHP (36 USD give or take) and include a surprisingly good buffet lunch.

Sabang, the Gateway to the Puerto Princesa Underground River

Puerto Princesa was my first destination of my Philippines trip and as I was feeling jet-lagged I decided to just hire a tour from my hostel instead of being adventurous and embarking on the bureaucratic process of getting the permits.

All tours have the same pick up time (8:00 am) and will spend close to 30 minutes picking up people from many hostels and hotels before starting the journey to Sabang. 

And well, I really hope that you enjoy Sabang as much as I did because you’ll be spending many hours here waiting for the tour guide to get the permits for everyone.

The way that the Puerto Princesa Underground River Tours operate is that the tour leaders will take a photo of your ID (passport, driving license, etc…) then upon arriving to Sabang, they will go and get clearance in order to secure your group’s access to the Underground River.

The problem? EVERYONE is doing the same so if by some reason your group arrived a little bit late (which is common thanks to travelers that aren’t ready during pick up time), you will be at the end of the queue and will have to wait close to 3 hours before boarding the motor boat to the Underground Rivers’ entrance.

Luckily, there are many side activities you can do in Sabang while you wait including visiting a mangrove forest and zip-lining across the beautiful Sabang beach.

The Puerto Princesa Underground River: What to Expect

After having a very delicious buffet lunch, we finally boarded the motor boat that would take us to the entrance of the Puerto Princesa Underground River.

The boat journey is a very short and smooth one (less than 20 minutes) but I really recommend you to put your valuables inside your dry bag in case the water splashes you due to the speed of the boat.

You can read about some of my best packing suggestions here: RTW Packing Guide.

Once you disembark from the boat you will proceed to a wooden pathway from where you’ll have to walk 5 minutes to the entrance of the Underground River. 

Be on the lookout my friends! Along the way you can spot monkeys, monitor lizards and more fantastic and friendly animals so be careful not to step on them!

Also, don’t bring any plastics bags with you. Not only it is harmful for the environment but monkeys have the habit of stealing them thinking there’s food inside. You don’t want your valuables to be spread all around the island do you?

Upon finally arriving at the Puerto Princesa Underground River proper, you will be forced to wear a life vest and a helmet in order to be allowed inside. 

They will also give you an audio guide which includes an interesting narration about the natural processes of the Underground River as well as some funny insights about the names of certain rock formations.

It is forbidden to speak loudly inside the Underground River (to avoid disturbing the bats) which is why the Government decided to implement the audio guides in order to have a virtually silent tour. If you ask me, more natural sites should do this as well! 

The Puerto Princesa Underground River is more than 24KM long although only 4KM of those can actually be navigated by boat. 

And well, words cannot really begin to describe the otherworldly beauty of the sights you will encounter during your journey. My best advice? Turn off the audio guide after a while and just contemplate in total silence the masterworks of Mother Nature.

That being said, don’t look up with your mouth open or a bat might drop a little present for you!!!

Where to Stay in Puerto Princesa, Philippines

While some people chose to stay in Sabang itself, truth is that Puerto Princesa has more things to offer (including its closeness to Honda Bay ) so my recommendation is for you to spend at least 2 nights there.

Puerto Princesa has its fair share of budget hotels, party hostels and luxury hotels so there’s a little bit of everything for everyone.

Personally, I can recommend Shebang Hostel, a boutique hostel located a few minutes away from the airport, the customer service was amazing and they were very helpful in booking the Puerto Princesa Underground River tour for me. Be sure to check them out!

You can make a booking for this and more properties via our  Booking.com Affiliate Link of Wonders ! Same price for you and a small pocket money commission for this website of yours.

Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour

Our Underground River tour did not push through on our first day so it was moved on our last day after our El Nido tour . This time, it’s sunny in Sabang so no more cancelled tours. Though the ocean was still a little rough, yet manageable. We left El Nido early in the morning at around 3am to catch the morning schedule since our flight back to Manila was 3pm.

Puerto Princesa Underground River

At 8km in length, the Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the world’s longest navigable underground river. This protected area in Sabang is a major tourist attraction in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It is also one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meaning, you absolutely cannot miss this when visiting Puerto Princesa !

Our Journey to Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park

From Puerto Princesa City proper, land travel to Sabang Port takes about 2 hours (but since we came from El Nido, we did not have to go to the city proper). From Sabang Port, there are boats that will take you to Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (you will be disembarked at a beach). Then another boat ride that will take you inside the cave (but this time it’s motorless).

• Land travel to Sabang Port (2 hours)
• Boat ride to Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (10 minutes)
• Motorless boat tour inside the cave (45 minutes back & forth)

Motorless paddle boats are being used to take tourists inside the cave. Tourists are only allowed to go up to 1.5km of the underground river. Audio guide with headsets are provided for each tourist to minimize human sounds inside the cave so expect a quiet yet enchanting tour. Helmets and life jackets are also provided and should be worn for the whole duration of the tour. Each tour lasts around 45 minutes.

There was a huge line of visitors consisting mostly of foreign tourists. But despite the influx of visitors, peace and order were still apparent. Although we waited for about 15 minutes before our turn, but it wasn’t too long thankfully.

Here are some of the photos we took inside the cave.

The water surrounding and inside the cave was very calm, unlike the water at the beach that was a bit moody. The color is in the shades of green and emerald green. And it’s not the typical river having raging waters that we usually see. It’s an underground river with very quiet waters.

There’s so much amazing things to see inside. It’s so amazing that you will be unable to take lots of decent photos because you’re just in deep awe. Not to mention it’s really dark inside which requires dark photography skills and gears. The only sources of light inside are the tour guides’ torches and tourists’ camera flash.

The helmets are necessary not only for unforeseen accidents. It also covers your head from bat waste droppings while inside the cave. You know, it could be messy and nobody wants the hassle of washing hair while on tour. We were also advised not to open our mouth when looking up, which means we had to be amazed in silence.

After the tour we had our early lunch at a restaurant in Sabang Port (forgot the name), which is also included in the tour package. We went straight to the airport for our 3pm flight back to Manila. However, the flight was delayed. Later on we realized it was a blessing in disguise as we got an opportunity to watch sunset above the clouds. How wondrous! Can’t help but adore its Grand Artist: God.

While writing this post, I was reminded that in good times or bad times, God is still good and faithful. Our lives are not meant to be on mountaintop all the time. It’s only through the “valley” (low) times that we have the chance to offer the most fragrant form of worship to God.

To worship Him in good times is great. But to worship Him in difficult circumstances, it’s the most beautiful and sweet-smelling offering for God!

I will bless the  Lord  at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the  Lord ; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the  Lord  with me, And let us exalt His name together. ~Psalm 34:1-3

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ ~Isaiah 41:10

Hi, I'm Dea! A traveler who loves good food and an electronics engineer based in PH. I like creating itineraries and daydreaming about the places. As weird as it might sound, I find the planning part as enjoyable as the trip itself. I love sunsets, beaches, and staycation trips. And I'm a worshipper of God—the source of my everything! I once wandered aimlessly in life, until Jesus found me! Now, I just wander around wonderful places as I marvel at His creation ❤️

Nakarecord na pala ngayon yung spiel ng mga guides? Noon kase sila lang mismo nagbabanggit nun during the tour eh.

Ganda din ng sunset. This is one of the rare cases na masasabi nating buti na-delay yung flight. 🙂 BTW, pwede makahiram ng isang picture nito? Will give you credits naman. TIA.

Yes naka record na sya, and 4 years ago na din itong tour namin. Hehe. And sobrang worth it nga ng pagka delay ng flight!🙂 Sure go ahead 🙂

Shared Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour in Palawan with Lunch & Hotel Transfers

Description

Explore the hidden treasures within the depths of the Puerto Princesa Underground River in Palawan. This boat trip is open for anyone who wants to explore the spectacular limestone landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. This shared Puerto Princesa Underground River tour is already inclusive of the assistance of a licensed tour guide, boat transfers, an Underground River Visitor Entry Permit (VEP), an audio guide, buffet lunch, insurance, and pick-up and drop-off from your accommodations in Puerto Princesa. Please note that the Puerto Princesa environmental fee is not yet included in this Palawan Underground River tour.

Wake up early on the day of your tour, as you will be picked up from your accommodations at 7 AM. You will travel from your hotel in Puerto Princesa City to Sabang Wharf in the comfort of an air-conditioned van. Sabang serves as the main gateway to the Subterranean River National Park. There, a motorized boat will be waiting for you and will take you to the mouth of the cave.

There will be paddle boats on standby at the entrance of the cave. You will be transferred to these boats, which will take you inside the river. Before boarding the boat, a lifejacket, headgear, and audio device will be given to you. Make sure you wear the safety gear properly to ensure a hassle-free experience.

The Underground River is considered one of the most impressive cave systems in the country, so expect to see several natural rock formations on its walls. Your guide will point out the various shapes these rocks form, such as a lady, a dinosaur skull, the last supper, and a candle.

Other than the rocks, the stunning stalactites and stalagmites will catch your attention. The dazzling crystals and minerals, plus the cathedral-like natural caverns and halls, will also leave you speechless. While enjoying the breathtaking view, listen to the audio device given to you for further information about the river.

The river stretches up to 8.2 kilometers, but only 4.3 is open to the public as the remaining part lacks oxygen, making it too risky for visitors to go beyond. The river is home to a few species like bats, birds, and reptiles. 

After that awe-inspiring underground river cruise, you will return to Sabang Wharf, where a buffet lunch will be waiting for you. Once you are done, you will be transported back to your hotel in Puerto Princesa so you can rest and relax after a morning of exploring.

Avail yourself of this Puerto Princesa Underground River tour and visit a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site. Check the availability by choosing a date.
