Full description
Begin the day with hotel pickup from downtown Puerto Princesa or the airport and head to Sabang Wharf, arriving around 8:00 AM. Board a pump boat and cruise into the mouth of the cave, home to monitor lizards, monkeys, snakes, and other wildlife, some of which is exclusive to Palawan. Following a short walk, ride a paddle boat to the Underground River and marvel at this unique natural wonder. Grab an audioguide and sail through the narrow waters, past stone walls with hundreds of years of history. Keep an out for interesting shapes and colors in the caves and on the walls. Upon return to the wharf, lunch will be served. Savor a feast of local cuisine and then set off on the optional excursions, either a zip-lining adventure or a peaceful mangrove paddle boat tour. Return to your hotel for some downtime before heading back out for the evening portion of the tour. Drive to an offsite restaurant for your dinner before heading on to a river located some 30 kilometers from the city center. Aside from the fireflies and the stars, you'll also see the water light up by the bioluminescent plankton. Following the tour of the estuary, return to the wharf and then to your hotel.

We were very satisfied with the tour. What we would like to emphasize positively: Very well and professionally organized great entertainment while driving Our guide and driver were great and extremely friendly What would improve: Everyone had to take part in the zip lining and the boat tour or wait, which I would then only offer as a complete package The day tour and evening tour in one day is a bit too long But we would book a tour with you again in a heartbeat!

There's a lot of driving involved for the Underground River but it was definitely very impressive and our guide Jack was great. The Zip Line takes you over the ocean which is very cool but also a pretty short experience. The Firefly part of the tour in the evening was cool but considering the drive there and back.. not really worth it that much but if you've never seen Firefly's its a cool one time thing to do. Overall it was a good experience, jump on the tourist bandwagon for it as it makes getting around and so on a lot easier.

Our guide Kyle was very passionate about his job and had a great amount of knowledge about the area! Our bus arrived on time and was comfortable, it picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back there after. The tour duration was from 7am to 5pm and because there were different activities if you didn't sign up for them all you were waiting for other people in the group to do them (you could choose to add on activities at the time if you wanted). We booked the combo tour of the Underground River and Firefly Watching tour but they were separate tours which was not communicated to us beforehand. Kyle contacted the company to ensure we wouldn't miss the Firefly tour bus after we raised it. Overall, the tours were worthwhile!
