Full description

Sail along the world's largest underground river at Puerto Princesa on a full-day tour. Learn about this incredible structure from your guide, look out for wildlife, and enjoy a restaurant meal. 

Start your day with a convenient pick-up service from your downtown accommodation at 7:00 AM. From there, travel by land to the famous underground river. 

Your guide will provide information about the area and Puerto Princesa City in general along the way, ensuring you get to learn as much as you can about this wonderful location. During the trip, a stop will be made at Buenavista, a delightful viewpoint where you can get a glimpse of Ulugan Bay.

Arrive at Sabang Wharf at approximately 8:00 AM, and board a pump boat to the mouth of the cave. This place is home to Monitor Lizards, monkeys, snakes, and other forms of wildlife, some of which are exclusive to Palawan. 

After a short walk, you'll ride a paddleboat to the underground river and marvel at this natural wonder.

Once back at the wharf, lunch will be served at one of the restaurants in Sabang. Get to enjoy local cuisine and sample the taste Filipinos love. 

An optional side trip to Ugong Rock Adventure Zipline and Spelunking is available after the Underground River Tour so that you can make the most of your day. Once back in the city, you'll be dropped off at your hotel.

If you want a relaxing end to the day, select one of the massage options. Hotel drop-off after the massage can be provided with an extra charge, which can be booked as an add-on upon checkout.

Great activity. I booked the tour with the Mangrove boat trip and zip line. some people in our group booked just the river tour and then could add on the Mangrove boat trip and/or the zip line. I would recommend doing that and only adding the zip line. Mangrove boat trip was just ok I’m my opinion.

The whole day was an amazing experience. Just a few things to remember when going: The road going there is very zigzag and if you get motion sickness, it's best to take a few tablets with you. Also make sure you have enough cash with you (in small amounts) if you want to buy souvenirs there (they do not have change for big amounts). You need to be quick when taking pictures - if you are going as a group, they do not want to wait for you to finish taking your pictures - so best be prepared. It is really a must do activity - it is amazing to see how they still protect these areas.

The underground river is fantastic. Definitely do it. My only complaint would be that this 1/2 day event is stretched out to unnecessarily take a full day. There’s an optional zip line which was fun and well worth it for 500 pesos. However, if you don’t do that and someone on your tour does, you have no choice but to wait for them for 75 minutes or more. After that and before lunch, the guide will conveniently introduce you to a vendor they have a relationship with where you can buy a fruit shake for 125 pesos. What they don’t tell you however is that at the buffet you can buy a shake for 100 pesos. Their cut, I guess?
