Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour – Full-Day Adventure with Optional Side Trips

Experience one of the Philippines’ top natural wonders with our full-day Underground River Tour in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience—perfect for nature lovers, families, and adventure seekers alike.

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up between 7:30 and 8:30 AM, depending on your location in Puerto Princesa. Our friendly tour guide will notify you once the van is outside. From there, enjoy a scenic 1.5 to 2-hour drive to Sabang Wharf, with beautiful views of mountains, forests, and the sea along the way.

At the wharf, board a motorised boat for a short ride to the entrance of the Underground River. Once there, you’ll be provided with a helmet and life jacket, and board a paddle boat guided by a local boatman. An audio device will narrate the tour in your preferred language as you float through the river’s mystical cave system filled with stunning limestone formations, towering chambers, and unique wildlife.

The cave tour lasts around 45 minutes. Afterwards, you’ll return to Sabang and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a local restaurant, offering traditional Filipino dishes.
