Underground River Tour - Private

General information

Destination
Palawan, Philippines

Program details

Over 1,200 islands and islets comprise Palawan Island. Located in the southwest part of the Philippines, incredible scenery awaits visitors who venture to this tiny sliver of paradise. Beautiful white, sandy beaches with crystal-clear water, soaring mountains and dense jungle rainforest are just a few charms waiting for you. Discover another great Palawan Island treasures with our full-day cruise underneath the Earth as we explore an Underground River.



Enjoy the tropical rainforest and mountains that pass by on our two-hour journey from Puerto Princesa to Sabang on the other side of the island. Immediately after reaching the port, motorboats will take you out to the calm waters of St. Paul’s Bay. Snap loads of pictures in this gorgeous spot where the blue sea laps up against lush, green hills.



Located inside the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (PPSRNP), the Underground River spans 8.2 kilometres. Rubber canoes guide you along the river at this point and our knowledgeable guides will share their knowledge about this biodiverse place off the South China Sea. Admire the dome-shaped, cathedral-like caverns and witness the stalagmites that rise from the water. Together, they create an eerie atmosphere straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. As you navigate down the river, do not be surprised by the echoing cries of bats that live inside these caves. Before returning to Puerto Princesa, enjoy a picnic lunch at a seaside resort in Sabang and relax a little more by the sea.
