Description
Discover the Puerto Princesa Underground River on a guided tour. Enjoy a buffet lunch, then embark on a Firefly River Cruise to see thousands of fireflies light up the night.
Begin your full-day adventure with an early morning hotel pickup from Puerto Princesa. Board an air-conditioned van and head north on a scenic drive to Sabang Wharf. From there, board a motorized pump boat to reach the entrance of the world-famous Puerto Princesa Underground River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Transfer into a smaller paddle boat to glide quietly into the cave system. Explore massive limestone caverns, stalactite formations, and diverse wildlife for about an hour while utilizing an informative audio guide.
After exiting the cave, travel back to the mainland wharf to savor a locally prepared buffet lunch before your van departs Sabang to bring you back to your hotel for a vital mid-day rest period.
The evening phase of your package resumes with a secondary van pickup heading out to a protected river system, such as the Iwahig River or Kitu-KiTo Eco-Park. Upon arrival, indulge in a fresh riverside buffet dinner before boarding a non-motorized paddle boat for a serene one-hour Firefly River Cruise.
As night falls, witness thousands of fireflies lighting up the mangrove canopies in rhythmic synchronization while simultaneously marveling at the bright stars above and the glowing bioluminescent plankton sparkling under the water's surface. Conclude your tour with a safe drop-off right at your hotel doorstep.
