Description

Discover the Puerto Princesa Underground River with hotel pickup, scenic van and boat rides, cave exploration, buffet lunch in Sabang, and time to shop for local souvenirs and handicrafts.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in downtown Puerto Princesa. Enjoy a scenic 2-hour van ride along the roads to Sabang Port. Upon arrival, your tour guide will process your permits and register your group with the Coast Guard. This process typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of guests arriving in Sabang.

Once the permits have been processed, you will board a 15-minute tourist motorboat (bangka) and wear a life jacket for the trip to the National Park. Walk a short jungle trail—watch out for local monkeys—to the cave mouth. While waiting for the paddleboat, your tour guide will provide the audio device.

Transfer to a paddleboat for a 45-minute tour inside the river cave. Listen to the audio guide explain the amazing stalactite and stalagmite formations.

After your cave tour, take a boat ride back to Sabang Wharf and enjoy a complimentary local buffet lunch at a restaurant in Sabang. After lunch, you may enjoy optional activities such as the Sabang X Zipline at your own expense. Afterwards, visit a local souvenir shop to browse and purchase handicrafts, local products, and memorable keepsakes from your Puerto Princesa adventure.

Finally, relax as you travel back to your original pickup location in downtown Puerto Princesa, where the tour concludes.
