Philippines · PUERTO PRINCESA TOURS
Puerto Princesa is the gateway to a river that runs eight kilometres under a limestone mountain, and the park caps how many people go in each day. These 15 handle the permit, the van up to Sabang and the paddle boat, with Honda Bay and the firefly cruise as the natural add-ons.

Review of Puerto Princesa’s Underground River day trip, with boat rides, cave sights, lunch, delays, optional zipline, and practical booking advice.
“It would be hard to screw up something as incredible as the underground river so I recommend this trip! The guides were very communicative about expectations for wait times, the drive over was comfortable and they were very on top of picking me up at the airport and making sure everyone got to where they needed to go after the trip. The reason this isn't a five star review is because the wording was a little misleading regarding the "forest walk" in the national park. We were told that we would get to go on a hike and what we did was not a hike at all (200M walk from…”

Review of Palawan’s Underground River, coastal zipline, mangrove paddleboat, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Everything was amazing the price is very reasonable for everything included. The tour guide was really nice and explained everything clearly as soon the group was complete and always made sure we were all always complete.

“Well organised trip. We were in safe hands with our driver and Mark, our guide, has a great personality, funny, friendly, professional and shared his wide knowledge of history, culture of Puerto Princesa and the Palawan island. The mixed variety of highlights are interesting and enjoyable. Pity the WWII Fort was closed for renovation but Mark provided some information which will prompt us to read more about the atrocities that occurred there. Fascinated how the weavers produce their products; the highlight of the butterfly farm was seeing for the first time the native peacock, pig and bear cat. The tribal experience was interesting although participants didn't appear very enthusiastic. Absol...”
Review of Puerto Princesa’s Underground River tour, with cave highlights, transport details, costs, waiting times, lunch tips, and who should book.
“The overall experience was FANTASTIC!!! It was all made possible by our tour guide Eleazar (Brian) and great driver Ruben. Eleazar exceeded all expectations when the timeline to get back to the cruise ship was tight, he relentlessly worked all of his connections to get us to the cave quickly and beat the crowd. Ruben drove us quickly and safely in both directions to save time. We even had enough time to take a shopping stop close to the port. One recommendation for passengers: Get off the ship as early as possible to get a jump on cruise ship tours because once they get to the Sabang wharf, they get…”
