Itinerary

Your day begins with a scenic 1.5 to 2-hour land transfer from Puerto Princesa City to Sabang, where you’ll board a short outrigger boat ride along the coastline to the national park entrance. From there, a paddle boat awaits to take you deep into the Underground River, gliding through its vast chambers and cathedral-like caverns in a serene 45-minute journey. Along the way, your guide or an audio system will provide fascinating insights into the history, geology, and wildlife of this UNESCO-listed wonder.

After the cave tour, you’ll enjoy a hearty buffet lunch at a local restaurant in Sabang. Depending on your tour package or interest, you may also have time for optional side activities like the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour, an adrenaline-pumping zipline adventure at Ugong Rock, or simply unwinding at Sabang Beach.

This immersive experience showcases one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the world, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, lush rainforest, and thriving wildlife such as monkeys, monitor lizards, and exotic birds. A visit to the Underground River is not only awe-inspiring – it’s also a journey into one of nature’s greatest masterpieces.
