With this tour, you'll get to visit one of the longest navigable underground river in the world. With the help of your guide, you'll get to know more of Puerto Princesa & the wonderful flora and fauna found only in our island.

The activity includes pick up from your hotel within 15 kilometers of the airport. We will advise you of your exact pick up time before 7 PM the day prior so you know what time you'll prepare. Have a heavy breakfast because travel time from the city to the wharf is 2 hours.

Waiting time is inevitable considering that this is one of the most popular tours in Puerto Princesa. Despite this, your guide will endeavor to provide you with one of the most memorable trips in Palawan.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant and after, you have the option to join a zip line flight and help the local community who organizes this activity, so expect to be in groups with side trip as this is a shared/joiner package tour.

You'll be back at your hotel between 4-5PM.

The tour was well organised, Jed was a great tour guide and quite funny. Everything was kept to schedule even though there undergound river was really busy. They kept in constant communication with us and even helped with our transport to El Nido straight after the tour (although we had a few hiccups with this). Only slight issue was we requested for pickup at 7.30am, but they showed up at 6.45am which caused a bit of stress but was ok.
Amazing activity - definitely one of the wonders of nature.

The underwater river tour was amazing, and it was so interesting to see how the cave has preserved itself over the years. The men were so skilled in maneuvering us around the cave on the boats. Stalactites and stalagmites form interesting features. The audio was well done and in line with the boat guide. I didn’t give 5 stars as our guide for the day was not that great. She left us for most of the time, as she separated the group and went with the other group. We waited a long time for her after lunch, when everyone was ready to leave. But I can see why this is rated as one of the seven wonders of nature.
