What To Expect
Puerto Princesa Underground River
The underground river attraction you are referring to is most likely the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, also known as the Puerto Princesa Underground River. It is located in the province of Palawan, Philippines. The Puerto Princesa Underground River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. It is a 8.2-kilometer (5.1-mile) river that flows underground through a cave system before emptying into the South China Sea. The river is known for its stunning limestone karst formations and unique ecosystem. Inside the cave, you will witness a breathtaking display of stalactites and stalagmites, along with other intriguing geological formations. The boat tour is guided by trained personnel who provide information about the cave's history, geology, and wildlife.
Wildlife Spotting: The national park is home to a diverse range of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for various species of birds, reptiles, and monkeys along the riverbanks. With luck, you may even spot some bats hanging from the cave ceiling. The park is surrounded by lush rainforests and stunning limestone cliffs. Take in the breathtaking natural beauty as you cruise along the river. You'll be treated to picturesque views of the forest, limestone formations, and the emerald-green water.

5.00Lagum Adventures was well-organised and they messaged us a day or two before the Underground River tour to remind and also let us know what to wear and bring. On the way to the Underground River, we had a short stop where there was a great view of the West PH Sea. The Underground River tour itself was amazing. We were given audio guides as they observe silence entering the cave for conservation purposes. This made the whole experience quite meditative. After the tour, we had a buffet lunch that included all sorts of Filipino dishes. My group was headed to El Nido after and had booked a van. From the joiner's van for the Underground River tour, we transferred to another van headed for El Nido. We had lots of room despite picking up other passengers along the way and even got to El Nido earlier than expected. Very convenient for us given our tight schedule to be able to do the Underground River Tour and then have a van transfer to El Nido right after.

5.00Booking the tour was a breeze, thanks to Lagum Adventure's efficient and friendly customer service. They promptly responded to inquiries and ensured a seamless reservation process. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our knowledgeable guide who provided us with a comprehensive overview of what to expect during the tour. Entering the underground river was like stepping into another world. As we glided through the caverns on a paddle boat, we were mesmerized by the sheer beauty and magnificence of the limestone formations. As we emerged from the cave, we were filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the marvels we had witnessed underground. The Lagum Adventure Philippines Private Underground River Tour exceeded all expectations, delivering an unforgettable experience that will remain etched in our memories for years to come.

4.00The underground river is stunning! The tour was well organised in all the transfers. After the tour we requested to be taken to El Nido so there is also the possibility to be dropped off there. Very convenient.
Good tour, but a couple of issues

4.00The UR tour and tour guide were fantastic. Because we chose the El Nido to PPS option, the trip began with a shared van transfer from El Nido to a transfer point where we joined the group coming from Puerto Princesa. That first portion of the trip was very uncomfortable, with 16 people packed into a 15 passenger van, as the driver randomly picked up folks on the highway looking for a ride. This also made us late to the transfer area to join the other group for the last leg to the underground river. The only other complaint was that when booking, the online portal allowed you to select dietary requirements, giving the impression that they could be accommodated; however, the buffet lunch restaurant and tour guide had no knowledge of what was selected at booking, nor any seeming ability to accommodate it. Aside from those two things, we really enjoyed the tour.
Rowdy fellow passengers

3.00The tour is great but the fellow passengers were the problem. Went with rowdy hispanic foreigners and end up paying extra to change to private transport. They were rude towards my family of 4 (wife, son, mother-in-law), talked in a loud manner, play hispanic songs loudly in their portable speakers, and occupied the seats meant for the elderly and disabled. Our trip were supposed to go straight to El Nido from Sabang, but the group have to return back to PPS as their luggage were still in their hotel. There were 8 of them and 4 of us, with our luggage occupying the space behind and no space for their luggage. The agency involved should cut down the number of passenger to 8 instead of 12 for such arrangement (PPS-Sabang-El NIdo) considering the luggage of each passengers.
