1.Underground River Full-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,460 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $48Our pick

Full-day trip from Puerto Princesa to the Puerto Princesa Underground River by boat, with wildlife stops, a Sabang lunch buffet, and optional zipline or mangroves.

“Drivers are always very very dangerous (its was raisins and 100km per hour on every turn in the Mountain...) the organisation should be more efficient with the différent options (mangrove zip line etc) driving to the zipline and driving back to the parking and driving again to the mangrove.. the underground river was amazing.”
