Into the Depths: A Mesmerizing Day at Puerto Princesa’s Underground River

If you’re visiting Palawan, the Underground River Day Trip from Puerto Princesa City is a must-do experience that lives up to the hype and then some. The journey begins with a scenic drive through lush countryside and sleepy villages, setting the tone for a day filled with natural wonders.




Once you arrive at Sabang, the real adventure begins. A short boat ride over sparkling turquoise waters takes you to the Subterranean River National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.




The river tour itself is surreal. As your paddle boat silently glides into the cave’s mouth, the world outside disappears. Inside, you’re surrounded by dramatic rock formations, cathedral-like chambers, and colonies of bats clinging to the cavern ceiling. The guides are knowledgeable and often hilarious, blending fun facts with local lore to keep the vibe both educational and entertaining.




What makes this trip truly unforgettable is the balance of thrill, tranquility, and jaw-dropping natural beauty — all packed into a day.
