Enter the exotic and breathtaking world of the Puerto Princesa Underground River on a guided paddleboat ride through a stalactite-filled cave. After a cruise through the paradisiacal rainforest and turquoise waters of the park, explore the pitch-black inner recesses of the miles-long cavern.

Following convenient pickup from your Puerto Princesa hotel, you set off on a leisurely drive to the village of Sabang. Along the way, make stops to catch sight of spectacular attractions, from the historic landmarks of downtown to natural wonders like the pristine blue waters of Honda Bay.

Upon arrival in Sabang, board a motorboat for a brief ride along the coast to the forested entrance of the park. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of indigenous animals like mischievous macaque monkeys and aquatic monitor lizards. When you reach the park, you board another boat manned by a paddle operator. Sail the sparkling green water toward the opening of the cave and make your way inside.

Once in the cave, you're brought into an otherworldly environment filled with dark waters, domed amphitheaters, and craggy stalactites hanging like icicles from the ceiling. Marvel at the breathtaking atmosphere as your guide explains the thousands of years it took for these structures to form. Following the ride, hop back in the motorboat for lunch in Sabang. Dig into a buffet of Filipino favorites like chicken adobo, pancit noodles, and longaniza sausage before heading back to Puerto Princesa.
