Palawan destination
Underground River (Sabang)
Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Sabang, west coast
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is the one Palawan trip you cannot turn up for on the day. The park limits how many people go in, so the permit comes first and the transfer is built around it.
What you should know before you book
- The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999.
- It was named one of the New7Wonders of Nature in 2012, which is a large part of why demand outstrips the daily cap.
- The park is reached from Sabang on Palawan’s west coast, overland from Puerto Princesa; from Sabang wharf a boat runs along the coast to the beach at the cave entrance.
- Entry runs on a daily visitor cap, so permits are arranged in advance rather than bought at the gate.
- The underground river flows directly into the sea, and the cave is home to large bat and swiftlet colonies — part of why access is controlled.
We publish facts, not fares. Prices depend on the vehicle or boat, your group size, waiting time and the season, so every trip is quoted individually — free and with no obligation.
