Those of us who have been to Disneyland in its various locations know how long the wait can be. While I visited the underground river on a so-called 'lean season' September Saturday, the tour guide's insistence on going back from our hotel to pick up a further two passengers for our minibus 'cost' our group a nominal 35 minutes which... more

Cleo Canoy Page/Florida, USA I was in Dos Palmas Resort last Feb 19-21, 2008. One of the excursion I took was the Subterranean River. This is a MUST to see if you go to Palawan. This place is so unique even Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, USA can not compare to this. The only regret was I run out of... more

I would suggest that you take one of the package tours that are readily available through flyers at the Puerto Princesa Airport....in my case, we took Ellen's Travel & Tours....hotel pick up is around 7:00am and it's about 2.5 hours drive from Puerto Princesa to Sabang....half of the travel time is on good road conditions...the rest is an adventure ride!... more

My wife and I stayed in Sabang for 5 days, and had a banca arranged to Puerto Princesa (formerly St. Paul's) Subterranean NP ,twice. The first time was to explore the Underground River. It was fantastic, to say the least. An aqua blue lagoon surrounds the mouth of the cave, where the boatman paddles you into the a subterranean world... more

My fiance and I went to Palawan during two big storms, but we were at least able to go to the Underground River. The trip there was the bad part. While half of the trip was on paved roads, the other half was on dirt and muddy roads. The driver of the van was excellent. He made sure that we... more

Worth the trip. Our tour van got stuck in the mud twice getting there. It rained the night before. My white clothes were permanetly ruined from the red dirt mud which I sustained from pushing our stuck van. I highly recommend this tour. more

I was at Puerto Princesa from April 26-29, 2007. I have just arrived from Puerto Princesa and browsing the net I stumbled on this site. I thought it must be good to share with others about my good experience going to the underground river. Well, from the airport, we headed to the bus/jeepney terminal for a ride to Sabang. There... more

Our traditional Philippine banca (boat) glided down the western shoreline of Palawan island. We were on an 8-day banca safari during the dry season which runs from December to May. Far inland shone the glinting peak of Cleopatra's Needle, protruding proudly from the central spine of the island's mountain ridges. The banca edged gingerly in towards the sandy shore, and... more

My husband and I went to palawan for the first time last week. Since it was just going to be a three day trip, we wanted to get started right away. From the airport, we went straight to the Undergound River. Beforehand, we knew that there was going to be a two-and-a-half hour landrip to get there. What we didn't... more

Sabang Underground River National Park, Philippines- There is a very pleasant, seldom visited fishing village on Palawan's western coast that is home to the Sabang Underground River National Park. The park, located in the town of Sabang, sits nearby a pristine expanse of rainforest, a long stretch of perfect beach, and the world's largest underground river. Running 8.2KM inland from... more
