Explore The Magnificent Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park A Renowned Global Natural Wonder


The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park stands as a testament to the beauty of the natural world, having been officially inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. Recognized globally as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, this site features the longest navigable underground river on the planet. Visitors are invited to witness the spectacular geological formations, including intricate stalactites and stalagmites, that have developed over millennia within this protected and ecologically significant limestone cave system.


The guided tour experience takes participants deep into the first kilometer of this massive 8.2-kilometer river system. As you navigate the dark, cool waters, the silence of the cave is broken only by the sound of water and the echoes of the cavernous interior. This unique environment provides a rare glimpse into a subterranean ecosystem that has earned the site its prestigious status as a RAMSAR wetland of international importance, highlighting its critical role in global biodiversity conservation.


Logistics for this excursion are designed for maximum convenience, with pick-up services available from hotels within the city center, the local airport, and the cruise ship port. Guests staying at out-of-town accommodations can also be accommodated for an additional fee. Because the tour takes place within a sensitive natural environment, all operations are subject to daily weather conditions, ensuring the safety of all visitors and the preservation of the delicate cave structures during the boat journey.


This tour is perfect for those who appreciate natural history and geological marvels. By visiting the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, you are supporting the ongoing efforts to protect one of the Philippines' most iconic landmarks. Whether you are a solo traveler or visiting with family, the experience of drifting through the ancient, winding tunnels of the cave offers an unforgettable perspective on the power of nature and the importance of maintaining our world heritage sites for future generations.

This is a good experience. It is quite touristy. We got a boat from the mainland to the island where the caves are. The island is full of wildlife which was a highlight for us. Lots of monkey and monitor lizards. The caves are beautiful with lots of bats flying around. You go into the cave on a small boat 9km in which takes around 25 minutes. Overall a nice experience but there are ALOT of people doing it

My friend and I went there. It was a fun experience. Beautiful cave. If you are planning to visit, be careful with travel agents. Pick carefully and check their reviews before giving them your business. I made a mistake and was ripped off. Cost for this trip alone through agency was 2700 pesos and 150 for environmental fee. Total 2850 pesos. Includes underground river, transportation, and lunch.

A living, breathing museum of nature's art 😍 It is indeed one of the Wonders of the World. The process to get here is very organized and safe. Boats from piers have designated numbers and are written on each life vest so you won't board a wrong boat. They will give you a helmet before walking inside the forest that will lead you to the Underground river. They also provide audio guides as it is prohibited to create loud sounds inside the cave because it will disrupt the ecosystem there. Beware of 2 things though: 1. The resident monkeys roaming the area. They can get aggressive and persistent. 2. The bat droppings inside the cave. They can contain harmful bacteria that will cause diseases. Overall, it was an excellent experience 👌 the balance of preservation and tourism is very evident.
