Place to Visit

Puerto Princesa Undeground River has been awarded as the 7th New Wonder of the Natural World last 2012. This has increased its number of visitors significantly. The underground river is part of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The underground river, which has a total length of 8.2 km, is one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the world. It flows directly to the sea making it subject to tidal influences. Be sure to visit it and make it part of your bucket list.

From the registration point at Sabang, you’ll take a motorized banca to the Entrance Beach. This is a beautiful forest area that serves as the home of several endemic species. Some of these species are the Crab-Eating Macaques, the shy Tabon Bird, the White Breasted Sea Eagles and the Palawan Hornbill. Tourists are advised to keep their bags close and to refrain from bringing plastic carrier bags because the macaques are naughty and can grab these items.
