Underground Cave, Puerto Princesa

•

,

When flying to Puerto Princesa, Palawan, the underground river in Sabang is one of the famous places to visit. The cave is known for its complex system of limestone karst landscapes, formed through limestone erosions. In 2012, the Underground Cave was officially inducted as one of the new seven wonders of nature.

You cannot explore the cave on foot. You will ride the boat and, more often than not, the boat is wet. So it is better to avoid wearing jeans or any clothing that will get heavy with water. The trip is on a shared boat that carries about 8 people max. The cruise is 1.5km long. The tour fee starts at Php 2,500 (45usd).

Cave entrance has shallow water

Keep your hands to yourselves — the tour has an absolute “NO TOUCH POLICY” to protect the limestones and preserve the cave.

The tour package includes pick up and drop off (within Puerto Princesa city center), tour guide, boat transfer (you need to ride a motorized boat from Sabang Wharf to reach the underground river), lunch, zipline (optional), and an environmental fee of Php150 (3usd).

You can also embark on a trail.

We met sunbathing lizards and monkeys.

Pristine waters + fine white sand.

She is in her 40’s. She is trilingual. She likes to wear slippers and she feels her prettiest after a manicure. She has a penchant for skincare, lip tint, and school supplies. She struggles in the kitchen but she is happiest when you feed her. Raised in the southern part of the Philippines, this woman can eat durian and balut. You have to drink kinutil ( a concoction of coconut wine + cocoa/chocolate + milk + durian) with her. Make her laugh, she likes that.
