Tour Details

With this tour, you'll get to visit one of the longest navigable underground river in the world. With the help of your guide, you'll get to know more of Puerto Princesa & the wonderful flora and fauna found only in our island. The activity includes pick up from your hotel within 15 kilometers of the airport. We will advise you of your exact pick up time before 7 PM the day prior so you know what time you'll prepare.

Have a heavy breakfast because travel time from the city to the wharf is 2 hours. Waiting time is inevitable considering that this is one of the most popular tours in Puerto Princesa. Despite this, your guide will endeavor to provide you with one of the most memorable trips in Palawan. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant and after, you have the option to join a zip line flight and help the local community who organizes this activity, so expect to be in groups with side trip as this is a shared/joiner package tour.

You'll be back at your hotel between 4-5PM.
