Highlights
  • Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park - The adventure begins when the guide picks up guests from their hotel in downtown Puerto Princesa. Once all group members are on board, the journey to Sabang Beach commences, which takes approximately 90 minutes.

Upon arrival at the beach, the tour guide will handle the paperwork and assist guests in boarding a motorboat to the Park. Safety gear, including life vests and helmets, will be provided before entering the cave. An audio device with multiple language options is available for more information about the cave. Guests will explore the Underground River, one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, on a 45-minute paddle boat ride inside the cave.

Following the cave tour, lunch will be served at Sabang Beach, featuring delicious Filipino delicacies. Guests are encouraged to try “tamilok,” a woodworm from the bark of dead mangrove trees.

After lunch, the group will head to Sabang X. The hike requires some preparation, but the reward is an 800-meter zipline ride over the sea, offering stunning views of the beach, forest, and mountains.

The day concludes with a return trip to the hotel.

Wonderful Underground River Experience - The underground river tour was incredible. It was a beautiful experience to see a natural wonder like that so up close. The Philippines has done an exceptional job of taking care and being respectful of the space. I enjoyed the audio tour, very informative. We also included the mangrove tour and zip line last minute which I highly recommend. They are affordable add-ons for a great time! Our driver and guide, Kuya RV and Kuya Jeff, were awesome. This was the first guided tour my husband and I went on and it was a very welcoming experience. Kuya Jeff was kind, knowledgeable, and organized, exactly how he was the second day. Highly recommend this tour for the price and experience! PS: We went during rainy season so the water was more brackish because of the mix of waters. We learned that during the drier season the waters of the underground river and mangroves are bluer! Still didn’t change the experience for us!

Excellent service! - Corazon gave me a private tour to the Underground River, ziplining, mangrove forest and spelunking/hiking. I highly recommend Corazon, because they helped me to know what options were possible & then made it happen. I had an early meeting flight from Manila and business meetings late in the afternoon. Corazon picked me up at the airport. I was on the first tour boat at the Underground River which was magical. The zipline was nearly 1 km long over the ocean with amazing views. Don't miss the mangrove forest tour! My guide sang a beautiful song about the Palawan mangrove.

Awesome Experience!! - Thanks to Corazon Travel & Tours, our 4-day Puerto Princesa City family vacation turned out to be an amazing, memorable, enjoyable, and stress-free experience. We booked a 3-day tour package consisting of an Underground River, Honda Bay Island Hopping, and a city tour at a discounted rate. The trip organizers (Rodelyn and Nica), tour guides (Joshua, Biboy, and Diane), and van drivers (Bel & Vice) that were assigned to us were all very friendly, accommodating, patient, and well-trained. Will definitely recommend them to family and friends!

Natural Beauty of Puerto Princesa - The Puerto Princesa experience was very good. We only did the nature tripping around PP and found it to be unique and breathtaking with the Underground River Tour. This is suitable for people who appreciates the beauty of PP natural beauty. The journey to the destination was a combination of winding, unsealed roads and longer than I anticipated. Make sure you bring coins P20 to use for public toilet and travel light, and water as it can get very very hot. I would say, getting in and out of the boat to ride on for the river tour or Mangrove tour can be a challenge for an elderly. Not that I am. The seats can be uncomfortable as the river tour is around 30 mintues. Another learning was not to bring anything plastic bag type as monkeys get attracted to it and may steal your personal belonging. Many local merchants selling bags before getting to the island. Interesting, they say this but they also sell mobile phone plastic covers! We enjoyed bargaining with local merchants on bracelets such as Coral Pearl, Onyx and assorted stones that are abundant in the island. Overall, it is a unique experience where we got to see the landscapes of Puerto Princesa.

Great Impressions - The river was impressive and great. The trips by boat to the park are nothing for everyone, but it’s ok. The tour guide was friendly but they had not so much to do. Zipline is also optional available in the normal tour, there you can can also book the line in normal position. (Tour includes Superman position)
