This private Underground River Tour from El Nido will take you to one of the 7 New Wonders of Nature. In your private air-conditioned van, you will travel for about 5 to 6 hours from El Nido to Sabang. From there, you will reach the protected national park where you will discover the Underground River and its National Park.

After the tour, your private van will drive you to Puerto Princesa City, about 2 hours from Sabang, where it will drop you off at your hotel in town. Optional pickup in an area other than El Nido is available for an additional fee.

With this tour, you can avail the Extended Tour Option. This is an awesome way to discover this wonder of nature as it will take you where very few tour operators bring their guests… Instead of the short 1.5 km tour, you will go up to 4.3 km inside the subterranean river. After the turning point of the public tours, you will most likely pass very few other boats. This is truly a unique experience to appreciate the famous Underground River
