Private Underground River Tour To El Nido

Your tour guide will meet you at your place of choice within Puerto Princesa City proper.

Around 1 hour and 20 minutes on the way to the Underground River, we’ll stop at Buenavista View Deck to see the breathtaking scenery of the Ulugan Bay (and give you time to use the restroom if needed).

While your tour guide is processing the permits and boat to go to the National Park, you’ll be able to roam around Sabang Beach and watch the locals cultural performances. The waiting time will depend on the affluence on that day.

A 25 minutes boat travel will bring you from Sabang Wharf to the Subterranean River National Park. You’ll land on the beautiful Saint Paul Beach.

Within the National Park, you’ll witness a lot of wildlife: monkeys, monitor lizard (bayawak) and squirrels. While waiting for your turn to enter the river on the municipality managed boats, please be advised to keep plastics bags or packages hidden and to pay close attention to your belongings: the monkeys might get interested in them and take them from you.

The tour inside the underground river will usually take 45 minutes or up to 3 hours if you choose the Extended Tour option. You’ll discover the geological formations inside Saint Paul Cave (including stalagmites, stalactites and natural crystallizations) as well as the wildlife which inhabits it. Be ready to be amazed as this is a very unique experience to have in this New Wonder of Nature.

After the tour, you’ll take your private boat back to Sabang Wharf. If you’re not in a rush and would like to take the time to swim a little, you’ll have the opportunity to do so at Sabang Beach.

Lunch is served either after or before the tour, depending on the time of arrival in Sabang. The lunch buffet will be served in a local restaurant, with variations of different Filipino dishes, including vegetarian options.
