1 Day Itinerary | Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour
Pick-up from your accommodation in downtown Puerto Princesa at around 6.30am*. You will be transported to the destination by tourist van with air conditioning. Upon your arrival at the underground river, your entrance time will be arranged by your guide and you will embark on your boat trip. Be aware that you could get wet during the trip so it is important to wear sensible, comfortable clothing.
During the tour, you will spot different animals that live in the cave and marvel at the natural beauty that this place provides. Only 600 people are allowed to access the underground river across any one day period so booking in advance is recommended.
A moderate amount of walking is involved over uneven surfaces, so wear appropriate footwear. As a result of the terrain, this tour is not recommended for wheelchair users or those with walking disabilities.
There is the option to combine this tour with a side trip to Ugong Rock Adventures where you can do a zip-line flight and spelunking. This adrenaline filled add-on is a great choice for outdoor lovers and thrill-seeking backpackers!
The van will take you back to your original departure point in Puerto Princesa at around 4.00pm.

Corazon Travel & Tours
Corazon Travel and Tours sprung out of the budget hotel in Puerto Princesa, Corazon Tourist Inn, as the owners wanted to offer their customers better travel experiences than were on offer at the time (2014). (Corazon means “heart” in Spanish.)
The company was recently been recognised by the City Government of Puerto Princesa as one of the best travel agencies of 2017, and received Trip Advisors certification of excellence the following year, 2018. They also received a plaque of appreciation for their partnership with the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, as a travel agent that seeks to promote sustainable tourism and conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Corazon Travel and Tours offer travellers the chance to experience many wonders of Palawan with their Puerto Princesa Underground River Trips and El Nido and Honda Bay Island Hopping Adventures. Their local guides are friendly and super knowledgeable about the areas that they take you to visit!

When is the best time to go?
Rainy season in Puerto Princesa is July – October. High season is November to June. There is no bad time to visit the Underground River but conditions are generally better in the high season as the sea is calmer and weather tends to be sunny.
If your tour is unable to go ahead because of bad weather conditions, Corazon will work with you to find an alternative day to complete the trip.
What should I pack?
Pack light! You’ll be out for about 6-8 hours and moving from vans to boats and back again so you don’t want to be carrying anything too bulky.
Will I get wet?
You could get wet entering the boat so make sure you bring some flip-flops or sandals with you!
