Passeio pelo Rio Subterrâneo de Puerto Princesa em Palawan

The hotel pickup time was communicated the day before, but it was vague, stating 6:30 AM to 7:00 AM. Ultimately, it took an hour and a half to pick up everyone and get going. The main event, the Underground River tour, was wonderful, and the audio guide machine even had a Japanese translation, so the explanations were perfect. The cave boat ride was fantastic! The lunch at Sabang Wharf was also delicious (๑´ڡ`๑)🥄. On the way back, when I told the guide that I only had 30 minutes to transfer to the shared van for El Nido, he reassuringly said it would be fine 👍️. After lunch, there were optional activities like ziplining and mangrove kayaking. If you don't do them, you can return about two and a half hours earlier than the stated end time. I think this activity is a great value for the price.

It's a good trip. The underground river is a worthwhile place to see when you visit Puerto Princesa. I enjoyed our tour guide Marlon. He had a lot of information to share with us. This trip is recommended, and there's a free lunch buffet included, which I enjoyed very much.

Ang aming Puerto Princesa Underground River tour kasama ang Wild Expeditions ay isang napakagandang karanasan! Mula pa sa simula, ang aming driver na si Kuya Japet at guide na si Sir. Kim ay napakabait, nakakatawa at palakaibigan. Ang pagdaan sa malalaking kuweba ng limestone sakay ng bangka ay tila hindi kapani-paniwala. Ang audio guide ay perpektong nakasabay, itinuturo ang mga nakamamanghang pormasyon, habang ang guide ay naglalayag sa madilim na mga silid. Lubos kong irerekomenda ang tour na ito sa sinumang bumibisita sa Palawan, isang ganap na dapat gawin!

Diana, nuestra guía turística, y Michael, nuestro conductor, nos brindaron un día divertido e informativo, y atendieron muy bien nuestras necesidades y preguntas. El Río Subterráneo es realmente increíble y me hubiera gustado poder hacer el recorrido varias veces. El almuerzo buffet fue una manera maravillosa de probar muchos platos deliciosos de la región. Elegimos la actividad opcional del tour en barco por los manglares; fue maravillosamente tranquilo y lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Fue un día largo, comenzando con una recogida muy temprano en el hotel (6:35 para nosotros). Además, en caso de que seas propenso al mareo, ten en cuenta que implica varias horas conduciendo por carreteras sinuosas y un paseo en barco motorizado.

We booked our Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour last September 18 and we had a great time! Our tour guide Sir Edward shared a lot of informational insights during our tour, and was very helpful all throughout. Even took photos of everyone from the group! He explained our itinerary well and even suggested some of the sustainable programs offered by the local government which directly helps the local community of Puerto Princesa. The Underground River Tour was very mesmerizing and definitely awe-inspiring! This was my 2nd time here and I am glad that the local authorities have since improved the tour to continue the preservation of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. There was a lunch buffet provided after the Underground River Tour with lots of local dishes to choose from including freshly-caught grilled seafood. After lunch, we tried some of the local programs available like the Mangrove Paddleboat Tour. This is definitely a must-do tour when in Puerto Princesa!

Este tour es imprescindible si estás en Puerto Princesa. La cueva es espectacular, es una de las 7 maravillas naturales del mundo. La canoa te lleva dentro de la cueva y tienes unos auriculares para explicarte la cueva. Nuestro guía Kim fue genial e informativo durante todo el camino. El almuerzo buffet fue realmente bueno. Tomamos el tour opcional por los manglares, que estuvo bien para pasar el tiempo. Si quieres aventura, también hay una opción de tirolesa. La playa allí también es agradable para refrescarse con un baño.

Ang aming Underground River tour ay isang hindi kapani-paniwalang karanasan, simula sa isang nakatakdang pickup na eksaktong nasa oras! Malaking pasasalamat sa aming tour guide, si Mr. Kim. Siya ay napakahusay magsalita ng Ingles, napakabait, at lubos na mapagmasid sa aming mga pangangailangan (lalo na pagdating sa pag-iskedyul ng aming mga bathroom break). Ang kanyang mga paliwanag ay detalyado at malinaw, na walang anumang nakakainip na sandali—siya ay tunay na isang asset sa kumpanya! Ang aming driver, si Mr. Japhet, ay mahusay din, ligtas kaming inihatid at napanatili ang mahusay na timing sa buong biyahe. Parehong sina Mr. Kim at Mr. Japhet ay nararapat ng espesyal na pagkilala para sa kanilang pagsusumikap. Tungkol naman sa Underground River mismo, ito ay isang ganap na kahanga-hangang kababalaghan. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

We had a lot of fun on this tour. Special thanks to our tour guide Kim and driver Von. Kim explained everything to us - the history, what to expect, and shared some funny jokes here and there. He told us we must try the Palawan mangoes because we can’t get them anywhere else - only in Palawan. He also explained about the underground, and he’s so calm and knows exactly what he’s doing.

Isang salita, NAPAKAGANDA. Tunay na kakaibang karanasan ang nasa loob ng sistema ng kuweba, ako ay nabighani at naakit ng mga stalagmite at stalactite lalo na sa mataas na bahagi ng kisame na marahil ay kasingtaas ng 5 palapag na gusali. Si Ate Cynthis ang pinakamarunong at pinakamasanay na gabay doon, nagawa niyang dalhin kami doon bago dumating ang maraming tao dahil may cruise ship na bibigyan ng prayoridad sa pila sa araw na iyon. Siya ay mabait, matulungin, at mahusay na may 10 taong karanasan sa larangan. Ang driver ay ligtas at maingat din sa pagmamaneho sa amin pabalik-balik sa aming mga hotel. Lubos kong pinahahalagahan ang taos-pusong pagtanggap na ibinigay nila sa amin, sila ay lubos na inirerekomenda sa aking opinyon. Salamat Wild Expeditions, sana ay makapaglakbay muli kasama kayo, sa susunod kasama ang aking pamilya :))

Such an awesome experience from start to finish! Pick-up was on time, and our guide Cynthia was the best — super friendly, helpful, and explained everything so clearly for everyone. We got to Sabang Wharf by 8:55 AM with barely any waiting, which was perfect. Everything went smoothly and the views were stunning. We also did the Mangrove Paddle Boat tour for an extra 350 PHP per person — totally worth it! Overall, such a good deal and an experience we’d 100% recommend!
