Overview

With this tour, you'll get to visit one of the longest navigable underground river in the world. With the help of your guide, you'll get to know more of Puerto Princesa and the wonderful flora and fauna found only in our island. Book this trip if you wish to have a fun-filled day in the city.

The activity includes pick up from your hotel within 15 kilometers of the airport. We will advise you of your exact pick up time before 7 PM the day prior so you know what time you'll prepare. Have a heavy breakfast because travel time from the city to the wharf is 2 hours.

Waiting time is inevitable considering that this is one of the most popular tours in Puerto Princesa. Despite this, your guide will endeavor to provide you with one of the most memorable trips in Palawan.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant and after, you have the option to join a zip line flight and help the local community who organizes this activity.

You'll be back at your hotel at around 4 PM.

This was extremely worth it! We had Joshua as our guide and he was phenomenal! He made sure we were efficient and reduced our wait times by getting our group there and keeping us informed. our driver also got us there in record time so we didnt have to wait behind all the other groups.

A must do when traveling to Puerto Princesa. Make sure to pack a swimsuit to enjoy the beach while people are doing ziplining. Thank you to Jerome, our your guide.

The underground river is just amazing! The caves are unique and stunning to paddle through. The zipline was also very fun! It's a 2-3 hours drive to get there, but the experience makes it worth the long drive. Remember to take medicine, if you get car sick, because the road is very winding and bumpy. Our guide Rosalyn was kind and funny! We recommend this adventure 100 percent. Rune & Michelina (from Norway)

We would highly recommend this tour it was a lovely day out , modern vehicle with good air con. Great communication from Travel cart tours throughout the process with updates on pickup times . Our tour guide was great company with lots of local info to impart. Nice spot for sightseeing on the way there with panoramic views for photos with plenty of “comfort breaks” throughout the tour. The indoor river and caves were a fantastic sight to see and well worth the visit . The cave tour was accompanied by a headset audio guide in your chosen language which was easy to listen to .A local tour guide did all of the paddling required inside the caves. The boat trip to and from the caves were quite exhilarating about 15 minutes each way and helped to make the day special, the cave and river experience was followed with a buffet lunch and several more add ons that we’re offered such as the Zip line( these were an added extra if you wanted them and reasonably priced )All in all good value for money and worth the visit.
