Private Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour – UNESCO Site

The vehicle, the guide and the day are your group’s alone, and you choose the departure slot rather than joining a fixed convoy. Nobody else is added to your booking, so the pace at the park and the lunch stop are yours to set.

Half-hourly slots from 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM. Earlier is the better bet: the park queues thicken as the morning convoy from the city arrives, and an early start leaves the afternoon free back in town.

The base fare covers the tour for two guests, and each additional guest is added at a per-person rate. There is no separate vehicle charge, so a family or small group pays one predictable total.

Yes. The park admits visitors on dated, named permits under a daily cap, and the booking blocks one for each guest. Bring the ID that matches the name on your booking, and fix your date early — permits pin the date, so book the river before anything flexible in your trip.

Hotel pickup and drop-off, the air-conditioned round-trip transfer, the park entrance fees, the boat ride and guided cave tour, lunch at a local restaurant and an English-speaking guide. Breakfast, dinner, personal expenses and tips are on you, as is the PHP 150 per person Puerto Princesa Environmental Fee, paid in cash only on the day. Pickup or drop-off at Astoria Resort Palawan, about 35 km out of town, adds PHP 5,000 per way (PHP 10,000 for both), shown at checkout.

The listing runs it as a 9-hour day, with Sabang Wharf reached around two and a half hours after pickup and the return to your hotel by mid-afternoon. A private booking absorbs delays better than a joining tour, because nobody else is waiting on you.

Children under 8 are not recommended on the Underground River tour. For everyone else it is one of Palawan’s most accessible wonders: boardwalk and short paths, the paddling done for you, helmet and life vest supplied at the entrance lagoon.

Full payment is taken at booking. Cancellations made up to 7 days before the tour date are refunded in full; inside 7 days a 50% cancellation fee applies, and no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded. If you cancel a booking paid by card or PayPal, the 5% payment processing fee is not refunded. Cancellations by the operator or due to weather are refunded in full. Changes are subject to availability and price adjustments — message us early if plans shift and we will help rebook.

This service has an estimated duration of 9 hours to complete.
