Private Underground River day from Puerto Princesa for your group alone, permit, boat, guide and lunch handled. Half-hourly pickups from 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM.

The same Underground River day as the joining tour, run for your group alone. Your private van collects you from your hotel in the city proper, within fifteen kilometres of the centre, the airport or Astoria Resort Palawan at a half-hourly slot of your choosing between 6:00 AM and 10:30 AM. From the earliest pickup you are at the national park around 8:30 AM for the boat hop from Sabang, the boardwalk and the guided paddle through the cave, then lunch at a local restaurant at 11:30 AM, the drive back from 1:00 PM and your hotel around 3:00 PM. Later slots shift the whole day accordingly.

It suits families, small groups and anyone who wants to set the pace at the park and the lunch stop without waiting on a vanload of strangers. The joining version of this tour is sold per seat and runs on a fixed early convoy; here the base fare covers two guests and each additional guest is added per person, with no separate vehicle charge. If Puerto Princesa is only your first stop, the one-way transfers with the tour built in carry you on to Port Barton, San Vicente or El Nido after the cave instead.

Included are the round-trip transfer, park entrance and environmental fees, the boat and guided tour, lunch and an English-speaking guide, with the permit arranged for you. The park works on dated, named permits under a daily cap, so bring the matching ID and fix this date before the flexible parts of your trip. An early slot is the better bet, since queues thicken as the morning convoy arrives. Children under eight are not recommended.
