Port Barton to Puerto Princesa with Underground River Tour

Pickup at Port Barton Terminal at 4:00 AM, three hours to the national park, breakfast at your own expense from 7:00 AM, registration and briefing at 8:00 AM, the guided boat tour of the Underground River from 8:30 to 11:30 AM, free time, lunch, then the drive back with a short city and souvenir stop, and drop-off at your Puerto Princesa hotel at 5:00 PM.

Port Barton is roughly three hours from the park by road, and the itinerary puts you at registration by 8:00 AM — early enough to be through the cave before the day-tour convoy from the city fills the queue. Pickup slots run to 8:30 AM.

It travels with the driver for the whole day, so you check out of Port Barton in the dark and arrive in Puerto Princesa that evening with your bags. Keep electronics in a water-resistant bag or pouch for the boat hops, as the listing advises.

Yes — entrance fees, the boat permits and fees for the cave tour, the environmental fee, a licensed guide, lunch and personal accident insurance are all in the fare. Bring valid identification: park entry is checked against a named, dated manifest.

The base fare covers the private air-conditioned vehicle, the tour and two guests, and each additional guest is added at a per-person rate. Your group does not share the van.

About 5:00 PM at your hotel in the city proper, after a short city and souvenir-shopping stop in the late afternoon. Traffic and weather move that figure, so treat it as approximate.

Moderate. The park approach is boardwalk and short paths and the paddling is done for you, but sturdy, comfortable footwear is recommended. Travellers who are pregnant or have back problems should check with a doctor before booking.

Full payment is taken at booking. Cancellations 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. Changes are subject to availability and price adjustments — message us early if plans shift and we will help rebook.
