Day Trips & Excursions in Palawan

Visit the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, and paddle down the Puerto Princesa Underground River on this 8-hour tour. This underground river is one of the longest underground rivers in the world. Board a boat at the mouth of the cave at Sabang Wharf, and stop at the Buenavista viewpoint for views of the Ulugan Bay. You can also choose to upgrade to include a group or private trip to a ziplining experience at Ugong Rock Adventure Zipline and Spelunking.

The dramatic karst cliffs, lush forests, and underground river system of the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park lie around two hours north of Puerto Princesa City. On this tour, enjoy plenty of time to explore the UNECO-listed landscapes, cruise along the underground river on a paddle boat, and spot monkeys and other wildlife in the rainforest, before enjoying a buffet lunch at a local restaurant.

Cover more ground in less time with an El Nido island-hopping tour. In one hassle-free day, check off sights, such as the Big Lagoon, a breeding ground for fish and crustaceans; The Beach-like Secret Lagoon; Simizu Island, famous for bird's nest soup; and Seven Commandos, named after seven World War II-era Japanese soldiers that remained after the war. Your guide shares in-depth commentary and prepares a meal while you're snorkeling a reef.
