Visiting Puerto PrincesaA trip to the subterranean river national park is absolutely worth the effort if you're visiting Palawan. It's an otherworldly experience as you paddle through the dark. The clicking of bats and the echoing drips of water are the only sounds you hear. You'll glide through cavernous rock cathedrals and past stalactites into the centre of the earth. Most tours will take you 4 km (2.5 miles) along the river. Some tours with special permits organised in advance can explore all 8.2 kilometres (5 miles). That far into the cave, boats can no longer pass and visitors have to swim between the rock walls. Conquer your fears of small, dark spaces however, and you’ll be treated to the rare sights of waterfalls gushing through the cave walls, a unique 20 million-year-old fossil of a sirenia or manatee, and a tiny rock passage that leads into a vast room, carpeted from floor to ceiling in glimmering crystals. Even the journey to the cave itself is worth it: you’ll enjoy a scenic 20-minute boat ride across the sea, past towering limestone karsts and walk through the national park, home to monkeys swinging through the tree canopies and giant monitor lizards slinking their way through the undergrowth. #urbanexplorer #maydaytripBeachbabe14

Puerto Princesa PalawanPuerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia. Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park encompasses one of the world’s most impressive cave systems, featuring spectacular limestone karst landscapes, pristine natural beauty, and intact old-growth forests and distinctive wildlife. It is located in the south-western part of the Philippine Archipelago on the mid western coast of Palawan, approximately 76 km northwest of Puerto Princesa and 360 km southwest of Manila. #urbanexplorer #maydaytripBeachbabe31

The only way in/out of the cave is by kayak with pontoons. There is so little room in the kayak that my knees were folded up to my chest, and I was struggling to sit upright so I wouldn't fall off my seat or into the passengers behind me. The tour is 45 minutes long. Before it was half over, my legs were cramping severely, from being folded into a tiny ball to fit in the kayak. At that point, I was extremely uncomfortable. #givethanks #givethanksICEICEE4

Puerto Princesa Subterranean National Park#beachlife I can't say enough positive things about this National Park. It's truly a spectacular place and one of the most impressive natural wonders I've seen. Located on the western coast of Palawan, it's home to the world's longest navigable underground river, which is an incredible sight to behold. The river winds through a maze of limestone caves, and the walls are adorned with all sorts of stalactites and stalagmites. In addition to the underground river, the park is also home to a variety of other attractions, including a beautiful cave system, a pristine rainforest, and a number of endangered species. I highly recommend visiting if you ever have the opportunity. It's an unforgettable experience. Here are some of the things I loved: The underground river is truly amazing. It's hard to believe that something so cavernous and beautiful can exist underground. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including monkeys, birds, and bats. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they help make the most of your visit. The park is well-maintained and easy to get around. Here are some tips for planning: Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting wet. Allow at least 2 hours for your visit.KrisAdventure_19

Amazing Wonders of Nature at Puerto PrincesaMy cousin and I had a wonderful experience during our visit in Palawan. we have witnessed the amazing wonders of nature as we explore the Puerto Princesa subterranean river national park. We navigated the 8.2 km long river using a paddle boat for 45 minutes. No wonder why the place was chosen as one of the seven wonders of the world in 2012. Include this in your bucketlist and be amazed. #summervacationtenna22

1 of the 7 Wonders of the World by UNESCO!#celebratewithtrip 1 of the 7 Wonders of the World by UNESCO! Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. Getting There - The park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range on the western coast of the island of Palawan, about 80 kilometers north of the city of Puerto Princesa. It's better to book a tour to get here. There is a permit required before going there. Attractions - Extraordinary Underground Cave Park Food & Restaurants - booking a tour usually includes a buffet lunch. The food was good. There are also food stalls on the pier before going to the park itself. If you value natural beauty and adventure this is one of the best things you can do!CLAD1
Arriving at Shabang Pier, all guests who go to the underground river will take a crab boat at the pier to reach the island where the scenic spot is located. Sao Paulo The Underground River National Park implements strict visitor count management every day, so it is necessary to make an appointment in advance. After the crab boat is to be distributed, the tour guide will marry us and must remember the number of the crab boat you are sitting on. Because the boat is in the scenic spot, you have to take a few boats to come out after the tour. From the pier to the scenic spot, the boat will take about 30 minutes, and along the way you will see the steep karst limestone mountain wall, and the mysterious underground river is hidden in the bottom of the mountain. The sea is a dreamy emerald blue, and our crab boat will eventually park on a shoal~Coco Wang.1

This natural marvel is located in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. This summer, consider this in your bucket list and dazzle yourself with its spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations.
In the waterway, the most impressive is the strange shape of the rocks encountered on the way, some like lions, some like mushrooms, these strange rocks due to the erosion of the tide, for a long time, it forms such a changeable shape. After visiting the waterway, you will also see dense bats hanging upside down on the rock cliff at the exit, which is insanely impressive for the intact ecological environment.
Subterranean River National Park is a must try experience eapecially those who wants to have a stong bond connection with their family and loved ones.
It was an amazing experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Inside was beautiful and so calm while we were taken all in and seen some of the rock formations. There were some bats flying around and hearing their noises. I will highly recommend this if anyone is interested.
просто великолепно! отличная прогулка в тишине с аудиогидом. это действительно уникальное место, каких мало в мире. обязательно к посещению.
