Underground River

At 8.2 kilometers of winding water, this is one of the longest underground rivers in the world! Officially labeled the ‘7th New Wonder of the Natural World’, the underground river in Palawan is a must-do.

You’ll take a short hike through the jungle where monkeys will come out and beg you for snacks, and then you’ll reach small boats at the mouth of the cave. Climb in and you’ll paddle together through complex cave tunnels with hanging bats and calm waters. You’ll learn all about the formations from your friendly guide as you go.

Recognize that these tours are so popular that they can be full for a few days in advance. Plan your trip now by booking with a tour group online.
