Underground River Puerto Princesa
To conserve the delicate environment of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a daily visitor limit is enforced. This helps protect the area’s wildlife and ensures long-term sustainability. Only those with a permit, which takes about three days to process, can join the Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour. Travel agencies can assist in securing permits ahead of time for a hassle-free experience.
