A 3 to 4-day stay is usually enough to explore the main attractions like the Underground River, Honda Bay, and city sights. If you plan to take side trips to other parts of Palawan, you may want to extend your visit. The city is a good starting point for exploring the island.
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.
