Puerto Princesa Caves

The underground caves stretch for more than 24km and they contain the last 9km of the Cabayugan River before it spills out into the Philippine Sea. The caves are a breathtaking combination of stalactites, stalagmites, caverns, waterfalls, domes and rivers. Major new discoveries have been made as recently as 2010.

The best way to see the caves is via a boat from Sabang and there are plenty of private operators offering tours. Alternatively you can book via the official tourist website. Note that only a certain number of permits are issued each day and it is not uncommon for all permits to have been issues up to a week in advance. In peak times all permits can be booked for up to a month in advance so make sure you book early.
