About this tour
A 3-day package combining two nights' accommodation with a guided tour of Puerto Princesa's Underground River, one of the world's most recognised cave systems. You'll stay at a hotel of your choice, receive airport transfers, and have a local guide lead you through the main attraction plus time to explore the coastal city itself. Suits first-time visitors wanting a structured break without constant planning.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Puerto Princesa airport and be transferred to your chosen hotel for check-in. The next morning, after breakfast, a local guide will accompany you to the Underground River, where you board a boat to explore the cave system and underground waterway. The tour typically takes several hours; you'll return for lunch and have free time to rest or explore the city at your own pace.
On your final day, you'll have breakfast before being transferred back to the airport for departure. The pace is leisurely — this isn't a packed itinerary, but rather a chance to experience the main landmark and soak in the coastal setting without rushing between multiple sites.

Good to know
This package works well for travellers wanting a low-stress introduction to Puerto Princesa, or for anyone keen to see the Underground River without organising logistics separately. It's not suitable if you have significant heart or respiratory issues, or if you're pregnant — the cave environment and boat navigation require reasonable physical capacity. Weather can affect the river tour; if it's cancelled, you'll only get a refund for that specific component, not the full package. Breakfast and lunch are included, but other meals and drinks are your responsibility. Room capacity is three guests maximum. Airport transfers, a guide, and all taxes are built in. Note that souvenir photos are sold separately. Accommodation check-out and final transfer timing should be confirmed at booking.
