About
The Puerto Princesa Underground River winds through a limestone cave system stretching over 8 kilometers beneath the mountains. Visitors board small paddle boats that glide silently into cathedral-like chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites. The cool cave air contrasts beautifully with the tropical heat outside.
