Puerto Princesa Subterranean River

Bernadette Lopez has produced a virtual tour and mini documentary of the Puerto Princesa subterranean or Underground river and park.  The actual video is much better than the introduction would suggest with lots of background information including the archeological origins of its formation as well as all the facts and figures. The real video starts with touchdown in Puerto Princesa with your first view of Palawan from the window of an airplane as it lands.  We then jump to the boat ride from Sabang Beach to the landing at the National park and then to the departure point for the underground river.  This video includes a lot more than just the Underground River being more of a promotion for Palawan.  If you are thinking of visiting Palawan this video gives you a good overview of all the attractions the Island has to offer.

How to get to the
Underground River

The Underground River is located only 50 kilometers north of the island capital Puerto Princesa which has a airport with daily flight from Manila & Cebu International Airports

For years the Underground River was accessible to only dedicated adventures who were prepared to travel for hours in four-wheel drives along dirt and then stay in primitive accommodation.

The great news is new roads have been made enabling visitors to travel in comfort and safety to Sabang in half the time, but it just got even better with the opening this year of the new Sheridan Beach Resort right in the heart of Sabang.
