Sabang Travel Blogs

I am heading out of town today on a short daytrip to the Sabang underground river which is the longest navigable underground river in the world. There is quite a bit of hype around this river for the moment with some people trying to get it elected as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. …

On our second day in PP, we decided to see the famous underground river in Sabang instead. Take a deep breath - the place is called (inhale) Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (exhale). We booked a tour with our tricycle driver for P1,500 each (for more details about the tour, please …

At the westcoast of Palawan there is a river that had considerable trouble in finding the sea. Too many mountains obscured the view, in particular a mountain shaped like an elephant. So in the end the river just dived under the mountains to the sea. Palawan is very proud of its Sabang Underground R…

A land teeming with diverse terrestial and aquatic life, Palawan is the fabled ecotourism frontier of the Philippines.

Sabang has about 45 boats registered for taking passengers about 5 km (20 min) to the Underground River, but only a few charter boats registered for taking passengers to Port Barton, and El Nido. The voyage to El Nido is very scenic. Depending on the weather, it takes 7-9 hrs. The ROYJEN offers Bay Trolling along the way. A 1-2 night stop-over at Coconut Garden or Port Barton is highly recommended. This voyage is for the young and adventurous, and not recommended for children.
