Palawans Top Attraction
The top attraction in Palawan is the Underground River which is navigable by boat for 8.2 km or over 5 miles. Nowhere else in the world can you experience such a subterranean adventure. For many years the thrill of Palawan’s Underground River was only available for those willing to take the four wheel drive journey (only 50 km from Palawan’s capital city Puerto Princesa but it took half the day in wet season) and then often had to stay overnight in primitive accommodation.

Now the Palawan Underground River has been proposed as one of the 7 new wonders of the world and the number of visitors wanting to see it has exploded. During 2008-2009 the Road were paved making the trip much safer and far more comfortable.

A new 5 Star environmentally friendly Hotel has just been opened at Sabang which is the launching pad for a trip to the underground river and many other attractions in the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.
