"I found the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River to be a standout natural attraction in Palawan: it stretches over five miles and offers a dramatic underground boat cruise beneath striking rock-formation ceilings." - Caitlin Morton
"A UNESCO World Heritage Site centered on an impressive underground river that winds through an intricate cave system, offering a dramatic, sheltered natural spectacle and serving as a flagship conservation area that underscores the region's biodiversity and appeal to nature-focused visitors." - John Wogan John Wogan John Wogan is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure and a contributing writer at T: The New York Times Style Magazine.

"Puerto Princesa Underground River Puerto Princesa Underground River is set in a protected area of the St. Paul Mountain Range in Palawan. It’s a five-mile stretch of the Cabayugan River that runs through a huge limestone cave and directly into the West Philippine Sea near Sabang village (the bottom half of the river is tidal). Announced as one of the New7Wonders of Nature in 2012, it's hard to fully envision unless you experience it for yourself. Reservations are required for the tours, which enter the underground river on a small boat. The boatman manually paddles you in as the light fades, the water becomes pitch-black, and you almost lose sight of the person beside you. The boatman will then start flashing his tiny light on the stalactites, stalagmites, and other rock formations you pass. The tour takes about 45 minutes and covers only a mile or so of the river (the inner portion is closed to the public)."

"Listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, the 8.2-km Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is an underground waterway with striking cave formations, underground waterfalls and abundant wildlife; the best way to experience it is by boat tour, with an official tour (about 2,200 pesos / US$43 for adults) that includes transfers, guides, entry fees and a buffet lunch." - SilverKris
