A 3 to 4-day stay is usually enough to explore the main attractions like the Underground River, Honda Bay, and city sights. If you plan to take side trips to other parts of Palawan, you may want to extend your visit. The city is a good starting point for exploring the island.
Underground River Palawan
To help conserve the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River and its wildlife, officials restrict the number of visitors each day. This helps keep the ecosystem intact and ensures people can enjoy the park for years to come. To take the Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour, tourists must obtain a permit, which takes about three days to process. Travel agencies can arrange this in advance to secure a spot.
