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.
Subterranean River Puerto Princesa
As part of environmental conservation efforts, the Puerto Princesa Underground River imposes a daily visitor limit. This helps minimize disruption to wildlife and ensures that this national park remains a cherished destination for years to come. A permit, which takes three days to process, is required for the Subterranean River Puerto Princesa Tour. Many local travel agencies offer advance booking services to guarantee a hassle-free visit.
