PALAWAN ESCAPADE PART III

THIRD DAY (April 3): UNDERGROUND RIVER & UGONG ROCK ADVENTURE

We woke up very early because we have to travel 1-2 hours to go to Sabang Port. For the past three days, we were just commuting in Palawan to save money. If you're in a budget, try to ride Lexus vans located at the terminal. As far as I can remember they charged less than Php 200 for a one way fare, but make sure you booked a day ahead because most of the time it is full.

We arrived at Sabang Port around 10 in the morning, and there are registrations and have to wait for our turn to ride the boat. Sorry, I can't remember the price of the boat and the environmental fee. It took us 15-20 minutes travel from the port to the island where the Underground River is located. There are also monkeys and other animals there. The staffs are very strict in protecting the area and animals.

Its our turn to go inside and everyone was excited that time. We never get bored because we have the noisiest tour guide, and nah I forgot his name. He showed and explained to us everything about the cave and there are division like the cathedral, fruits, and vegetables. I was just in awe during the whole tour and wondering how these rocks formations were made. I can say that Philippines is indeed blessed to have this majestic creature. No wonder why many foreigners love to see Underground River.

After the tour, we went back to the port and have our buffet lunch there. After budgeting (yes again), we decided to try the Ugong Rock Adventure. Its still located at Sabang area but we have to ride a tricycle, but before that we booked already at Lexus Van to pick us in the highway because there is no signal there both networks. 

Ugong Rock Adventure is climbing (through walking, ropes, and improvised stairs) a cave up to its peak and from there you have two options to go down, first is to go back to the way you used going up which is really hassle and second is to take the zipline which I recommend. The superman zipline is what we chose and we landed at Station 2. They offered free ride going to the registration area and Station 1. We waited there until Lexus Van passed. We arrived at the city around 5:30 at the afternoon.

So if you're gonna ask how much we spend on our 3 day tour, its just around 3800 each person. I suggest if you're gonna take a tour, the more, the lesser the expenses. Its just an on the spot plan thats why we did not regret and what's important are the experiences we had during the tour.
