- Selena B0 contributionsAn amazing and unique cultural experience that I’ve never had before!I did this tour with a tour guide leading me along the way. At first I was hesitant because I was doing this alone and there aren’t too many reviews on this tour, if any, but I’m so glad I trusted my gut and went because I got to experience the lives of the indigenous Filipinos for the day. The tribe was so friendly and welcoming, the motor bike ride to get to the village was a jaw dropping scenery, they welcomed me by performing a few dances allowing me to join it, they let me explore their village and homes, and they answered any questions that I had. I think this is a hidden gem tour that almost everyone I spoke to in Puerto Princesa knew nothing about. This is an amazing and unique cultural experience that I’ve never had before and I embraced it with an open mind and open heart. If you go I recommend bringing things to give to them such as snacks, candy, donations, anything, they really appreciated it. Also, bring water shoes, you’ll be walking across a few lakes. One thing I wished the tour guide would have done was to go deeper into the history of who the Batak tribe is so that I could learn historical facts about them.Written January 22, 2023
- lainechris610 contributions4 days stay plus UR tourOverall good value for the money as it is also neat and clean.Hassle free transaction, ideal for family or groups that are looking for a peaceful place to stay after a tiring day at tour 😊Written August 3, 2022
- Lennie T0 contributionsA One-day Tour To See Puerto Princesa's Nearest White Sand Beach Along With The Most Popular City AttractionsNagtabon Beach is white, smooth, and with no rocks just like Boracay's. The only downside is that it has no tourist-class bathroom and toilet facilities as of now. Maybe the Philippine government can do something about this. The tour guide arrived promptly for the hotel pick-up and was very engaging and knowledgeable about the itineraries. Packed food for lunch was delectable too. And of course, the pasalubong desserts and pastries from Bakers Hill are simply yummy.Written July 22, 2022
- Sophie_eva_90 contributionsNice evening.Nice evening, the dinner was very good and our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable . We spent a lot of time sitting around waiting and saw only a handful of fireflys how ever the river cruise it's self is still lovely. Would recommend going in the summer so you can see more firefly's as well as the bioluminescent plankton.Written August 18, 2019

The private transfer from the hotel arrived on time. The van was clean and the driver was polite, Our guide was also very entertaining and helpful. It was convenient and we did appreciate the fact that we had the whole van for ourselves.
On the way to the Underground River, we dropped by Buenavista view deck which had a lovely panoramic view of Ulugan Bay. We also had a private boat transfer from the port to the Underground River National Park where we joined other tourists for the 45-min paddle boat ride to the Underground River.
The guided paddle boat takes you across the underground river. For around 45 minutes, you get to explore the deep, vast & dark cave, and witness unique rock formations. From stalagmites and stalactites shaped in different unique and entertaining forms- it was indeed an experience.
The tour included an expert (and hilarious) guide who navigated us inside plus an audio guide (you can choose in different languages). This tour is a must for a Palawan trip.

Anthea was a very informative guide but our entire group arrived early for the day trip but our driver was passed several times and we stopped for a bathroom break for a 1 1/2 hour drive, totally unnecessary. The result was that our group didn't get to do the underground river. Our guide offered a Plan B activity, but, since my husband doesn't like heights or ziplining, he didn't participate. I will be calling for a refund.
