My husband, me and my good friend have been visited together this “Longest Navigable Underground River in the World” which is located in St. Paul National Park in the province of Palawan, Philippines. One time, my husband, my friend and I did roam around in Puerto Princessa and we saw the tourist information and we found out what to do and we decided to visit and see the underground river. On the next day we did had a tour guide and road a van going to Sabang where the underground river is about 25-30 minutes away by boat. It took for us about 4-5 hours to arrived in that place and the good thing we had a good tour guide telling us the story and she is quite talkative and friendly. It was somewhat far away but we stopped by to buy some food, buy coffee and relax a little bit etc. I estimated we paid the tour for 3 of us about 7,000 pesos which about $150 and I am not sure right now how much is it but the food is included of our tour which we had buko (coconut) juice, crabs, rice, veggies, chicken etc. (yummy) and that was for our lunch. Anyway, we did ride a boat going to Underground River for about 25-30 minutes if I am not mistaken and the tour was about an hour in Underground River and the water is brackish water. The River features a limestone karts mountain landscape with an 8.2 km. or 5.1 miles long navigable underground river. A distinguishing feature of the river is that it winds through a cave before flowing directly into the South China Sea. The lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. The underground river is reputed to be the worlds longest. Furthermore, during our tour we wore life jacket and a helmet for safety which is necessary too and the tour provides it. During our tour we had fun as we can see different rocks formation and one funny thing that I remembered the tour guide in the underground river said “vegetable section” (he-he) looking the veggie formation makes me hungry. We had wonderful time during our tour which was great and it was unforgettable experienced.
