approximately 2 hours or to get to Sabang Beach where the Underground River is
located. Once you are there, pre registration is needed. Then the local guide will
assist you to board a local banca to get to the river. Boat ride is approximately 10 to
15 minutes. Once you get to the main entrance, you will then transfer to smaller
banca that is customized to be able to enter the river. Your banca captain will also

8.2-kilometer-long underground river boasts jaw-dropping cave formations, stunning
limestone cliffs, and pristine waters, however, only a portion of the river, around
4.3km, is allowed for tourist explorations. The river's complex ecosystem has
adapted to the underground environments over hundreds of years. The variety of
species in the caves is endemic to the river system, including fish, crabs, giant
spiders, bats, swallows, and snakes. But bats and swallows are usually the only
species you'll see. After lunch, transfer back to the city. The rest of the day is free at
leisure.
