Subterranean River

As a measure for environmental conservation, authorities control how many tourists can visit Puerto Princesa Underground River each day. This helps protect the wildlife and keeps this national park beautiful for future generations. Anyone wanting to take the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River Tour must get a permit, which takes about three (3) days to process and may lake longer during peak season. Advance booking through a local travel agency may help secure a slot.

Can I see wildlife in Puerto Princesa?

Yes, visit the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center or the Irawan Eco Park. You may encounter crocodiles, bearcats, and various bird species, including the endemic Palawan peacock-pheasant.

Is there a dress code for tours or restaurants?

Casual wear is acceptable in most places, but modest clothing is encouraged, especially when visiting rural communities or churches. For island hopping or beach trips, bring swimwear and a cover-up.

What currency is used in Puerto Princesa?

The official currency is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Most establishments accept only pesos, so it’s important to exchange foreign currency at the airport or local money changers.

Is there nightlife in Puerto Princesa?

Yes, but it’s relatively laid-back compared to larger cities. You’ll find beach bars, live music, and casual hangouts in the city center. Night tours like firefly watching are also popular.

Do I need a visa to visit Puerto Princesa?

If you’re a tourist from a visa-exempt country (such as the U.S., Canada, most of Europe, and ASEAN nations), you can stay in the Philippines for up to 30 days without a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Longer stays require a visa...
