Galing kumuha ni Kuya Bankero. Excellent 🙂 |
Wake up call is at 5:00 am, and it’s just 4:00 am, and everyone’s is all up and ready for the trip. Instead of the arranged packed breakfast, everyone opted for eating it early at the restaurant.

We are scheduled for pick up at 6:00 am because we are scheduled for 9:00 am underground river tour at Sabang Palawan. Yes, it’s a 3-hour van ride not to mention that the road is a bit tummy challenging. If you get dizzy easily with zigzag road trips, better take some medicines an hour before the trip or bring a dizzy pack/plastic with you.
Pasensya na po, the sasakyan is moving eh. |
Half way there will be a short stop for a pee break and a few minutes of stretching, before the next hour of travel heading Sabang. I recommend buying this purple kakanin. It actually tastes like a “suman bulanghoy” (sticky cassava cake wrapped in banana leaf). It does look like “puto bong bong” but it’s different. It’s almost like “piche-piche” but a bit sturdier. It has a “buko” (coconut) jam inside. It’s yummy and good to feel in your stomach if ever you get hungry while on the road.
Sensya na po, hindi po photographer ang kumuha 🙂 Pero at least kuha naman ang sign 🙂 |
ATTENTION: When you reach the destination, do not eat anything or don’t bring anything in plastics. There are a lot of monkeys living in the area. And anything plastic or even noise of plastic sounds food for them. Do not feed the animals as well most especially the packed ones because it may be harmful to their health. Do not provoke the monkeys too even just for fun, as it may harm you in defense.
Galing talaga ni Kuya 🙂 |
You’ll be asked to wear a helmet and hop on a smaller boat to get you ready to enter the Underground River. It’s a guided tour with the boat driver (driver talaga? Bankero pwede?)that serves as your wacky tour guide and sets your expectations on what to see inside. They have this skits and descriptions out of this world, fun and full of facts.

There will be photographers around to take pictures of you before you get in and after you came out of this cave-like structure. You can surely make a pose and have it printed in their printing area for 250 pesos each (expensive it is). But if you have that budget it’s a good memorabilia, most especially if you don’t have your own standby photographer.
- 1.High tide
- 2. The 2weather disturbance like a typhoon or heavy rains that may lead to the fast increase of water level inside the cave.
- 3. Crying kids. Since it’s cave, it’s very dark, and kids may freak out once inside. If that happens, the trip will be canceled, and you might ruin the vacation/trip of the other guests in your banca. So kids are not allowed inside most especially children below 5 years old.
