INFORMATIONS ABOUT SABANG JUNGLE COTTAGE
Our place is sustainable and environmentally friendly. In Sabang there now electricity support, but still many generators in use. We are yet the only one here to use additional solar energy. In contrast to other accommodation we offer 24/7 electricity (there electricity is only available until 8 pm, as the generators are turned off in the evening).
The way to us is partly in bad conditions and in the evening not illuminated, We are in a quiet corner of Sabang, about 10 min to walk from the center. Vissiting us please bring enough cash (there is only one ATM in Sabang) and flashlight for walking at night.
PUERTO PRINCESA SUBTERRANEAN RIVER NATIONAL PARK
This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia.
It is listed in the Worrld Heritage Sites of UNESCO
Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park

Going Underground River
Coming from Puerto Princesa City (PPC), there are few vans leaving at Van Terminal (New Market), it takes about 90 min. In the late afternoon there are no vans going. Enjoy lonely beaches and when you go to the Underground River, be one of the first at 6.30 am to avoid the crowd.
If you want to visit the famous Underground River by yourself without a tour, you can get a permit now directly in Sabang since February 2020! It is about 1.500 Peso per person (02/2020)
Visiting the Underground River
There are guided tours from PPC. They pick you up early morning, takes 2 hours to get there. Expect a big crowd at the harbour (because all vans come at the same time) and hundreds of people waiting. So it can take you a few hours to wait until your boat is leaving. After the trip you just stay there in Sabang doing nothing for few hours until you hit back again for 2 hours.
So better organize the trip by yourself. Check in advance if the park is open! http://ppur.com.ph/ (if you book on this page, you will be forwarded to a booking tour with van, not just the entrance!)
If you book our Garden Paradise Cottage in PPC, we can help you to get a public van to Sabang for 200 Peso p.P., takes 90 min. You should stay in Sabang at least for 2 nights. Enjoy lonely beaches at your 1st day, 2nd day go Underground River, as one of the first at 6 am to avoid the crowd. Afternoon you can do a walk to amazing Zipline and Mangrove exploring (cheap and interesting!) and enjoy again beautiful lonely beaches. If you go to Sabang waterfall, depending on the season, it might be dried and after walking for one hour on slippery rocks you might be disappointed.
