Recently hailed as one of the New
7 Wonders of Nature, the Underground River located inside a national
park, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is approximately 2 hours
north of the city proper. On your way to the area, be amazed at the
splendid top view of Ulugan Bay, and marvel at the karst limestone
mountains and elephant cave.
From Sabang wharf, a motorized boat
will take you to the entrance of the national park for 20 minutes. A
boardwalk winding through dense jungle thickets will lead you to the
mouth of the cave. There a boatman who will also serve as your guide
will show you the wonders waiting for you inside.

cave would cover the first kilometer of this 8.2 km underground river
known to be the longest navigable in the world which would last for
about 45-60 minutes.
