The paddled trip through the Underground River runs on a daily permit cap, so the tour you book is really a permit you book. Below are the 15 that handle it properly: which include the van, the boat and the fees, which add Honda Bay or the zipline afterwards, and what the whole day costs.

Paddle the UNESCO Puerto Princesa Underground River, pair it with Sabang Beach, and get lunch and transfers on a 6 to 8 hour Palawan day trip.
“It would be hard to screw up something as incredible as the underground river so I recommend this trip! The guides were very communicative about expectations for wait times, the drive over was comfortable and they were very on top of picking me up at the airport and making sure everyone got to where they needed to go after the trip. The reason this isn't a five star review is because the wording was a little misleading regarding the "forest walk" in the national park.

Puerto Princesa firefly bay cruise with dinner and hotel pickup, mangrove fireflies, and bioluminescent plankton in 4 hours.
“Well organised. Comfortable mini-van pickup. When departing Bay Walk enormous flocks of giant fruit bats flew over us which was amazing. A full moon shone on us and we sailed across the bay. We were in the first group who joined a smaller boat for the mangrove trip and watched the tiny fireflies in the trees like tiny fairy lights. It was amazing. Just like magic one flew over to our boat and landed on it. Then we returned to our main boat and enjoyed a delicious buffet meal, whilst the second group went out to the mangrove. Great evening out. Could do with a little music on our return…”
