This effort helps minimize disturbances to the species living in the area and ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the national park. Only tourists with a permit can take the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River Tour. The permit usually takes about three days to process, and travel agencies can arrange it in advance to guarantee a slot on the day of your tour.
