Unesco World Heritage Site: At the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, visitors on the guided boat tour travel through a subterranean cave system featuring large chambers, stalactites and stalagmites.

Small wonder that this gem of an island has been repeatedly voted as the cleanest and greenest province in the country, thanks to its anti-littering laws.
