From relaxed (low) to ones where you need to be fit to join in.
LowNo surprises here. These tours/activities are those most anyone can do if they are fine with fairly flat walks and getting in and out of transport.
MediumLike to be active, even very active, but not pushed too far. This is the one for you.
HighThese tours/activities require you to be very fit. Probably not suitable for children.
Some tours or activities are a total immersion ... others offer just a taste of a different way of life. Below is how we\'ve classified things to help you make a selection.
LowConsider these tours or activities as unlikely to surprise. They will still give you fantastic insight into the destination and/or a great experience.
MediumYou might find yourself on these tours/activities confronted by quite a different way of doing things to that you are familiar with. Think food, language, customs, religions, mode of transport. For the slightly more adventurous.
HighThink things you probably wouldn\'t do on your own ...

Some Information about Palawan's Underground River:
Visitor Limitation Policy: Early Booking is a must (at least a month prior to arrival) to avoid disappointment, as there is only a very limited number of people, per day, given permits to visit this natural wonder.
This limitation was made in an effort by the local government to lessen the environmental impact that humans may bring to the natural habitat of endangered species which are endemic to the Underground Cave and surrounding Park.
Government Taxes and Service Charges: Are already included in the per Person Rates. The Environmental Tax is collected separately upon pick up, and covers both the Underground River Tour and Honda Bay Tours
