Byaheng PalawanTours & Experiences in Palawan

Community-Based Sustainable Tourism (CBST) is a model where local communities manage and benefit directly from tourism activities. In Puerto Princesa, there are over 30 CBST sites offering authentic experiences—from firefly watching in Iwahig to bamboo rafting on the Maoyon River—where 100% of fees support local families, artisans, and environmental conservation.

Puerto Princesa is home to the UNESCO Underground River, Honda Bay island hopping, Ugong Rock caves and ziplines, Sabang mangrove tours, and beaches like Nagtabon. You can visit Batak indigenous communities and explore bays and viewpoints around the city—sights that deserve more than a one-night stopover.

Unlike mass tourism packages focused on the Underground River, we curate experiences across 30+ CBST sites that directly support local livelihoods. Our tours are designed with "Kapwa" (shared humanity) philosophy—you're not just a tourist, but a welcomed guest experiencing authentic Palawan culture, crafts, and cuisine with the people who call it home.

Every booking directly supports Puerto Princesa communities. Tour fees go to local guides, artisan cooperatives, and conservation programs. We partner with Weaving Ecosystems and Iconik Palawan to ensure ethical, sustainable practices. By choosing CBST experiences, you help preserve indigenous culture and create livelihood opportunities beyond traditional tourism jobs.

Beyond the Underground River (limited to 900 visitors/day), Puerto Princesa offers incredible alternatives: Ugong Rock Adventures for caving and ziplines, Sabang Mangrove Paddle Boat tours, Iwahig Firefly Watching, Honda Bay island hopping, Nagtabon Beach, and immersive visits to Batak indigenous villages. These CBST sites offer unique experiences without the crowds.
