Sabang is an easy destination from Puerto Princesa. One could take a bus from San Jose station near Puerto Princesa or can book an underground river tour from Puerto Princesa, do the tour which takes about 2 hours, and then check into the hotel (this is what I did). The undergroung river tour is interesting, the most exciting part for me was getting there by boat which can be pretty exciting. Staying 3 days is about minimum. I met a guy who was going to stay 3 days and he's been there for 3 weeks.
The big draw of Sabang is the underground river but there is so much more to see. The waterfall is a leasurly hike which entails about 1 km along a rocky beach which is great for finding cool shells and corals. The monkey trail is a moderate hike which takes you to the underground cave. The jungle trail is about a 10 km loop that joins with the monkey trail and is entails about 100 meters constant elevation change which sometimes involves moderate climbing - this is for the more adventurous.
From Sabang there is a boat you can take directly to El Nido.
Getting to Underground River
Getting to the Underground River involves a beach landing - this can be the most exciting part of the day!Because it was during the low season, you need to charter a special boat for 15,000 pesos. We had 6 people and it took 6 hours with great views and a nice stop over at a beach for some rest and recreation.
