TUBBATAHA REEFS
Wildlife
The atoll coral reefs here form a natural wonderland with hundreds of species of seabirds
and fish, including mantas, whale sharks and the full gamut of pelagic marine life. A pro-
tected marine area, it is regarded as a centre of marine biodiversity and has been named a
Unesco World Heritage site.
PUERTO PRINCESA SUBTERRANEAN RIVER NATIONAL PARK
National Park
This park features a subterranean river, which winds 8km into a magnificent limestone
cave, creating the world's longest navigable river-traversed tunnel. After visiting the cave
on a boat tour, energetic souls can return to Sabang on foot along a 5km trail through the
jungle, which climbs steeply over some overgrown limestone karsts.
