Notes

• According to the staff of PPUR Office they now have an allotment of 100 slots solely for walk-in visitors. This makes the success of getting a permit through walk-in or do-it-yourself higher.
• If you’re planning to do the walk-in to get the PPUR permit it is best that you visit the PPUR Office as soon as you get to Puerto Princesa.
• There’s a higher probability of success if you schedule your visit to the PPUR on Monday to Thursday and avoid holidays.

I hope this helps when you visit the Underground River when you Do-It-Yourself.

Update Log

December 08, 2012

Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) Office is no longer located near Badjao Inn. They already moved to the City Coliseum. El Nido ETDF and Accommodation receipts from Port Barton are no longer honored. Staying overnight in Sabang is also no longer honored. The only way now to get a permit is to visit the PPUR Office at the City Coliseum.

This post is part of my 12 for 2012 Travel Project which aims to document places in the Philippines to help travellers.
