Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour

May 2015: Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour in Sabang, Puerto Princesa, Palawan

July 17, 2015 by Josiah 4 Comments

We arrived at Sabang for our Underground River Tour a little bit late so we got a queue number that would makenus wait for a significant amount of time. Our guide suggested that instead we bore ourselves to death, we could actually do some sidetrips in Sabang. We targetted the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour and Sabang X Zipline.

We rode again the van then back on the road and turned right to a guarded gate. I already done the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour before (read here) and this is my first time riding a van to get there that’s why the gate is a surprise to me. It says on the gate that we would need to pay a fee for us to pass by (I forgot how much was it.) Our group paid the fee since we will be passing by the private road. We reached the road parallel to the shore of Sabang and the van turned onto another gate which we need to pay another 10 Pesos/person except when your are doing the Sabang X Zipline. Since we were passing by private properties we had to respect the owner’s decision to use their facility for a fee.

Finally we arrived at the starting point for the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour. Some of us decided to do the Sabang X Zipline (550 Pesos/person), while we decided to do the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour.

10:49 AM – We registered, paid the fee of 350 Pesos/person, then given our lifevests and were guided to where we will ride their paddle boat.

When we were on the boat they first fetched umbrellas so that the sunlight would not be too much for us. They did not have this on my first visit to the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour.

My brother and I were documenting the eastern side lodging of Sabang when we saw the jump-off for the Mangrove Paddle Boat Tour. We were planning to do the tour early next morning but since we were already there, might as well go on with the tour.

We paid 150 Pesos each on their office, wore the life vest they gave us and rode the boat.

We were accompanied by Ate Cristina and Kuya Cristofer as our tour guides, which was really fun because they explained almost all the detail of the Mangrove Forest and why they were proud to have it in Sabang.

Did you know that the Mangrove Forest serves as a filter and protective covering from the sea and the land?

The Mangrove Forest breaks the waves before it reaches the land. It also serves as a blocker for the strong winds during a storm. In fact, the tour still operates during a storm but not during a very strong typhoon.
