The City Government of Puerto Princesa has managed the National Park since 1992. The entrance to the subterranean river is controlled by local government with regulated boat rides from the nearest village Sabang. Geologists discovered that the underground river has a second floor and small waterfalls inside the cave. They also found a cave dome above the underground river, rock formations, large bats, a deep water hole in the river, and more river channels. Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.<br />
The 8 kilometer river is the longest navigable underground river in the world, winding its way underneath mountains berfore flowing into the South China Sea.

  • Filipino Outrigger - An outrigger is a part of a boat's rigging which is rigid and extends beyond the side or gunwale of a boat. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and parallel to the main hull so that the main hull is less likely to capsize. If only one outrigger is used on a vessel, its weight reduces the tendency to capsize in one direction and its buoyancy reduces the tendency in the other direction.

  • Filipino Outrigger - An outrigger is a part of a boat's rigging which is rigid and extends beyond the side or gunwale of a boat. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and parallel to the main hull so that the main hull is less likely to capsize. If only one outrigger is used on a vessel, its weight reduces the tendency to capsize in one direction and its buoyancy reduces the tendency in the other direction.
