Now known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, it was the Underground River when we visited in 2000.  Very beautiful area with lots of wildlife, great harbour and beach and interesting cave.  There were lots of monkeys who loved to steal our bananas.   They also gave the resident Monitor lizards (Komodo Dragons) a hard time.  While the monitor lizards were docile to humans when we were there, we felt sorry for them because of the harassment they received from the monkeys.

After a morning at the Underground River, we hired a private banca to take is up to El Nido.
