Sabang Mangrove Forest was a beautiful surprise! I learned so much about mangroves and their importance, spotted three different snakes, and even paddled a boat by myself. Peaceful, green, and full of life. If you’re visiting the Underground River, stop here for 30 minutes — it’s worth it!

I booked it with local tour agency Eagle Eye Tours lovely last Bing, very helpful. No waiting for me I arrived around 12:00 on a bike which was provided by Agency. You can also walk there from Four Points by Sheraton it takes around 15min. Nice place to see.

Our tour drop took part in the boat tour as we had a 2 hour wait for the Puerto Princessa Underground River tour. There were 8 of us on the boat, plus one guide who narrated the tour and one boatmans to row. The narration gives information about mangrove swamps and how they contribute to the environment. The guide also mentioned animals that lived in the swamps. We even spotted a snake.
I highly recommend buying insect repellent. The swamp is full of mosquitoes.

An interesting ecological and environmental area in which the guided tours can give you some neat glimpses into the natural beauty and creatures found in the mangroves. The tour guides are knowledgeable, but some "religious science" could've been left out or presented as folklore rather than facts.

The mangrove forest in Sabang is calm, beautiful, and a nice change of pace from the usual beach spots. This is a stopover of our Underground River tour. The paddle boat is relaxing and the guides share cool info about the mangroves and local wildlife. It’s a quiet, nature-focused experience—great if you like slower, eco-friendly activities. You can see some snakes, monkeys and some exotic birds along the journey.
