Sabang is a small village in Palawan, Philippines. It is used as an entry point to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. There's not much in the village except services for those going to visit the river, but there is a beach and a chilled out atmosphere.

[edit] By bus/jeepney

Daily buses/jeepneys to Puerto Princesa between 7am and 2pm. The bus costs roughly 200 pesos and takes about 3 hours. Air-con minivans can also be hired.

[edit] Boat

All boats out of Sabang are bankas subject to weather conditions. Boats to Port Barton for around 1000-1200 piso - ask at the pier. Boats to El Nido for around 1500-2000 piso and take around 6 hours - ask at the pier.

[edit] Car

Ask in the village or at the Tourist Information & Assistance Centre (8am-5pm) to hire a driver.

[edit] Get around

Sabang is very small so everything in the village is within walking distance. To get to the underground river you need to hire a boat from the pier, or walk along the jungle trail/monkey trail (about 5km and 1-2 hours).

[edit][add listing] Sleep

• Mary's Beach Resort, (At the very end of the beach.), ☎ 0920 432 1139. checkin: 12pm; checkout: 12pm. Good place to relax during the day but the simple nipa huts are extremely rundown inside. Cracks in the floor and let mosquito's in, a hole in the floor serving as the shower drain did the same. It's cheap and it's got character but is not for the fainthearted. 350-500.  edit

• Daluyon Beach & Mountain Resort, ☎ (0927) 316-5513 / (0917) 826-9989, [1]. A beautiful resort on the beach.
