Discover the Mysteries of Tabon Caves

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start your journey in Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan. Take the National Highway (also known as the Puerto Princesa - San Vicente Road) heading north. After approximately 90 kilometers, you will reach the town of Quezon. Look out for road signs indicating the direction to the Tabon Caves. The final leg of the journey involves a turn onto a dirt road that leads directly to the caves. Parking is available near the entrance, but be mindful of the local wildlife.

• Bus

  For those opting for public transportation, head to the San Jose Bus Terminal in Puerto Princesa. Take a bus heading to San Vicente or El Nido. Inform the conductor you wish to stop at Quezon. The fare is approximately PHP 200-250 and the journey takes around 2-3 hours. Once you arrive in Quezon, you can hire a tricycle or a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) to take you to the Tabon Caves. The fare for this short trip is around PHP 100-150.

• Tricycle/Habal-Habal

  Once in Quezon, if you didn't take a bus directly to the caves, you can catch a tricycle or habal-habal. These are widely available at the town center. Make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey; it typically costs around PHP 100-150 for the ride to the caves. The trip should take about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to ask the driver to wait for you if you plan to explore the caves, as public transport options may be limited.
