At 800 metres long and 150 feet above sea level, the Puerto Princesa Sabang X Zipline will whizz you through the air along Sabang Beach, right next to Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park! It involves taking a 10-15 minute hike from the Sabang Mangrove forest, up the tiny mountain and then, well, you just throw yourself off!
Is the Sabang X Zipline worth it?
Yes! Sabang is one of my favourite Palawan tourist spots and visiting here is one of the best things to do in Puerto Princesa. If you’re travelling with someone and you’re not getting on very well with them, you might want to throw them off of this actually. In all honesty though, it’s like one of those smooth duck rides that you pop your child on at the theme park whilst you’re riding the latest hair-raising white knuckle roller-coaster. I found it to be pretty gentle, relaxing and calm.
It’s very beautiful and a great opportunity to take all of the beach and mountains in after visiting the Puerto Princesa Underground River. I was with two super lovely British people at the time, Craig and his mum Liz and Liz was cool as a a cucumber. If Liz can get herself down the Sabang zipline, you can too!

Teacake’s Top tip
Don’t worry about your valuables – there’s a zip bag on the side of your belt that you can put your most prized possessions in. Anything else which you’re willing to donate to the sea, can stay in your bag if you have one :)
How much is it?
I recommend spending the whole day out here on the Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour and opting for the Sabang Adventure Package. This includes Sabang Mangrove Forest, the Underground River and Sabang X Zipline together with transport and food included! If you are out here on your own though, you can ride the zipline for 550 pesos. The superman position costs an extra 200.
Don’t leave home without travel insurance!
Before you leave, please make sure that you have your travel insurance sorted and the confirmation safely saved in case of an emergency. I always travel with insurance (and have had to use it a number of times). Get a quote now and be safe.

Huuzah!
This zipline looks like so much fun. They have a little bag to put in personal belongings, you say. The best part is that there’s a superman position that costs an extra 200 :) :) No outfit, I’m guessing…
I love these clear answers! Ex: “There’s a zip bag on the side of your belt that you can put your most prized possessions in. Anything else which you’re willing to donate to the sea, can stay in your bag if you have one :)” HAH! Hope you didn’t learn the hard way on this one…
Oooooh thankfully I didn’t Lillie. That would be a total nightmare!
Sounds like an exciting adventure. I’m not a fan of extreme activities like this, I prefer to drink coffee and watch my kids do it. I’m glad you had a good time. The little personal bag is a nice touch. I hope you didn’t loose anything on the ride.
We have been wanting to go zip lining in Costa Rica, but now we may have to go in Puerto Princesa since the Phillipines is on the Bucket List. The underground river sounds like it would be amazing as well. Although I am a little worried that Darcee might push me off the cliff – better visit Sabang Ziplining at the beginning of the trip!
Bwahahaha yep, watch out for Darcee!
I love riding ziplines, and would not hesitate to try out the Puerto Princesa Sabang Zipline. Your photos do a great job of showing the views and just how fun it would be — thanks for sharing them!
You’re welcome Tami! Is a ton of fun and worth going :)
I love ziplining, so this would be a great activity for me. It looks like you have incredible scenery all along the way too. So fun!
It’s a ton of fun Laura :) Recommend you have a try if you’re in Puerto Princesa!
I’ve never been on a zipline- I’m completely terrified of heights. But I have to say, this one looks quite fun. It looks like an amazing place to spend the day!
Ah bless you Janine. I can assure you that it’s safe and really is not as terrifying as it looks. Maybe something to try if you want to push your boundaries a little? :)
We will be in Puerto Princessa in a few months and were looking at this as an option. Do you know if kids can go on it?
Hi Kevin! They sure can go on it :)
Ziplining in Puerto Princesa does seem nice and inviting, thanks to the detailed info and pictures. The fanny pack for valuables is surely welcomed by everyone.
Thanks Ozzy!
I a a huge fan of Ziplining. Did it recently in Meghalaya, India. Bookmarking this one when I will be visiting Puerto Princesa.
Awesome! You’ll have a ton of fun :)
