Subterranean river that flows to the ocean

Excellent

The National Park Puerto Princesa Underground River, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and one of the new natural wonders of Humanity is a unique underground river that flows into the ocean, and although UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site in the year 1999, is now in its most popular time because it has been named named a New Natural Wonder of the World, which triggered the tourism and makes getting a seat without a booking is a thing of luck. The maximum number of visitors per day is 900, and if you get there without a reservation you are put on a waiting list, and the next day at 8 am you go there to see if you are lucky.The days I was there everyone could get in, I'm not sure that they respect the maximum number because from 8am boats are coming with 8 passengers towards the river every few minutes.

Once you disembark at the beach, you get on a small canoe, maximum 4, and a rower / guide takes you inside the cave to paddle for an hour or so. The cave is illuminated so that comes first in the boat has a powerful source connected to a car battery, and the guide tells him where light to explain the different types of rock formations. The cave is full of bats and swallows, and force you to wear a helmet type of work, if you know that there have been cases of attacks like "The Birds" by Hitchcock or to protect you from the usual shit thereof. Depending on the time of year the river water goes from being completely transparent or brown depending on the rains, the river lead directly into the sea when the cave ends, it is affected by tides.
