We were fortunate enough to have joined a group in this travel who rented out a van to go to Sabang, Puerto Princessa, and who also had he intention of stopping by Ugong Rock for caving, rock climbing and zip lining after we're done with the Underground River Tour.
Ugong Rock is a huge rock sitting atop plain lands. It got it's name "ugong"which means "deep sound", and it produces that kind of sound when you knock on its walls. It's actually a huge, hollow rock, and when you get inside, it would feel like you are in a cave.
We paid PhP500 each to explore the "cave", climb up from inside and zipline going down. The fee includes the guides, and the rental of the hard hat, harness and gloves. You also have the option not to zip line, and pay only PhP200, but you would have to rappel going down.
After the orientation, we were asked to put on our gears and followed the guide.
We had to work our way up and sometimes had to use ropes and ladder as some paths were so steep.
Other times, we had to crawl as the opening was so low.
And most of the times, we had to wriggle our way through...
And grit our teeth as we come out...
But it was all worth it in the end, especially when you see this view...
So I had to stop and take a photo...
Before we zip lined downwards...
And that was how we ended our Puerto Princessa adventure on a high note. Literally!
