Cudugnon Cave
Cudugnon Cave is a limestone cave on Tour B that holds major archaeological significance. Prehistoric burial sites and artifacts dating back 5,000 years were discovered here, including human remains, pottery, and stone tools, evidence of some of the earliest human habitation in Palawan.
The cave is relatively small but dramatic, with stalactites and a wide entrance framing a view of the sea. Tour guides explain the archaeological finds and the cave's importance in understanding the migration of early humans through Southeast Asia.
It's a quick stop (15-20 minutes) but adds a fascinating cultural dimension to the island-hopping experience.

The boat anchors off a white sand cove and you walk in. The entrance is a small gap low in the rock that is easy to miss, and you squeeze through before the cave opens into a tall chamber lit from a hole in the ceiling.
-
Go at low tide. At high tide the cave fills with seawater and getting in is much harder.
