Underground River Tour - Definitely worth it! - Amazing experience! Finished normal tour (1.5km) and wanted to book “deep” tour (4.3). Amazing geology and millions of bats, all while sitting comfortably in a small boat / large canoe. They take environmental protection seriously, so no motors on the boats or floodlights mounted in the cave. Boatman paddles the boat and has a headlamp to show off features of the cave. Information is provided by a museum-style personal audio guide, to minimize noise disturbances in the cave. Tour starts with a motorized boat trip from the boat dock to the entrance to the park, followed by a short walk to where you get your hard hat and audio guide, and board the boat for the cave tour itself. Entertainment during the walk is provided by macaques and monitor lizards roaming the forest. After the cave tour, there is an easy 3.5km jungle trail for those who want an equal immersion in the above-ground environment. The hardest part of the tour is the 30-45 minute wait at the dock for the first boat ride. It’s hot and there may or may not be a seat in the shade. But there are cold drinks, ice cream and clean-enough restrooms, so this is no more than a minor inconvenience.

Amazing experience - The under ground river was a great experience- our guide & driver were great & clearly explained what was going to happen. The underground river system was amazing with all its large chambers & waterways. Everything was well organised including pick up & drop off at our hotel.

Extraordinary place - It was an incredible experience! A real wonder of nature! If you are a nature lover and you are in Palawan you can't miss this unique place! You have an Audio guide that will provide you a lot of information and a boat guide that will help you not miss what the Audio guide is explaining. It's a very safe trip planned by the organizer. It worths every penny even thought it's not expensive

Fun & Interesting - We lucked out that we didn't have to wait to experience the underground river, but we have heard of very long wait times. The cave audio tour is fun and tLunch was a nice, big buffet and the zipline experience was so fun! I am usually scared of such an activity and I had a great time, it was managed very well.

Zip line add on is a scam don’t do it - DO NOT BUY the zip line it’s a scam . You will have to walk uphill for 2miles (4.7km) the whole walk to get to the zip line is 40 minutes and the you also have to walk back. Their will be no water during this whole hike uphill though the hot forest. Then you literally have to swim through the ocean back. They do not tell you this so many people where in regular clothes and had their phones. I was bitten by mosquitoes and had wet clothes for the whole car ride back (2hrs) . The cave tour was fine as advertised and my guide was perfect and very nice !
