Great friendly guides really fun day
Thank you for your positive review! We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again. Again Thank you from world holiday travel and tours.
The cave tour is exellent. But the travel and waiting time is very long-Used to much time to pickup people in Puerto Princesa Recommend to select another tour operator.
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that the waiting time to enter the Underground River cave is not controlled by any tour operator. Entry to the cave is fully managed by the government. The schedule and release of boats depend on weather conditions, tide situation, and safety assessments. The Coast Guard and local authorities carefully check sea conditions and ensure it is safe for passengers before allowing boats to depart. Safety is always the top priority. For this reason, wherever you book your tour does not affect the waiting time or cave entry. The deciding factors are government regulations, weather, tides, and overall passenger safety—not the tour agency. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for choosing the Underground River experience.
The trip was awesome. We had Moll for our tour guide and he was full of information. Our driver, we can't remember his name, was the best, bring us safely to and from our destination. The views were awesome going there. The cavern was huge and the stalags were amazing. Pictures we took of our trip did not do it justice. Amazing trip and amazing tour guides. God is amazing!
In behalf of World Holiday Travel and Tours - tour operator in puerto princesa city i would like to thank you It means a lot that you took the time to share your feedback. Guests like you make what we do so rewarding, and we truly appreciate your support. Thank you for the review.
Fabulous experience... Long day lots of people but well worth it... Bus ride, boat ride and caves were all very very good
The tour guide is so humble about their work to be educated for tourism and earn a decent living and proud of it. The boat ride to get to the place to ride the boat to underground river is very choppy and could make passengers seasick. Over all it's fun and exciting tour one of the great adventures of our travel in the Philippines super funtime.
Excellent day out! The river is beautiful and worth seeing. The audio guide is very good. The bats are very sweet, as are the monkeys too!!!
The tour was well organized and the guide was great. It is worth noting that that travel and wait for the boat ride consumed majority of the tour time unfornately. The boat ride to the caves was about 30 minutes and the cave visit was roughly 45 minutes. The cave itself was fantastic and worth the visit.
Our tour to a fantastic natural wonder was well organised and enjoyably experienced by all participants.
I think the river was cool. The van and driver were great. The tour guide was decent. The thing that kind of killed it was the waiting in lines constantly. I probably waited in lines half of the total 8 hours. It would've been better if there was ways to fill that time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience was impacted by the wait time, and we completely understand your frustration. The scheduling and processing times that caused the delay are managed by the government , and unfortunately, these are beyond our control. While we always strive to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience, we are sometimes at the mercy of Underground river management or the government systems and schedules, which can be subject to unexpected changes or delays. The decision to which boat enters first and scheduling are within the government system , which unfortunately is outside of our control. We recognize that this can affect the overall experience, and we are always looking for ways to improve. In response to this, we have a 3 in 1 tour an alternative tour option that includes activities like the Ugong Cave and Zipline, as well as a Mangrove Tour. These experiences are designed to make your wait more enjoyable and provide additional value while you’re in the area. We genuinely appreciate your understanding, and we hope that despite the delays, you were still able to enjoy some of the other highlights of your trip. Thank you again for your patience and for choosing to tour with us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a smoother and more seamless experience.
Fun trip for all. Anna was a great host. The cave was an impressive experience and the area surrounding it was very beautiful.
