Tour guide was very informative about the underground river, the surrounding nature, and cities on the Palawan island, thanks Jeff!
The underground cave and lake was amazing! Just beware it’s a long day of driving and sitting around. Pick up 8am and drop off at 6pm. 5 hours in a mini van. If you don’t do the optional zip line or the mangrove tour you just have to wait around for 1.5/2 hours for others to do it. In total we did a boat ride to the lake for 15 minutes, the lake/cave kayak for 45 minutes and a boat ride back for 15 minutes. And a lot of waiting around or driving.
Everything was very organized and my tour guide did an amazing job. The underground river was absolutely mesmerizing, would recommend to anyone!
Very good trip with a good guide and drivet
If you do the zip line be prepared to go strait up the hill seamed like 10 miles but not really. Took me 30 minutes but then I'm 80 years old. Lot of resting. But was really fun once I got to the top and got my first zip line ride. The underground river was interesting couldn't take any pictures really dark inside. The guide had a head lamp that highlighted the different designs and the head set explained the the river very well. The lunch was okay a lot to chose from. Wish there more people to help on the zip line climb. Would recommend.
Great guides. Beautiful cave.
Extremely knowledgeable guide, very helpful local knowledge. The cave was a very unique and memorable experience.
A wonderful experience to explore this Unesco site. Deng our guide was friendly and helpful. And the audio system narrative in English was very helpful and informative. I highly recommend the tour for families, couples and solo travellers.
The Puerto Princesa Underground River Tour was well-organized and smooth from start to finish. Inside the cave, the audio guide walked us through the history, geology, and wildlife of the river, which made the experience richer. The rock formations were stunning; overall, a must-do activity. Special mention to our tour guide, who handled the group with impressive professionalism. They managed the schedule well, kept everyone comfortable, and provided clear instructions throughout the tour. Their insights about the history, wildlife, and conservation efforts added so much depth to the experience.
It was absolutely amazing our guide ECHO was so friendly and he really made the experience much better. He helped my grandparents everywhere and explained everything about the locations very well. It was an amazing day and I would really recommend booking with him.
