Great alternative to the cruise line shore excursion
The underground river was definitely a great experience. Truth be told, there was some stressful confusion about the total cost as we changed from a group tour to private and eventually a semi-private tour, but it worked out fine.
When we got to the location, there is a long queue to navigate, but our tour guide was fantastic in navigating us through the queue and making sure we had plenty of time to make it back to our cruise ship (we know others that left at the same time as us on a different tour and cut it much closer).
After the underground river tour, we were taken to a delicious lunch buffet with a nice mix of local and comfortable cuisine. I got to eat an entire fried fish (well, I didn't eat everything...avoided most of the head).
Our tour guide was very competent and the actual caves were well worth it!
Operator response

Underground river is fabulous
Wonderful look at this Unesco Heritage site. River is over 26km long and we got to explore about 2km. Long van ride two and from, an outrigger trip to the area where we transferred to a small outrigger that could enter the cave. You won't regret doing this trip of a lifetime.

Its nice to hear from you mam once again.

Worth every penny.
This experience was amazing. There is a reason it's one of the seven wonders of the world. Definitely worth every penny. We also did the fast zip line with the caving experience and it was great. Climbing through the cave to get to the top and then doing the zipline was fun and beautiful. The buffet lunch was delicious as well. You won't regret this experience, especially if Nelba is your tour guide.
