This is a good experience. It is quite touristy. We got a boat from the mainland to the island where the caves are. The island is full of wildlife which was a highlight for us. Lots of monkey and monitor lizards. The caves are beautiful with lots of bats flying around. You go into the cave on a small boat 9km in which takes around 25 minutes. Overall a nice experience but there are ALOT of people doing it
My friend and I went there. It was a fun experience. Beautiful cave. If you are planning to visit, be careful with travel agents. Pick carefully and check their reviews before giving them your business. I made a mistake and was ripped off. Cost for this trip alone through agency was 2700 pesos and 150 for environmental fee. Total 2850 pesos. Includes underground river, transportation, and lunch.
A living, breathing museum of nature's art 😍 It is indeed one of the Wonders of the World. The process to get here is very organized and safe. Boats from piers have designated numbers and are written on each life vest so you won't board a wrong boat. They will give you a helmet before walking inside the forest that will lead you to the Underground river. They also provide audio guides as it is prohibited to create loud sounds inside the cave because it will disrupt the ecosystem there. Beware of 2 things though: 1. The resident monkeys roaming the area. They can get aggressive and persistent. 2. The bat droppings inside the cave. They can contain harmful bacteria that will cause diseases. Overall, it was an excellent experience 👌 the balance of preservation and tourism is very evident.
really amazing experience and educational. just so many people at the time we toured it. but everyone, our tour guide (she took my photo ♡) and boat tour operator were very pleasant. I'm more of a museum person but i recommend stopping by! just be wary of the smell (because of bat droppings) and crowds
