This was extremely worth it! We had Joshua as our guide and he was phenomenal! He made sure we were efficient and reduced our wait times by getting our group there and keeping us informed. our driver also got us there in record time so we didnt have to wait behind all the other groups.

A must do when traveling to Puerto Princesa. Make sure to pack a swimsuit to enjoy the beach while people are doing ziplining. Thank you to Jerome, our your guide.

The underground river is just amazing! The caves are unique and stunning to paddle through. The zipline was also very fun! It's a 2-3 hours drive to get there, but the experience makes it worth the long drive. Remember to take medicine, if you get car sick, because the road is very winding and bumpy. Our guide Rosalyn was kind and funny! We recommend this adventure 100 percent. Rune & Michelina (from Norway)

We would highly recommend this tour it was a lovely day out , modern vehicle with good air con. Great communication from Travel cart tours throughout the process with updates on pickup times . Our tour guide was great company with lots of local info to impart. Nice spot for sightseeing on the way there with panoramic views for photos with plenty of “comfort breaks” throughout the tour. The indoor river and caves were a fantastic sight to see and well worth the visit . The cave tour was accompanied by a headset audio guide in your chosen language which was easy to listen to .A local tour guide did all of the paddling required inside the caves. The boat trip to and from the caves were quite exhilarating about 15 minutes each way and helped to make the day special, the cave and river experience was followed with a buffet lunch and several more add ons that we’re offered such as the Zip line( these were an added extra if you wanted them and reasonably priced )All in all good value for money and worth the visit.

Our tour guide was very informative from beginning to end. The drive from Puerto Princesa to the underground river was a bit harrowing due to the many turns and our driver bring a bit speedy even around all the turns. If you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to take dramamine or bonine before the trip. We chose to do the zip line in addition to the tour which I"m so glad we did. The beach that you need to walk down to get to the zip line path then the view from the zip line were gorgeous. When we finished the zip line, we went to the dock and were ready to board with little waiting time. A few people in our van chose not to do the zip line and waited at the beach while reading a book. The whole tour was very well organized from beginning to end. I would recommend the tour without hesitation (except if you get motion sickness then you need to make sure you bring along medicine!).
