Stayed 4hrs at Sabang wharf waiting to board the boat when we were about to board all trips were canceled due to the rough seas. Never really explained why we waited so long when others who came after us had their boat ride.

A wonderful day with a great tour guide who helped us in every aspect. The underground river is well worth seeing and the zip line over the bay was also very exciting for all the family, also the restaurant that was included was excellent.

Super bien organisée malgré les nombreux autres touristes à vouloir faire pareil ! Une traversée de la baie en bateau de 8 personnes pour se rendre sur site. Changement de bateau avec remise d’audio guides dans la plupart des langues (y compris le français). Visite d’une partie de la rivière et là ! C’est carrément bluffant d’autant qu’on entend dans l’audio guide les explications du quoi, comment et quand. Vraiment une excursion à faire !midorinomaki

プリエトの町から2時間程度で到着、それほど待ち時間はなく、楽しめることが出来ました。私たちはツアー終了後エルニド方面に行きたかったので途中で降ろしてもらい、エルニド行きのミニバスまで教えてもらってとても助かりました。

The group me and my fiancé joined is organized by V and everything on the itinerary was followed. The trip transportation was headed by RV and destinations and pick ups were on- time. RV made sure each person was dropped off in their hotels closest he could get to the main entrance as it was raining when the tour ended. Both made sure that the group was comfortable and had a good time. Going to the underground cave was a breeze as V was on top of the permits required for the trip and organizing the boat rides. The underground cave itself is amazing and they implement strict protocols to preserve the area. Locals and site organizers are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Worth your money.
