Not a pleasant trip

CARMEN_A, Feb 2024

The trip was nice because the cave is incredible but if you are going to book this tour bear in mind the following: 1. We had to wake up at 2.30 am. 2. The drivers stopped a few times, totally normal but one of the stops was more than 30 minutes. 3. We had to wait for the guide to come for mora than an hour. That means, we could have departured 1.30h later and not wake up so early. 4. Once the guide arrived, he stopped us in a viewpoint for 10 minutes which we didn't really wanted to stop. 5. In the van, he told us we we're late so we had to wait for about 1-2h for a permit to visita the cave. 6. So that we didn't have to wait doing nothing, he offered altenative activities which we had to pay. We did the manglar one but we didn't like it. 7. The cave was awesome but we we're really tired so we didn't have a good time. I recomend you to got to bed very early the day before if you're thinking of doing this tour. We had a not very pleasant experience because we wastwd a lote of time doing nothing and half an hour on the manglar activity which we didn't enjoy. Eventhough the guide was good.

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience on our Private Puerto Princesa Underground River tour from El Nido. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the early departure time and unexpected delays. The early departure is needed to ensure that you'll be able to enter the cave because a cut-off might be imposed due to the strong winds. Also, your comments regarding the additional activities and waiting times are noted. Rest assured that we will review our procedures and itinerary to make necessary improvements. Lastly, we're glad you enjoyed the cave experience and commend our guide's service. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Benj Corazon Travel and Tours

Crappy experience and bad customer service.

Randy_G, Dec 2023

My tour was a scam, I paid for a private tour for two and got a group tour instead. This is very bad business. I may recommend a group tour to people but never a private tour because you feel no need to fulfill on what was paid for.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience although I am sorry to hear about it. Based on the report provided by our tour guide, you were provided private services - from the van transfers to your motor boat. The only time you were in a group was during your time inside the cave and lunch. The paddle boat tours in the cave are beyond our control as only shared boats are allowed inside.
