The activities were great but the tour guide needed to communicate better on the itinerary

Fiona_L, Apr 2024

The van was late picking us up (we understand this is a shared tour so some things are out of their control), and when we got to pick up the next lot of guests, it took them at least half an hour to join us (with no explanation why it took so long). The driver was great though. The guide was good to tell us if our footwear were inappropriate so we were able to change quickly before boarding the van. Bring shoes that are able to get wet (i.e. aqua shoes or flip flops). - We had a few stops along the way (view point & cave & lunch spot) but we were simply dropped off and guide did not explain how much time to spend at each location before we need to move on - this could be done better. - The cave climbing was good and the zipline was amazing. Highly recommend the zipline (superman pose!). - Lunch - there was a variety of food and plenty to go around. However, we were just dropped off at this location and the guide did not explain to us what was happening, so we just took it upon ourselves to line up and grab food and tried to find a free table to sit down and eat. Again, the guide didn't communicate with us for how long we are to spend at the restaurant before we have to move on to wait for the boat so we were confused what to do when we finished eating. There were also lots of people (hundreds) so we couldn't tell where our guide was... - The cruise into the underground river was good, great idea to use audio-guide, our guide on the boat was also good. - Tour guide outlined the itinerary at the beginning when bus was full with possibility of visiting a market before ending the tour at 3:30 back in PP, however due to late pick up, long wait for guests joining us at another pick up location, a sick child during the drive (had to pull over to clean up vomit) and lack of organisation throughout the day meant we did not leave the underground river till 3:30 and as we had another tour booked for 5:30pm we barely made it back to PP at 5pm and we were unable to visit market as planned. This was disappointing.

Awsome day of adventure

Jared_O, Feb 2024

This tour will not disappoint other than the long drive there. It was absolutely fantastic. I would be done at it again the next day it was so good. The underground river was spectacular in the Oregon rack, was like a cherry on top at the end we even had time to do a trip in the mangrove forest near the underground river and saw monitor, lizards, poisonous snakes, hanging in the trees and monkeys And a delicious lunch to boot

Underground River is a must

MrsNicolaJ_D, Sep 2023

The underground river was by far the best bit. It was stunning (albeit a bit smelly) and the activity was run really well by the team there. The audio was informative and they were extremely mindful of protecting the eco-system within the cave which included not talking so it made the experience a relaxing and private one. I personally felt that Ugong Rock and the zip line were a bit of a non-event. Too quick and lacked any real substance. Mol was our guide - very knowledgeable and proud of the natural landmarks of the area and Ali was our driver - felt very safe with him at the wheel.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your time writing a review. We are happy to read about your experience with the Underground River.

Well worth it

Daniel_A, Jul 2023

The whole trip was fantastic and worth the $$ Our tour guide "Mall" was very informative and a pleasure to deal with

Lisa_A, Feb 2023

Awesome guide (Mall) and driver (Ali), who were both really flexible and happy to tailor our tour to suit the group. Although it rained, we had so much fun. A great tour 😁

Beautiful bat cave, fun time spelunking and easy zipline!

Trisha_B, Dec 2022

The weather was sketchy up until pickup time, but the Company was excellent with communication! The van was comfortable and the guide handled EVERYTHING! The underground river was beautiful, Ugong Rock was fun and the zipline felt very safe. I will say Ugong Rock is "spelunking" so there was a size restriction for other passengers that should be mentioned in the booking somehow other than people being in shape. Great adventure worth every penny!

Definitely something to consider while in Puerto Princesa

chadtphp01, Jan 2020

This was a fantastic day! From the Underground River which was amazing to the 840m optional zipline to rock climbing Ugong which finished with a 420m zipline if you are looking for a very fun day while in Puerto Princesa this is one to consider.

Underground river and Ugong Rock Adventure

Judyth_H, Sep 2019

We thought we wanted to be sure to do the Ugong Rock Adventure too, so we chose this tour, and we were very happy that we did. The whole day is well and tightly organized, there is good use of time. After a beautiful drive through the island we started the cliimb to the top of Ugong Rock. This is quite challenging in spots so it should not be chosen by people who are out of shape. Then from the top, the zipline is fun. We proceeded to the little port where we got one boat to the mouth of the Underground River, where we were switched to a paddleboat. The River Tour is quite interesting. All day you will hear about responsible tourism and concern for the environment. When we got back to the little port we had lunch, which frankly was quite dreadful, and surprising because the next day in another tour with the same company the lunch was wonderful. The drive back to Puerto Princesa was relaxing, the whole day was very nice.

not worth the price.my seatmates paid...

Ma Rica Teresa G, May 2018

not worth the price.my seatmates paid half the cost but the same tour itinerary

Very unique trip and one you MUST...

Mike M, May 2017

Very unique trip and one you MUST take if you are going to the Philippines. The cave formation is very different and in some places spectacular. It is a must see in the Philippines and one I would do again.
