Great experience - Very well organized trip. Smooth pick up from hotel. Our guide Echo was very informative and helpful. The river itself is absolutely unique. Totally recommended. Some people take waterproof bags/phone cases - it's not necessary unless you don't literally fall in the water which is very unlikely. The guides and boat captains help you on and off. Flip flops are however recommended as you will need to board the boat from the beach.

Mac - We took a a trip to Palawan as a family (my cousin family's and my and I) and decided to do the Underground River in Puerto Princesa. My suggestion is to leave early in the morning because the later you leave, the longer the line will be at the river. On our trip we had a private tour as we had eight adults and two toddlers. On the way we stopped at vista point over looking the sea. It was well worth the stop and the view. We then proceeded to another tourist stop at a beach to take a walk and take pictures. The views of the ocean was beautiful. This is also where you could do some activities, and in this case our nephew and his girlfriend did the zipline. He and his girlfriend enjoyed the zipline. We then went to the port that takes you to the Underground River. Since we had time, we had an early lunch which was part of trip. The food was good and it was a variety of Filipino food. We then took the boat over to the river. We arrived at the river but we had to wait about 45 minutes to wait our turn to take one of the boats into the caves. Once on the boat , we went into the cave. It was nice as the temperature must have dropped over 10 degrees which helped because it was hot and humid while waiting for our boat. If you fear the dark, going into caves, or bats, this might not be something you want to partake in. Once in the cave we saw the different limestone formations and the history of the caves from our tour guide. You travel approximately 1.5-2 kilometers or more into the cave before you turn around. Afterwards we took our bunka back to the main port, which was nice because of the views were maganda. Just a word of the wise when you are on the island at the Underground River, be aware of the monkeys because they are known to be aggressive and recommend you don't eat or bring bottled water as the monkeys would grab the bottles.

A lovely, zero hassle tour - I had an amazing time, the subterrainian river is astonishing, and the story around the mangroves and its wildlife is truly cool to be educated on. The buffet supplied delicious Korean and Philippino food, and you are not rushed either. I must also commend the staff for being easy to contact and also for being very polite. A special thanks to the guide, Echo, who was very honest and inviting, and also gave great tips for traveling in the Philippines, and may have opened to a secret or two about the locals. Highly recommend this tour of one of the Unesco’s worlds 7 wonders.

Very interesting and entertaining - Our tour guide, "V" was great. She was entertaining and knowledgeable. We were lucky to have her. The underground river was amazing and that alone was worth the trip. We also did the mangrove tour and that was quite interesting and we enjoyed it. The lunch was a very good buffet. All in all, it was a great trip except the weather was rainy and windy for most of the day... No fault of the tour operator.

Nice experience of this Wonder of the World - I liked this tour a lot. The underground river and the boat ride were really nice. The only part I did not like was the 1 hour we all had to wait for the people that decided to do zip line. I feel like they should offer something to the people who are not ziplining. Time is money and being stuck waiting for others in a tour sucks.

Amazing underground river cave - The underground river trip was great. Lunch was nice and the tour guide was very informative. I didn’t go on the paddle board or zip line option so was waiting on the beach for a couple of hours for the other people to complete. My choice. But made for a long day when the underground river is only 45 minutes to complete.
