Athena, the guide and William, the driver were a great team. The downside wasn't their fault as we had to wait for a ship excursion to be loaded onto the Nat'l Park boats even though we were there first. Buffet was good and close to Nat'l Park dock. Great experience in the underground river.

It's a beautiful trip through the country side and mountains to get to the cave. The boat ride is also amazing! Bring water shoes! We didn't know and we bought flip flops at the boat landing. You get off the boat in calf high water. The cave is an awesome experience with a great narrative as you go through. Definitely a must see! Our guiide was very informative and did a great job with keeping everyone together and on time.

The private transfer from the hotel arrived on time. The van was clean and the driver was polite, Our guide was also very entertaining and helpful. It was convenient and we did appreciate the fact that we had the whole van for ourselves.
On the way to the Underground River, we dropped by Buenavista view deck which had a lovely panoramic view of Ulugan Bay. We also had a private boat transfer from the port to the Underground River National Park where we joined other tourists for the 45-min paddle boat ride to the Underground River.
The guided paddle boat takes you across the underground river. For around 45 minutes, you get to explore the deep, vast & dark cave, and witness unique rock formations. From stalagmites and stalactites shaped in different unique and entertaining forms- it was indeed an experience.
The tour included an expert (and hilarious) guide who navigated us inside plus an audio guide (you can choose in different languages). This tour is a must for a Palawan trip.

Underwater River was amazing; beautiful sites. Friendly tour guide; unfortunately there was a long line to get boats out to the underground river (not the guide’s fault at all) but guide left our group alone for long periods several times (we assume to arrange/push to get our boats arranged) without giving clear updates and info on where we needed to be and when. We had to figure out where to go/be on our own. More frequent touch-bases and better communication by the guide would have been nice. Otherwise very friendly and informative!
