I loved this excursion, the landscapes to get from Puerto Princesa to the underground river are magnificent. The boat ride in the mangrove is very interesting, the zip line is huge and the underground river is worth the detour alone. The buffet was good and in addition we meet lots of animals. Thank you to the guides for their kindness and professionalism. I will return with great pleasure!

This tour company WhatsApp me the night before to confirm the pick up time. I was picked up in the time slot. Our tour guide V and the driver Josh worked well as a team. We were very lucky to be able to go into the underground river. The previous two days it was cancelled. This tour and the company are very good.

Excellent tour! Crew was incredibly helpful and professional, they were providing us with interesting information regarding the different spots we were visiting and the whole experience did not seem rushed at all! Lunch was absolutely delicious as well!!

Don was an absolutely incredible guide and we had an absolutely lovely day. Couldn’t ask for more five stars for sure !

Everything is going very well. The places visited are impressive.
