“The actual caves the cave operators. The actual boat and guides did an amazing job . Our Tour company( Corazon tours booked through Viator) was Horrible !! The Ride experience from Hotel to the boats was horrifying . The driver drove the winding roads and wet street like he was practicing for Nascar racing and at time was two feet from the next vehicle in front of him at high speeds .

“alors activité moyenne dans l'ensemble.Le transport e van partage etait totalement horrible à l'aller:le chauffeur conduisait tres vite et etait anxiogèn.Un trajet stressant et horrible.Pour le retour,un peu mieux mais les chauffeurs conduisent vraiement trop vite. concernant l'activité,je n'ai ete pris en compte par aucun guide,juste placer parmi un groupe de personnes. Sur le tour en lui meme,pas trop mal mais les étoiles de mer ont l'air morte et nous n'avons pas vu ou tres peu vu de tortues. bref,beaucoup de routes et de grosses prises de risques pour une activité moyenne.A eviter ou à faire directement depuis Port Barton.”

“We did the Osmeña Peak and Kawasan Falls with Zip Line. Highly recommend both. The peak had a lot of clouds but we stuck around and saw a beautiful view after the clouds parted. The hike was short but very slippery. I would highly recommend using hiking boots. You can rent walking sticks there, which I would recommend as well. Kawasan Falls and the Zip Line were a blast. Definitely do the Zip Line. Just a heads up, you need to hop on the back of a motorcycle in order to get up to the Zip Line. It is pretty short so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Our…”
