An ominous atmosphere creeps around the caves. Sounds of seeping water from limestone rock formations are all you can make out. Anticipation grows as you go deeper into the cave. It’s eerie and exciting, how did this iconic natural wonder form millions of years ago? It’s otherworldly.
Your private guide points out the endemic wildlife in the area while you carefully watch your back for monkeys and monitor lizards. Another cave entrance is approaching.
Although it’s a well visited area, it’s possible to have a section of this UNESCO site all to yourself. Exploring the area with a pioneer takes you downstream, accessing parts of the Sabang River standard tours are prohibited from entering.
