2.Underground River Day Trip from Puerto Princesa City

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 261 reviews · from $50

Review of Puerto Princesa’s Underground River day trip, with boat rides, cave sights, lunch, delays, optional zipline, and practical booking advice.

“It would be hard to screw up something as incredible as the underground river so I recommend this trip! The guides were very communicative about expectations for wait times, the drive over was comfortable and they were very on top of picking me up at the airport and making sure everyone got to where they needed to go after the trip. The reason this isn't a five star review is because the wording was a little misleading regarding the "forest walk" in the national park. We were told that we would get to go on a hike and what we did was not a hike at all (200M walk from…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 33 reviews · 20 hours · from $360

Review of a Puerto Princesa to El Nido day trip with lagoons, beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“I’d give zero if i could, it’s a TOTAL WASTE of money and time. We book this thinking that it would help us first to save some money, and then to enjoy more the time in Palawan. But it was actually a shame. They write the things included, but they dont say that it means “we include offering you for a price”, not that you already paid. It was so frustrating and disappointing. Then we where supposed to leave at 5 pm, spoiler, we ended up leaving at 7:30 pm, no communication at all with the agency, and the driver was the rudest, he just kept us waiting even though…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 32 reviews · 10 - 12 hours · from $142

Review of Cebu’s Osmeña Peak hike and Kawasan Falls canyoneering, with pricing, timing, safety, transport, tips, and who should book.

“Canyoning was well worth it…just amazing. Osmeña Peak was terrible, was just 15 minute walk, the foggy everywhere which is what it looks like every morning due to the climate. Not worth it, don’t do it in the morning…check when the hike is before you do it.”

Cebu: Moalboal Island Hopping and Mantayupan Falls Day Trip

7.Moalboal Island Hopping and Mantayupan Falls Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 19 reviews · 8 hours · from $112

Swim with Moalboal sea turtles, watch the sardine run, and cool off at Mantayupan Falls on this private Cebu day trip.

“Overall the experience was cool, but that had less to do with the tour provider and guides than the actual activity itself. We had a driver/guides who spoke little English, if they even attempted to communicate. Little to no clarity around instruction. Our boat failed halfway through, but they got it working again. We were surprised to miss our third stop on the boat tour - again, no communication from the guides. The activities themselves were cool as hell, and the additional gopro purchase was well worth the money. The falls are gorgeous, and worth the addition. We really enjoyed it as a private tour with just us, and at…”
