The spelunking started in a dark tunnel passage, headlamp or flashlight are required and helmet for head protection in low hanging stalactites.
Few meters away from the entrance there are crystal like formation that make some parts of the cave surface sparkle.
According to our guide, don’t touch those flow-stone where the natural oil of hand will ceased their growth.
Exploring the unknown in the dark is pretty exciting. Witnessing the varieties of formations and some birds nest is more interesting.
Navigating the trail with a a knee deep to a waist deep water to make a way through some part of the cave is such a rewarding experience. Everybody is getting interested what is more deep inside.
The coldness of water along the trail gives more excitement.
There are some technical part of the cave, and you need to squeeze in some narrow opening but when it comes to the level of difficulties, still, it considered easy and manageable.
The fear in the dark was easily conquered , everybody is enjoying the natural designs of nature.
Everybody are smiled and enjoying the beauty of the cave..
The sinkhole that serves as swimming pool for the visitors.
After strenuous rock scrambling in hot weather outside the cave, you feel invigorated while immersing your body in one of the cold sink hole in the cave. Its like a hydrotherapy, relaxing all your tired body.
Due to deep water measuring about 6 feet, spelunking ended at this point.
Fauna also observed in the area, like small shrimp, cat fish and other small fresh water fish.
In some caves bats are everywhere, in this caves no bats founds, no pungent smell so you never get doubt to get wet with the water.

kapag dalawa po ba kami ng partner ko pumunta for a day tour kailangan pa namin mag rent ng room para makagamit ng cr?
No need available ang C.R. and bath room for free
paano po pumunta from sampol market?
From Sampol Market. Ride a jeep (Road 1-2-12 or Novaliches signage) then drop off at Road 1.
At Road 1, ask if the tricycle drivers would allow to drive you to the actual cave. A better suggestion is that you ride a jeep again (Bigte/Garay signage) and drop off at the Rotonda mentioned above

I think pwede naman gumawa ng documentation, as long the documentation na gagawin nyo is legit. The blog is documentation din, pero wala naman bayad, sabi ko nga depende sa documentation nyo, di ko alam kung ano o paano kayo mag do documento…Nicole Ann Lopez gives the best answer on how to get there from Santa MAria, just follow nalang. Thansk
may bayad po basa resort? if meron, how much po?
Yes meron, kapg mag swimming kayo… Pero pwede kayo makiligo sa bathroom nila for free pag nag spelunking kayo…
