We booked this tour through our hotel along with our reservation to them. I think you need to reserve and give your names at least one month before your trip as they are accounting the number of visitors per day. It costs us around Php1500 per head with free hotel pick-up and buffet lunch. We were picked by the van at around 7am and we are the last to be picked up before heading to the wharf. It was about 2hrs travel from the city proper to the wharf going to the underground river. We had one stop on the middle of the route. At the wharf we had to queue and wait for the next available boats. I think the earlier you were there the better as many tourists may queue and hinder your fast travel. We waited about more than 30 minutes before plying our route to the underground river which is about 30 mins boat ride.

Arriving at the vicintiy of the underground river, we were awed with the spectacular view of the limestone formations of the area. Another queue is on the main banca that will tour you inside the cave with seating capacity of 8 persons (I think there also a seating configuration bigger than 8 pax).

We ate lunch at the resorts along the beach near the wharf. It was buffet and the food is okay but nothing special though. Try tamilok when you got there. It's Php100 per serving and you could share this along with your friends. There are vendors selling these in the area.
We were back at the hotel at around 5pm since our fellow van-mates did rock climbing which damaged at least 2 hrs of our time. This is just the setback of group tours, you may have conflict with your fellow tourists. We were not properly informed though about this.
