We have done two tours with them and we are glad we chose them. Both the underground river and Honda Bay went smoothly, great pick up and drop off service, great organization and great lunch. Friendly and nice guides. I highly recommend this operator in Puerto Princesa.
Worth it…

We had a great time. Well worth the travel time to the park. Getting there early is recommended to limit your wait time. There is a 150php fee but you can use it for 5 days for other parks in puerto princesa.

The whole trip was good, with slight hiccup, as our van broke down. I would strongly recommend people do the mangrove tour, and maybe the zipline, as there is nothing else to do at that location. We did not, and it was an extremely long wait. You could possible sit by the water if you like to sunbath
Forced to wait for zipline and Mangrove even though we decided not to participate.

We discussed to add the Mangrove and Zipline this day, but did not want to spend the time. But in the car, which took us to the underground river, there were also people, who had booked the Mangrove and the Zipline, so after the river, we had to go with them to Mangrove/Zipline and sit and wait, while they spend the time, which was very frustrating. We booked online in advance, but there are several places in Puerto Princasa to book the trip and ask directly for conditions, which we will recommend.
Everything organized, nothing to worry about

We booked everything through Corazón and it was the best decision for our trip to El Nido. They organized our island tours, the Underground River, and a private van from Puerto Princesa to El Nido everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. Our contact, Trisha, was outstanding. Always responsive, always on top of every detail, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The kind of person you wish you had on every trip. Highly recommend Corazón if you're planning a trip to Palawan!

The caves are amazing. The lack of organisation and direction was frustrating.
A wonder, but a long time to reach it.

The underground river is a marvel of nature, but the only bad thing, is that to reach this place from Puerto Princesa, it takes a round trip between Van from Puerto Princesa and boat that takes you to the entrance of the cave about 4 hours, while the attraction takes only 40 minutes.
