5A must do!
We booked a tour of the underground river through our hotel, Four Points Sheraton. It’s totally worth doing!!! Truly a geological wonder. Audio tours were available in tons of languages. Locals wonderful. Watch out for monkey thievery- funny but truly a big issue there, taking people’s wallets and cameras!
3Two hours late
Tour of underground river was amazing. Our driver & guide were two hours late, so it was hard to get in a good mood after the wait. Buffet lunch after river was wonderful. Our tour guide’s English was barely passable.
5Amazing cave. The best...
Amazing cave. The best one I’ve been to. A must do. Guide was funny and made the tour enjoyable. Lunch was excellent.
3Be prepared for a lot of waiting around!
We booked the latest trip at 9 am as my son had only just arrived from Australia that morning, only to get a call at 7.30 am saying the guide was in reception to collect us. After rushing out with no breakfast we travelled for an hour where we then had to wait 1 1/2 hours for a boat to take us to the underground river, then more waiting for a canoe. The canoe trip itself was interesting & lasted about 45 minutes. Then back onto the boat again to the mainland. Lunch was good & then back onto the minibus for another hour journey. Our guide was ok but felt this trip was somewhat overrated.
