Biak-Na-Bato National Park — Attraction in Doña Remedios Trinidad

For Spelunking Experience

Biak na Bato National Park is a vast park. You can go on a trek up on their mountains - Mt. Manalmon, Mt. Gola, etc. and/or do spelunking but they are at different rendevous point.

The park would never let you enter any of its parts without a guide but if you did managed to slip and enter, the staff won't be reliable on anything that might happen to you. Snakes, monkeys, slippery rocks, and some cliffs are waiting for you there, so be sure to have a guide. The trail is dangerous to sum it up, but if you are looking for adventure, THIS IS A MUST!

We took the Historical Cave Package and the Paniki Cave Package.

The Historical Cave Package is a trek to 4 caves that the katipuneros used for their rebellion. The caves are small and doesn't offer much but if you are into history, then this is a must.

After that we went to the Paniki Cave. As the name implies, it houses bats. The trail has ups and downs. A bit of stamina and endurance is needed for this trek. And it sure is rocky as you enter the cave. Care is a must.

The guide will then lead you to a small falls behind the paniki cave if you want to dip in. This is the best place that the park can offer as the water is fresh and clear here unlike the water at the bottom of the trail. The pool of water is small and the rocks are slippery.

I suggest that you travel here on the dry season as the trail might get too slippery for you specially inside the caves. Have a guide for protection and to help the locals. Prepare to trek and to get wet.

There are many more caves to explore in this park but time was limited. They've had offer us an extreme adventure in an underground cave where they say there is a part where you have to swim in order reach the other end. I was with beginners so that's for...

Biak na bato was one of my dream to go travels, but heck, now I know why my parents won't go there (We live at a near locality) the fees were held individually which is kind of a rip-off. A separate fee for parking, separate fees per head, and lastly an outrageous sum for a tour guide. Was not surprised not many would go there i mean like, the tour guides dont even know how to tour, my friends asked some questions but can not get a proper explanation. We later then asked "How many years have you been working here" he said: 20 years. From then on, I concluded that he's been there for 20 years doing nothing but stare at you like some weirdo and charge you for only just coming with you like you're the tour guide " Sumama lang alang ginawa". I've seen some reviews complaining about how the tour guide is in a rush. Let me tell you this, it's because the sooner they end touring you, the better for them. The fee is 300 Pesos if they could end a tour sooner then, they can double it. Kind of selfish i know. This is the problem with individual fees. If you're planning to go there I would not recommend it if you want enjoyment "the introvert tour guide is always by your side so you can't goof around". I'm not saying it's not good but going there, you'll be disappointed...

First of all, the current google map for this is wrong as the actual site of the national park is at least 30 minutes away from this location and is at San Miguel Bulacan. Second, we had a good time in the park and we added the tour to the bat cave. I saw from other reviews that some guests are complaining about the secondary rate fee for the additional tour which I believe is fair as the base rate for the tour guide for the basic tour is very cheap at 300 pesos only. So therefore if they will need to spend more time with you, they need to earn extra income which I find to be very very reasonable at current inflation. I am sure the place will even look great if you go there during rainy season or after a heavy rain so that the river will be flowing with more water. Overall, we are very glad to have visited a...
