Will I get wet?
Yes!
Some of the water inside the cave is chest deep and there is also a small waterfall. We will then make our way back to the boat for an after sunset safari when the jungle comes alive with sound and maybe see some of the rain forests nocturnal creatures. Later returning to the raft house for dinner.
Day 2
After a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast we will board the boat for a 30 minute journey to the foot of one of the mountains.
We will then trek for about 1 hour through the rainforest to a viewpoint that has to be seen to be believed. On the way your guide will point out some of the animals and plants that live in this diverse jungle, monkeys, hornbills, flying lizards, and more. We will then return to the raft house for you to relax, maybe swimming, or go canoeing before we return to the pier in the afternoon. (approximately 2:00pm).
*Walking in the cave: If there has been severe weather i.e. if there has been prolonged rainfall it may not be possible to walk all the way through the cave due to flooding inside.
