A limestone cave carrying a navigable underground river, with stalactites, stalagmites, cathedral-like chambers and roosting bats along the first kilometre or so. Visitors take a banca from Sabang to the beach, walk to the entrance, then ride a paddle boat lit by the boatman's flashlight while listening to an audio guide.
