best way to experience benagil cave
boracaybum0210, October 2026
we got to see several caves, the highlights being pirate’s cave and benagil cave. wife and i are moderately fit with some kayaking experience. most challenging aspect physically was climbing up the stairs back to parking lot at the end of the excursion lol.

Wonderful experience, my favorite was the final cave with the surprise ending! Although it is disappointing that there was no time to be able to get out and enjoy any of the sneaky beaches, since they don't allow you to get out inside of the cave anymore I would have assumed that they would have allowed us just a little bit of time to actually enjoy the scenery and enjoy the view on one of the private beaches that we went by. I would much rather do that than sit in the water bobbing around getting seasick listening to stories about Barnacles hahaha
