Headlamps cut through a low ceiling of rock as you lower yourself into a dark throat beneath Negros’ limestone hills. In this Dumaguete caving and canyoning day, tight squeezes, vertical rappels and an underground river shape the itinerary; light beads on still pools and the guide's voice carries in the cavity.

Bring a reliable headlamp
Guides provide lights but your own headlamp with fresh batteries ensures uninterrupted visibility in tight passages.
Choose grippy, quick-dry footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good tread or canyoning shoes prevent slips on wet rock and protect toes in crawls.
Hydrate before you go
Eight-hour days underground can be humid; drink water beforehand and carry a small sealed bottle if allowed.
Alert guides to health limits
If you have claustrophobia, recent injuries, or difficulty with confined spaces, tell guides before departure.
Helmet with chin strap
Protects against low ceilings and falling debris; guides may supply one but bringing your own ensures proper fit.
Headlamp + spare batteries
Hands-free light is critical for navigation and ropework in dark passages.
Closed-toe water-resistant shoes
Grippy shoes or canyoning footwear reduce slip risk on wet rock and protect feet during crawls.
