My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

We were picked up at the airport timely, but then taken to the main office and had to wait another half hour for a different vehicle to become available. Ride is long, windy, and road is not good, but driver did his best to get us there as fast as possible.

Nice evening, the dinner was very good and our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable . We spent a lot of time sitting around waiting and saw only a handful of fireflys how ever the river cruise it's self is still lovely. Would recommend going in the summer so you can see more firefly's as well as the bioluminescent plankton.

The private transfer from the hotel arrived on time. The van was clean and the driver was polite, Our guide was also very entertaining and helpful. It was convenient and we did appreciate the fact that we had the whole van for ourselves. On the way to the Underground River, we dropped by Buenavista view deck which had a lovely panoramic view of Ulugan Bay. We also had a private boat transfer from the port to the Underground River National Park where we joined other tourists for the 45-min paddle boat ride to the Underground River. The guided paddle boat takes you across the underground river. For around 45 minutes, you get to explore the deep, vast & dark cave, and witness unique rock formations. From stalagmites and stalactites shaped in different unique and entertaining forms- it was indeed an experience. The tour included an expert (and hilarious) guide who navigated us inside plus an audio guide (you can choose in different languages). This tour is a must for a Palawan trip.

The jump off point for the boats and the dinner were nicely landscaped and decorated. The buffet dinner was only adequate with only a single soup selection and 4 or 5 other dishes for the buffet. During the dinner, a presentation was given on the fireflies and what else you might see. Aside from a pleasant paddle boat in the dark, it was really disappointing not to see much in terms of fireflies. On the boat ride out and back we saw maybe about 15 trees that had fireflies. It was not as advertised where there would be thousands of fireflies around you. While they also talked about bioluminescent plankton, we never saw any. Not worth the money unless you wanted to see the stars at night in a boat! The first picture is what we saw and the second picture is what they advertised what we would see.
