The first cave I explored was the Sumaguing Cave in Sagada, Mountain Province. That was way back in 2007. The second, although it may not be strictly a cave, was the one at the Underground River in Palawan. The third were the Ambongdolan Caves in nearby Tublay, Benguet. For my fourth, it’s the Capisaan Cave in Nueva Vizcaya… and I have to say it’s the best I have seen so far. Let me give you a glimpse of it the best I can.

Hi there~ Thank you for dropping by!
There is no signal in the area, so the guides even have to go to town to go online. They have a Facebook page, though, intermittently updated but updated nonetheless.
I suggest you go there directly. The house of Pastor Pawid, one of the guides, is a short walk to the entrance to the Lion Cave.

Planning to go here hopefully this year. How many hours ang Kasibu from Bambang?

I can’t be entirely sure because we took the other route, but I asked a friend and was told that Bambang to Kasibu takes roughly 6 hrs. Hope you do check it out! Let me know what you thought of it when you’ve seen it!

I will definitely go there hopefully this summer! But, do they accept walk-ins?? Also, do they have a minimum number of participants?

Its just 1-2 hrs, it will depend on the vehicle youll be using. The roads are now concrete.

Thanks for clarifying that. Turns out the friend I asked went roundabout on a road trip, so it took them 6+ hours. 🙂

No need for reservations, there are tourguides assigned in the tourist hall of that barangay, going to kasibu particulrly in brgy capisaan is somewhat hard so its better to have your own ride or just rent if you have a budget. email me if you have other questions. quimcastrorn@gmail.com

Good day. I am planning to visit Capisaan Cave by next month. I just want to ask how to go there from Solano. I will be commuting so I want to know if there is a regular tricycle to Kasibu or I need to rent. Just in case how much is the suggested rent? thank you in advance.

No Qim. Ill be coming from Manila kasi and diretso sa Solano kasi may mgakakilala ako dun.

@rj i see, i doubt kung my trike going to kasibu, hnd kakayanin ng trike ang daan kung via quezon town ka. if pa bambang naman e pwede kang mag jeep from solano to bambang then look for a public jeepney or van na pupunta sa kasibu particularly to brgy capisaan. Kung mag isa ka lng pupunta mapapa mahal ka dahil hnd friendly ang capisaan sa mga solo backpacker, you need to have a companion to split the expenses.

Hi sir! try also to explore Pao cave,located at barangay Pao,kasibu, Nueva vizcaya,my home towm. It was once featured as one of the longest cave but due to it’s geographical location only a few knows about it.And of course our officials does’nt give importance on tourism sad but true..

I think that’s a problem in many areas in our country. The people and the officials need to take the initiative to promote tourism, but I guess some of them have their reasons for preferring to keep it to themselves.
Thanks for the rec, Ma’am Rowena! We will surely add Pao Cave to our (growing!) list of places to check out in the future!
