This is a guided tour, so everything will be explained to you and the guide leads you the way. At the beginning you walk over a long wobbly suspension bridge. Here you are secured with your safety harness on a guide rope, so that you can´t fall off in any case. The rest of the way is also really super secured. There are railings everywhere and there are footbridges and paths built into the rock, which make the hike relatively easy and definitely safe.

It is never strenuous and you can reach the top in less than 20 minutes. From the viewpoint you have a great view of the bay of El Nido and the sea. If you have chosen the “big” package for 700 pesos then it goes even further over the various nets that are stretched up there at dizzying heights.
