  • Some useful tips after experiencing it :
    1. Dress lightly, as casual as possible.
    2. Don't wear your favourite clothings as during crawling your clothings will definitely be coated with some soils.
    3. Don't wear slippers as it will be quite difficult during tunnel crawling.
    4. Don't bring bulky bags, best is just a small waist pouch/sling.
    5. Bring insect repellent.
    6. Last but not least, MUST bring a touch-light.

    In summary, the tunnel is only very short (30/40m), but the guide goes super fast that my hubby being the one after him could not even catch up with him. However with the touch-light that we have allow us to see where we are going. And those people way behind us really have trouble as it was a total darkness in the tunnel. The tunnel size is quite alright for Asian size, for those that has big belly & bigger size, will find it quite tough. Anyway, is a good "work-out".
    Excursion can be booked in the Backpackers area and all agency has the flat rate of US$4 excludes US$5 entrance fees. Depart at the agency at about 8.15am
