About Heaven Cave

Visitors descend a staircase into the cave, where the interior opens into a water-filled cavern. Depending on the water level and conditions, visitors can enjoy swimming in the cool underground water. The cave also features interesting geological formations, including stalactites and stalagmites.

  • Underground swimming — Cool, clear water makes the cave a refreshing place to swim when conditions are suitable.
  • Limestone formations — Look for natural formations along the cave walls and ceiling.
  • Cave adventure — Descending underground gives you a different experience from Camotes' beaches and coastal attractions.
  • Photography — The unusual rock formations and underground pool make interesting travel photos.
  • Peaceful atmosphere — It is a good place to slow down and enjoy Camotes' natural environment.

A recent visitor report noted that water levels can reach around waist to chest height, so swimming ability is important. The cave can also become slippery, particularly when wet.

Travel Tips

  • Aqua shoes or trekking sandals — the stairs and cave floor can be slippery.
  • Swimwear and extra clothes if you plan to swim.
  • Waterproof phone pouch or dry bag for your phone and valuables.
