SAMAR ISLAND THE CAVING CAPITAL IN THE PHILIPPINES
explore samar DARK secrets underworld
FALLING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
SARAH CONNOR
Going on a Trexplore Adventure is like falling down the rabbit hole. A rush of adrenaline and
sensation take you to worlds you could not have even imagined. Tree-surfing in the clouds on an
island’s summit. Standing in a perfect black void surrounded by an orchestra of drips. Confusing
bumbling fireflies with shooting stars. Crouching in a rocky enclave behind a veil of tumbling water.
Seeing a spider’s eyes flash like jewels. Bathing in mounds of bubbles in an underground river.
Relishing the squelch of knee-deep mud. Assuming your own royal chamber that glitters like gold.
And the characters you meet along the way are equally wonderful. A fearless explorer who
understands the cavernous depths of the earth so well that he has almost become a cave creature
himself. A playful apprentice who sings love songs, and laughs easily and loudly. A ponytailed man
with a beautiful round belly who can tell an epic tale with his body but no words.
But this isn’t a world of Alice’s imagination, this wonderland is a real place, and the characters are
real people. Trexplore, a small company on Samar Island in the Philippines, takes ordinary people on
extraordinary adventures. It was created in the year 2000 by cave master Joni Bonifacio, a young
family man with an unusual hobby. Although Trexplore offers all types of adventures including
trekking, canyoning and mountain-biking, its main focus and Joni’s real passion is caving.
Joni Bonifacio’s ‘romance with the rocks’, as he fondly calls it, began when he was a teenager. Joni’s
interest was aroused by the discovery of Langun Gobingob cave in Samar, the biggest cave in the
Philippines and at the time, the second biggest known cave in South-East Asia. He wondered why
international spelunkers were exploring Samar’s caves, while Filipinos were afraid of the spirits
and snakes caves are said to hold. His first caving expedition took place when he was only
sixteen years old. He went with a group of friends and a local guide into Langun Gobingob
for two nights and three days. From then on he was hooked. Sometimes he would memorise the
map of a cave and explore it by himself, remaining in the cave overnight.
It takes a brave man to do what Joni has done. When entering a deep cave, the complete darkness
and the maze of tunnels and chambers going in all directions instils the sense that caving is serious
business. The average person experiences apprehension even when accompanied by an expert with
equipment, as for most the chance of being lost in the dark underground is terrifying. To enter a
cave alone, especially one with the magnitude of Langun Gobingob, certainly takes a resilient and
curious mind. In the early days Joni’s caving skills were completely self-taught, but after joining with
international expeditions he learned advanced caving techniques. Today with twenty years’ of caving
experience, he annually joins international speleologists as they undertake expeditions to discover
and map new caves in Samar.
To an adventure lover, Samar Island is a bountiful playground. The rugged landscape dares mountain
bikers to accept its challenge. Waterfalls and rivers spill down mountains tempting thrill-seekers
with the more dangerous sport of canyoning. The topography is also ideal for the formation of caves.
Of the thousand or so caves that populate Samar’s terrain, fewer than ten per cent have actually
been explored. Aside from being home to the biggest cave in the Philippines, Samar delivers an
exquisite variety of underground environments. Subterranean rivers, lakes, waterfalls, earthen
chandeliers and twinkling candlesticks, craggy stalactites and mammoth stalagmites, giant gill shaped
sparkling crystals, gardens of coral-shaped calcite, fields of mud, massive spaces and tiny tunnels,
natural bath-tubs and bubbling flowstones. You probably won’t come across any talking rabbits or
pipe-toting caterpillars, but these environments are still inhabited by some seriously strange creatures,
including the blind fish, crabs, bats, birds, eels, snakes and spiders. Some are harmless,
some will kill you, and some are yet to be identified.
Trexplore is the only company properly qualified to take tourist caving in Samar. It is popular with both Filipino tourist who are looking for an adventure holiday, as well as international travellers who are passing though. It caters for beginners who may need someone to hold their hand as they face their fears, and can equally impress seasoned explorers with authentic expeditions.
Evey tour is different. There are no robotic tour guides repeating the same tired lines. These adventures are unpredictable. Which is part of what Joni loves about his job. His fresh sense of humour keeps the mood light and his clients' nerve clam, ensuring an enjoyable experience. And if you want to follow in the footsteps of the great explorers and spelunkers he may even take you on your own expedition into the wilderness. Who knows, you could discover the next Langun- Gobingob cave.
These trip are not for the faint-hearted, and like all adventure sports they carry with them certain risk. Joni knows the terrain, he knows how to use his equipment, he know how cave-fauna behave and he knows how to look after his clients. But there are unavoidable danger and help is usually a long way off. You rely on each other, potentially for survival.
Being underground is a completely different experience to any other. If you haven't done any serious caving, and we're talking caves that are kilometers long. then there's a whole part of this glorious planet that you're missing out on. It's a real-life fairy tale.

THE CAVES OF THE SAMAR ISLAND
(“A place of mystery in the dark” for everyone Not scared at all but “where some people want to go”)
Caves are fascinating. All of us are looking for certain things in life. Sometimes we don't even realize what some of these things are. Next time you go into a cave, ask yourself what you are looking for; what do you want out of the cave? I think I have the answer: you are looking for adventure -- and you find it. You go for adventure. Don't tell me it isn’t adventure to crawl through or immerse you in some underground stream, because if it isn't adventure, then somebody's off his or her rocker.
Deep underground, in the hollows of mountains of Samar, where light won’t go, the man himself Mr. Joni Bonifacio, he made his home and dreams at that. And sure enough, “There’s something warped about a person’s interests to have a passion for caves. It’s in his genes.” Joni is a refined, eccentric, eclectic and fascinating man, and he really loves caves. The primary purpose of his organization “TREXPLORE” is to be a record keeping. It’s a labor of love; and there is a balance that must be struck between disseminating information and limiting human traffic in caves. Joni says, that caves are a valuable, limited and nonrenewable resource. “Once its destroyed, it’s gone,” Caves are formed slowly over thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years. You can find serenity in caves; it’s a peacefulness that envelops in the inner self. It’s a magical place…the age of it, the shapes and the form of it…it’s a peace that you can’t find on the surface, where there is life and activity all around. It’s an appreciation that hold for a remarkable place, like a cathedral.”
For more years that have been leading caving trips. One of the favorite areas is in Samar Island Philippines. The Samar Island offers visitors a myriad of Caves to explore. Located in the eastern part of the Philippines. This place has over more caves and is in the heart of the cavers, a CAVING CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES. Some of the Caves in Samar are well developed with large passages and more than of these caves are over ten miles long. It includes thousands of cave maps, and cave descriptions. Cave surveying and map making is basic exploration of large cave systems. Caving is a great hobby for adventurers who aren't afraid of tight spaces, heights, darkness, and bugs”. The Samar caves and karst, and there is a map, glossary and illustrations. It is an invaluable reference work for anyone interested in limestone caves and karst, archaeology, conservation, geomorphology, geology, history etc, as well as for the sporting caver who wants to learn more about Samar caves.
During summer, some of the French and Italian cavers led by Joni Bonifacio, will do some expedition in Samar Island in a month-long in Can-Yawa Cave in Calbiga “The Can-Yawa Cave Expedition”, Macatingal Cave in Calbiga, Las Navas, Northern Samar, in exploring the 3-kilometer cave. Contrary to its name, the said cave actually has a length of 8-kilometers, the “Maybug Sulpan Cave” in Matuguinao, Samar. An 8-km river cave and “Katiklihan Cave” measuring 1-km and 121m. The Italian group and a team of experts in surveying various caves in Northern (Las Navas) and Western Samar (Jiabong), during the expedition, the Robin's Cave in Las Navas was discovered, the deepest cave in the whole country. It measured of 6 km in length and 190m depths into the ground. They also visited the “Lobo Cave” and “Panaghoyan Cave” in Jiabong, and it measured 5 km and 900 m. Another expedition in Maslog Eastern Samar and San Jorge Samar and discovered 5 caves: “Bagoy”, “Mercing”, “Jaime”, “Zoo” and “Bai-ang Caves”. And also visited the “Sulpan Pinipisakan Caves” in San Jorge Samar, and took some photos for documentation.
More than 100 caves have been explored and catalogued since then, and with more than 1,000 caves still to be explored, and more than thousands known caves in Samar Island has more caves than any other countries. Rock formations will delight and excite the more adventurous visitor. There are organized expeditions in the Samar Island Caves, and you can rest assured only the best equipment and most experienced guides are used.
Walking passages, crawlways, mud rooms, waterfalls, streams, formations. You will probably run into all of these and more with the cavers. Not really, but you sure will fell like you are if you try the exciting sport of caving with high adventures. As if there weren't enough to do around the outpost, the limestone ridges area are countries-renowned for spelunking (that’s cave talk for caving) and we'd love to share the wonders of this fascinating area with you “THE SAMAR ISLAND CAVES”. Your group can experience the thrill of descending into massive caverns, complete with subterranean natural bridges, soaring domed ceilings and exquisite stalactite and stalagmite formations (we'll even teach you which grow upward and which grow downward). The sparkling lakes, awesome caves and spectacular landscapes and the ever-surprising flora and fauna make hiking through these; an experience of a lifetime, especially when the people is so closely linked with the traditions of yesteryear, and be cultures that have survived the test of time. While the nature lover has more than enough opportunities to explore of it to the mans heart's content, the more adventurous visitor will be amazed at what Samar Island Caves have to offer, and will certainly find that simply won't have the time to try all that is on offer.
Calling all you cavers! Samar Island has some amazing caves and cave systems. Some have been explored and charted but most remain undeveloped. These caves are among the most significant and spectacular in the country. Samar offer a wide variety of caving experiences even for the beginners as well as the intermediate spelunker, and guarrantees you a most fascinating experience underground.

LANGUN-GOBINGOB CAVE CALBIGA,SAMAR (THE BIGGEST CAVE IN THE PHILIPPINES)
CAECOGOBIUS CRYPTOPHTALMUS
First hipogean fish found in the Philippines, and first gobinee known in the world, discovered
in the karst of Calbiga,Samar, in 1987 by the italian speleologist. The name originates from the total absence of any external traces of eye.
The presence of some pigmentation, thin and tiny scale, and deeply embedded eye indicate that the adaptive process to the cave habitat is still underway. Length is about 7 centimeters

MAP INSIDE THE LANGUN-GOBINGOB CAVES
The Calbiga Cave, the Philippines biggest karst formation and at 2970 hectares, one of the largest in Asia, is an adventurer playground. It was only first systematically explored in 1987 by an eight-person team of Italian speleologists, and the main cave, Langun, has a chamber the size of three football fields. All these attraction are between one and two hours drive, plus between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes walk, from the Calbiga proper.
