SAGADA: Gareth Likigan: Best SAGGAS Guide for Exploring the Sumaging Cave

August 9, 2014


SAGADA: Gareth Likigan: Best SAGGAS Guide for Exploring the Sumaging Cave

WHY GET A GUIDE

1. They know where to go. 
Sumaging cave is very hard to navigate on your own. See my post "Exploring Sumaging Cave with Kids" to see how the Sumaging cave exploration goes.

2. They know how to keep you safe.
  • They provide the equipment that will keep you safe, like the lamps.
  • They remind you where to step, what rocks are slippery and where to step to avoid guano. 
  • They also try to gauge your physical capability and decide whether to take you the whole length of the cave or just part of it.

3. They take your photos.
It's impossible for you to hold a typical digital camera because you need both hands to keep your balance and to keep yourself safe. The guide can take your photo while exploring the cave

WHY GET GARETH LIKIGAN

I highly recommend that you get Gareth Likigan as your guide in Sumaging cave. 
  • He's very knowledgeable about the history of Sagada.

  • He's very experienced exploring the Sumaging cave. He constantly reminds us where it's safe to step on the rocks and is very vigilant all throughout the tour in keeping us out of danger.

  • He meticulously took our photos every step of the way so we had numerous and great photos of the tour.
  • Aside from this, he's also very likeable and nice to my kids. My kids enjoyed the tour and was given souvenir rings that Gareth himself made while going down the steps of Lumiang Burial Cave.

The finished product.

Then he gave my kids the rings he made as souvenir.
