点评:Super unprofessional and traumatic experience as the guide harassed me constantly when I did the canyoneering on 27 Nov 2025 morning - guide Jojie constantly asked me if I liked him back because he liked me back, and if I would be his girlfriend/let him be my boyfriend. As I was travelling solo as a woman and had read about people coming back from Kawasan canyoneering with serious injuries, I kept giving vague answers until we finished the canyoneering as I was afraid he would be upset if I rejected him upfront and not guide me through it. When we finished the dangerous canyoneering part and I rejected him explicitly, he said it was just a joke since I rejected him but that he was not happy.
In addition, there were times when my knees and back hit the rocks when he instructed me to jump off the rocks or lie back on the water, which could have easily turned out to be serious injuries. When I tipped him 100 pesos at the end, which I have been told by locals is the usual tip amount for canyoneering guides, he demanded another 100 pesos because of the photos he took of me. Sure, it's only a 100 pesos and I gave it to him as I did not want to deal with him anymore, but I was told the photography came as part of the canyoneering package and not an additional service and it felt disingenuous that I had to tip extra for that. Also, do not use the water shoes provided by them, as my feet were bleeding badly from being cut by them.
I guess one good thing was that he was patient in guiding me through the rocks slowly due to my bleeding feet and myopia. But considering his constant harassment, I am suspicious if it was just genuine consideration for me haha. Overall, a negative and unpleasant experience.
翻译:2025年11月27日上午,我独自一人参加了川山峡谷探险,这是一次极其不专业且令人痛苦的经历。向导Jojie不断骚扰我,问我是否也喜欢他,因为他喜欢我,还问我是否愿意做他的女朋友/让他做我的男朋友。由于我是独自旅行的女性,并且之前看过一些关于有人在川山峡谷探险后受重伤的报道,所以我一直含糊其辞,直到探险结束。我害怕如果我直接拒绝他,他会不高兴,从而不再带我。当我们结束危险的峡谷探险后,我明确地拒绝了他,他却说这只是个玩笑,尽管我拒绝了他,但他并不高兴。
此外,有好几次,当他指示我从岩石上跳下或躺在水里时,我的膝盖和背部都撞到了岩石,这很容易造成严重的伤害。最后我给了他100比索的小费,当地人告诉我这是峡谷探险向导的通常小费金额。结果他又因为给我拍照而索要100比索。当然,这只是100比索而已,而且我也不想再跟他纠缠,所以就给了。但是之前有人告诉我,拍照是峡谷探险套餐的一部分,不是额外收费的,所以我觉得他这么做很不厚道。还有,千万别用他们提供的水鞋,我的脚被划破了,血流不止。
不过,他唯一值得庆幸的地方是,因为我的脚流血了,而且我近视,所以他很耐心地慢慢地引导我走过岩石。但是考虑到他一直纠缠不休,我怀疑他是不是真的关心我,哈哈。总而言之,这是一次糟糕又不愉快的经历。
