1/3 One of Davao del Sur's natural attraction, Su'bon Cave in Barangay Asbang, Municipality of Matanao is known for the presence of water all throughout its trail. Spelunkers may wade through waist deep waters and crawl into narrow crevices as they navigate themselves inside the cave. Su'bon is abundant with stalagmites and stalactites as well as calcified limestone formations. A hole in Su'bon's canopy, which can be accessed via rappelling, signifies the end of Su'bon's trail. Su'bon is a Class ll cave. Caves in the Philippines are classified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Regional Cave Management Committee and the Protected Area Management Board (in protected areas). Class II caves are those with areas or portions that have hazardous conditions and contain sensitive geological, archeological, cultural, historical, and biological values or high quality ecosystem. It may be necessary to close sections of these caves seasonally or permanently (Su'bon is closed during the rainy season). However, it is allowed for experienced cavers or guided educational tours or visits. Visitors may take a break at Amgat Fye Tikong Waterfall nearby after their spelunking adventure. Sub'on Cave is identified as a community-based ecotourism as it employs local Blaan residents in Sitio Talambato as cave guides, tour guides, cave receptionists, and cave guardians.
