This is where you go to arrange boat trips to the Tabon Caves archaeological site. Call ahead to organise a boat. The fragments of Tabon Man and other ancient cave dwellers on display are all replicas, as are most of the old tools and artefacts. There are informative timelines of human civilisation in the Philippines, videos on prehistoric man, and some local arts and crafts for sale.
